METROPOLITAN NOTES.
Intorostlng Facts and Opinions Chroniclod
by the Daily Press of New York.

The Patriarch’s ball, which is an annual
pow-wow indulged. by New York’s exclu-

_ sive set with aristocratic desires, was

namely attended, too much so, in fact, to
be asuccess. A crowd is beastly common,
but when every member of the society is
privileged to invite a guest, the daugh-
ters usually have their way and the result
is an attendance of a. lot of sissy dudes
whom the truly patriarchial papa’s can-
not tolerate. The lines will be more
closely drawn hereafter. A society paper
announces that as the Baroness Fave. was
the leading representative of royalty
present, \Vard McAIlister, the President
of the Patriarchs, paid the Baronness
much attention. Giovanni del Drogo,
who is a relative of the Infants. Eulalie.
took the Countess de Brazza to supper.
Sir Roderick Cameron offered his arm to
the Marquise de Talleyrand Perigord.
And yet this is America. From the chins
up, every Woman at the ball might have
stepped from a picture of an early nine-
teenth century belle. All had their hair
brushed back in front and upin the back,
and then piled higher and higher, until
the . knot seemed to end in a point.
Those church-steeple coiifures must be
new.

 

It is not everybody who can go around
among his friends and by a little persua-
sive argument induce them to form a
syndicate which will pay out $50,000,000
in ,gold at the beck of his finger. But
that is just what John Aikman Stewart
did, and, although he is undoubtedly
proud of his success in so deftly manag-
ing to secure the whole issue of govern-
ment bonds, he does not exhibit the
Slightest sympton of what is generally
termed the “big head.”

But, then, John Aikman Stewart is
accustomed to deal with immense sums
of money, and while in this regard fam-
iliarity is not likely to breed contempt, it
may bring down to the plane of the or-
dinary what might otherwise be a mar-
vellous achievement. If, however, you
had been at the head of the Sub-Treasury
in this city, with its gold laden coffers,
for years; if you had directed the affairs
of a. great trust company, with its hold
on untold wealth; had you been accus«
tomed to keep a. watchful eye on millions
of your own hard earned coin, you might
eventually come to feel that a million,
more or less, was not a matter of over-
whelming moment.

And all this has been done by John A.
Stewart, the organizer of the syndicate
which has just won a. financial victory
which has set nearly the whole world
talking about it and the man who ma-
nouvred it.—N. Y. Herald.

 

\Ve are surprised to see that Dr. Park.
burst is unsparing in his denunciation
of Mr. Thomas C. Platt as a wicked foe
to municipal reform of the kind approved
by the pulpit of the Madison Square
Presbyterian Church.

Brother Platt has been an attendant at
that sanctuary exemplary in his punctu-
ality, and diligent as a. listener to the
spiritual and reformatory teachings and
admonitions of its pastor. He is a. Pres-
byterian in his religious proclivities, and
hence presumably of a severely religious
cast of lllllld. His choosing the Madison
Square Church as his particular place of
worship in town, and his prominence as
theT oceupant of one of the best pews,
would seem to indicate that; he was edi-
fied by the outgivings of its pulpit. Not

any of the Veteran and stalwart Presbyj '

terians sitting about him, the Hon Smith
Ely, J11, Mr. D. \Villis James, Mr. John
Crosby Brown, and Mr.W’illiam E. Dodge,
for instance, have been more punctual in
their attendance on the sanctuary, more
earnest in their devotions, or apparently
better satisfied with the spiritual food
offered them by the pastor than Brother
Platt, now scored as an abandoned politi-
cal sinner by Dr. Parkhurst.—N. Y. Sun.

 

In spite of the apparent eagerness of
Lord D‘mraven to bring about a race for
the America’s Cup next fall, as matters
stand at present it looks as if the extra-
ordinary concessions demanded by the
Royal Yacht Squadron would make it
impossible to arrange a contest. The deed
of gift under which the New York Yacht
Club holds the cup is the principle ob~
stacle in the way of an agreement. This
document contains certain provisions
which were inserted for the purpose of
enabling the holders of the cup to prepare
themselves to defend its possession. The
English yachtsmen object most strongly
to the clause compelling them to disclose
the measurements of the boat with which
they propose to race for the cup, the claim
being made that this information gives
the holder of the cup an unusual advan-
tage in building a boat to defend posses-
sion of the trophy. To the lay mind,
however, such a result would seem to be
highly creditable to the skill of the de-
signer of the American boat and no hard.
ship whatever to the challenger.

Where Uncle Sam's Flags Are Made.

Before a man-o’-war is completely
equipped she must be supplied with a
varied assortment of the flags of all na-
tions. The flag lockers of a cruiser like
the New York will contain more than two
hundred different designs.

All the flags for our navy are made in
the equipment building at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The floor of the flag room
is covered with lines representing the
exact measurements of the various en-
signs, and it is no easy matter to turn out
a flag which will be exactly according to
pattern, both as to design and measure-
ment. There are eight colors used in
flags—red, white, blue, orange, yellow;
green, brown, black and canary yellow.
The canary yellow isused instead of white
in flags used for signalling. This is be-
c s it is found that, when signalling at
a. stance, a white flag or a device on
a white ground blends with the horizon
and becomes almost invisible. The larg.
est American flag made is called No. 1..
It measures 34.86 feet in length and 13.12
feet in breadth, and is very rarely used.
The size called No. 2, which is consider—
ably smaller, is the one generally used by
war ships. Cruisers carry the Stars and
Stripes in seven different sizes, but only
the Minneapolis and the Detroit fly the
gigantic N o. _1 size.

