Of coarse the reason for these pre
posterous early openings is not hard to
find, since it lies in the minds of the
Broadway managers, and said minds
are not as deep as a well nor as wide
as Lobster square. These Broadway
producers have their next season's pro
gram pretty well made up before the
close of the current season. They know

dramas. And. like most gamblers who
have set aside a certain amount of
money to pla on a fixed number of
combinations, they want to test their
luck as quick! as possible and get the
agony over with. If the play fails, and
is borne out the back door of the the
ater on the bosom of a heat wave, the
manager can clear the boards for the
next plaj If it happens to succeed, he
has added a month or two to his sea
son's receipts. So, as a gamble, I sup
pose it is about as pood a scheme as
any.

of plans' calculated for winter con
sumption At this heated season of
the year, the regular pla going public
of the city, or at least, the more de
scriminating portion of it, is easing its
way through the dog days at tne sea
shore or at cool (alleged) mountain re
treats. The manager, therefore, knows
that the public he invites in to pass
upon his new play, consists largely of
out of town folks who appreciate anv
effort to entertain them, and that
scramr colony of actors and actresses,
who for one reason and another, are
obliged to remain on or near Broad
way through the hot months. Of
course this latter contingent never
knock a plaj at least not in the sum
mer tim it rrnnlrMi ton mnch effrtrt
in the first place and in the second 4
place they go to the theater as guests
of the manager. As the unwritten
code of the profession forbids adverse
comment on a play which was wit
nessed at the expense of its producer,
jou can readily see the advantage of
a July production. And then, as a
usual thing, the regular newspaper
critics are out of town and the press
reports are generally supplied by the
heroic press agent of the show con
cerned. The result of this is that be
fore the playgoing people of the city,
they who make or unmake a Broad
way production, return from their va
cations, the new play has built up a
favorable reputation and Is out of
harm's way.
"But supposing it doesn't stand the
test when the more discriminating crit
icism is turned loose on.it?" one may
ask. ,
"Very well then." we reply, as coolly
as possible in this Park Row melting
pot. "the nimble manager shoots the
thing onto the road, where it has the
prestige of its magnificent mid summer
advertising "
ITttme far Light Opera.
Turning from these low spirited
thoughts, we wipe our perspiring brow
and pass on to the contemplation of a
pleasant topic that is now the chief di
version of the conversationalists along
the rialto This is nothing other than
a proposittcn to establish a permanent
home in New York for the exclusive
production of light opera. Such an in
stitution as the Gpietv and Daly's in
London and the Follies Bergere in
Paris.
This is a eood idea. The wonder of
it is that it hasn't been done before.
The answer to that, doubtless, is that
theatrical productions in America are
more of an individual enterprise than
thev a'e hro-d especially in Eng
land. Knowing full well the great
monetary risks which attend every
production, it has come to pass in Lon
don that an individual producer Is a
thing unheard of Productions are .now
put out by s ndicates on the other side,
while this lessens the personal profits
cf those interested, it does, on the oth
er hand, lessen the inroads on the per
sonal bank account.
If such an enterprise as the London
Gaiety is launched here, and it looks
as if the launching will be good along
about December, it will not be the
usual individual affair. A number of
prominent Broadway producers will
have a hand in the pie And their
names are such as inspire confidence
that It will be a success.
The American IMajtirlicht.
Now comes Lee Shubert. just back
from dear old I-onoon. who savs that as
the scale of European productions Is
Being down, that of American plays
is going up He states there is a posi
tive demand in Eiglard. France and
Germany for America nplays. He also
annouces that hereafter he will de
pend almost ertirely on the native out-
rut, being thoroughly disillusioned
and disgusted with the things he saw
in Europe.
"The American playwright has ar
rived." 3ays Mr. Shubert. "Not only in
New York but in London. Paris and
Berlin. And he is getting ready to in
vade Vienna and St. Petersburg. Our
authors are turning out better plays,
not only truer to life but better tech
nical!, than the foreign playwrights.
There is an increasing demand, espe
cially in London, for our productions
and it looks as if New Tork in the near
future will be the great play market
of the world."
Of course it was a very hot day. the
one on which Mr Shubert arrived from
London, and the spectacle of the God
dess of Liberty in her cool clothes
might have had an undue influence on
the manager's conversation But Mr.

making a new record for this season.

barbecue feature of the celebration,
states that more than 3000 were fed

sections of the state and El Paso.

tournament race in the forenoon. There
nere seven entries. The race was won
by Marshall Parker, of this city.

The, boys' toot race was staged. This
ccntest was exciting and was won by
Gilbert Gordon, in a 60-yard dash.
The girls' foot race was won by Miss
Delia Porter.
Twent)-one and a quarter was the
time in the goat roping contest, won
by Albert Burch.
The cow pony race was won by Mar
shall Parker on William McNews

events of the entire day was the catch
ing of the greased pig. A large num
ber of youngsters entered the contest,
but the pig fell as a prize to Clifton
Jo, after considerable effort.
Greaxed Pale Tee Dlfftcnlt.
A large number of boys tried the
greased pole, but after many attempts
Dy each, no one was successful in
reaching the top.
The free-for-all race was won by Oli

The regular bronco busting contest
was eliminated on account of lack of
entries, but Hugh LongweU, riding
county treasurer J. A. Baird's horse.
"Lightweight." was awarded a prize
for the best bucking" horse.
Dr. J. G. Holmes and his "burro
parade" was the source of much amuse
ment. These had been drilled for sev
eral days and much care had been giv
en to their costumes, not only of the
boys but of the burros as well. Frank
Stone won the prize for the best cos
tume. The city was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with flags and bunt
ing. The pleasure of the day ended with
a dance at Beaver's hall which was
largely attended.
Nat Gillmore. of Ruldosa. has been
i added to the list of auto owners in this
I county. He was delivered yesterday a
