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 4 States :1? Buy the Gszsrrn. 1,9,... . .. 1., . 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~ M RS. G RANNIS. 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.