The most difficult flag to make is that
of San Salvador. This flag requires all
the colors, and Costa Rica. runs it close,
Our own flag is
by no means an easy one to make. The
44 stars in their blue field have to be ac-

‘ curately arranged, and the stripes mathe-

matically exact according to the ofiicial
pattern. The stars’are made of muslin,
folded 25 times and punched out by a
steel punCh. which cuts a dozen or more
stars at each operation. There are used
in the Navy Yard 50,000 yards of bunting
annually. which is all made in the United

DRAMA AND OPERA.

FAN'NY DAVENPORT’S VOLU PTUOUSr
NESS DISPLAYED IN GISMONDA.

A Play of the Character in Which Bern-

hardt Fits to n Nicity. Serious Ques-

tion‘s as to its Adaptability to Ameri-

 

 

can Needs.

A masterpiece by Vlctorien Sardou, one
of those powerful melodramas which he
writes primarily for Sara. Bernhardt, and
of which Fanny Davenport has been the
admirable heroine in the English ver-
sions, is being performed at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre. As is usually the case,
in these plays, Gismonda. celebrates the
acts of a sensuous, passionate, even wan-
ton woman, whose caloric nature offers
the only plea of excuse for her exploits of
animal love. Having devised a story of
romantic sweep and daring episodes, he
endows the woman with engrossing pow-
ers of fascination, intellectual and phy-
sical, so that the man who falls under
her spell may seem reasonable in becom-
ing a. very desperado in his deeds to pos-
sess her. This scheme has been worked
out again in Gismouda. with consummate
art, fertile resort and command of theat-
rical expedient. Miss Davenport was
quite equal to the large demand made
upon her for the portrayal of Gismonda,
a creature of the warmest ador or the
coolest selfishness, of the bert or worst
impulses, necording to mood, whim.
caprice or really deep emotion.
ress had never looked handsomer or acted
more ably. No doubt. there Were many
in the audience who compared all she
did with what would be Bernhardt’s way
of doing it, and this to the disparagement
of the American. The two actresses are
unlike in manner, as they are in kind and
degree of ability, and it was therefore all
the more to Miss. Davenport’s credit that
she succeeded brilliantly—as she surely
did—in a role designed and formulated
for so peculiar an 'artist as the great
French, woman. The story of Gismonda
has had a. world wide reputation.

Mrs. Grannis has taken a new tack in
reform methods, and one which has quite
scandalized the swells of the aristocracy.
As a crusader her attention was called to
the living pictures now popular in so
many New York theatres. She gave them
a cursory glance, enough, however, to
convince her that they were not only not
immodest, but were truly artistic and
beautiful. Her eyes, however, reverted
to ,the boxes of the Metropolitan Opera
House, and there among the ultra fash-
ionables she saw nakedness not simu~

lated, but actual, with bare backs and
necks of every conceivable variety, I’but
withal thoroughly inartistic and sugges-
tive. Few women are beautiful about the
shoulders, and when ugliness is wantonly
displayed, it takes on another character,
and Mrs. Grannis frankly discusses the
subject and gives her unbiased and un-
trammeled opinion of such displays in
forcible and convincing language.

New Yorkers are apparently becoming
indifferent to the cost of their amuse-
ments. A few years ago there was a per-
petual outcry against speculators because
they charged an advance of 50 cents a seat,
and the theatres were periodically de-
nounced because they asked $1.50 for
seats in the orchestra. The old prices
were $1.50 for a few choice seats in the
parquet and $1 in the orchestra circle,
which was the range of seats immediately
back of those in the body of the house.
Theatrical managers, however, have
gradually advanced prices, and the public
has ceased to grumble. There is no doubt
that in a short time we shall be asked to
pay the same price for parquet seats as
they do for similar seats, called “stalls,”
in the London theatres, that is, $2.50 a
seat. Augustin Daly started in to charge
$2 a. seat some time ago, and that price is
now in vogue at the Empire, and will be
in force at. the Fifth Avenue Theatre dur-
ing Fanny Davenport’s season. Mr.
French asked 82 a seat and got it while he
was at the Garden Theatre, and it is likely
that all the theatres will eventually adopt
this price except those located in the
cheaper sections of the town. Opera seats
are $5 apiece and nobody murmurs about
it, and people pay $10 and $15 a seat for
football tickets and fight for the chance
to buy. The price of boxes, by the way,
has remained the same through all the
fluctuations in the price of seats. This is
because boxes are not popular among
amusement seekers, either here or else-
where, except when the entertainment is
in the form of grand opera. The people
have come to realize that the'worst point
of vantage possible in a. theatre is in a
private box.

Curious evolutions of the living picture
craze are to be seen at Proctor’s and at
the Bijou Theatre. Mr. Hoey, who is
known by the affectionate titles of “Old
Bill” and “Old Hoss,” gives living pic-
tures in his show to which neither Mrs.
Grannis, LadyHenry Somerset, nor Capt.
Schmittberger would take exception.
They are not new, but are entirely comic,
and exhibit such episodes as those of a
young woman falling from the limb of a
tree and a tramp flirting with a. lady on
Broadway. At Proctor’s Theatre Miss
Susie Kirwin has developed a. living pic-
ture fad in an altogether remarkable way.
She began by giving pictures of the nude,
but these have been abolished, and in their
places are representations. of celebrated
paintings, Which are given with remark—
able fidelity. Theyarc accompanied by
instrumental music, and occasionally by
songs behind the scenes, and the battle
pieces are made more realistic by the tell
of drums, the firing of musketry, and the
boom of cannon. There‘is a great variety
of subjects, and 50 perfect is the mount-
ing, the staging, and the generally artis-
tic efiect of the background that the pic-
t-ures are continuously applauded.
