The "Ninety and Nine." a rural comedy of more than usual merit, is to open the season at the Folly on AuguBt 26, Saturday, and irrespective of the fact that it has appeared here on two previous occasions, the story of the play which is by Ramsey Morris is of interest to local playgoers.

Tom Sinsleton, who. falsely accused, resorts to drink and, lost to family and society in debauch, is rescued by a woman of exalted character, actuated by love.

Going to Europ8 in Interests of Bethlehem Company to Study Conditions in Several Countries. Charles M. Schwab and a number of the engineers connected with the Bethlehem Ship Building Corporation are to take a three montlis trip to Europe, starting in a few days. From friendly sources close to Mr. Schwfb it was learned yesterday that It is Mr.

Schwab's intention to make an exhaustive study with his engineers of the shipbuilding industry in England, Scotland and on the Continent, iu the interests of the shipbuilding department of the Bethlehem works, which is the re-organized United States Shipbuilding concern. The original idea of the United States Shipbuilding Company, which was projected by John V. Young and which failed in its promotion because launched just upon the eve of an immense decline in market values of stocks, was ln line with the ambitious ideas of industrial expansion of that time. It was the Intention of the company's projectors to establish plants of the shipbuilding concern at convenient points along the entire coast line of the United States, to build ships of all descriptions with as much of the machinery as possible turned out alike, so as to be interchangeable. It would thus have been possible for a ship built by the United States Shipbuilding Company, or refitted by it at any of its plants, to put in for repairs at any of the ports where plants were maintained; and if disabled, by the breaking down of the regular types of machinery, to be relitted in a very short time, the parts being carried in stock at all times.

This would have meant much to shipping, and would have been a large inducement to shipowners to have their ships built by the company. It is understood that, in a more modest way, this idea is to bo attempted by the Bethlehem Company, the successor ot the United States Shipbuilding Company. Mr. Schwab, It is stated, is to make a close study of the shipbuilding industry In all its phases ln Europe, and will return in the winter prepared to put before his associates a complete Plan for the development of the shipbuilding department of the Bethlehem corporation. "LAND OF SUMMER REST." Yot another "Land of Summer Rest" has been discovered, and this only one night out from York Nova Scotia.

It has, for the New Yorker, many of the novelties and charms of a foreign land brought within easy reach. The Prince Arthur, of the Dominion Atlantic Railway Line (from whose agents, the Munson Steamship Company, of 32 beaver street, all information can be procured), leaves New York each Saturday at It A.M., and the journey to the old fishing town of Yarmouth, N. reached on the following Sunday afternoon, is very interesting. From Yarmouth there is a fast Pullman train service for Halifax, the capital, and all principal points in the Maritime Provinces, MAYOR MO CLELLAN FISHING. Mayor McClellan, of New Y'ork, and a party of friends are fishing for trout along the line of the Quebec and Lake St.

John Railway, where they are the guests of tho Triton Fish and Game Club. The new Secretary of State, Eilhit Root, accompanied by his two sons, will in all probability pay a visit to Lake St. John and the Saguenay after his return from Newfoundland and the Labrador coast, k4' -ar This will be an unusually busy week at "Port Arthur." in Pain's fireworks amphitheater, Manhattan Beach, and probably even the crowds which have already seen the spectacle there will be overtopped. It will not be surprising if all records of attendance are broken. One of the proposed events is an orphan asylum band contest; another is a performance in which the Royal Arcanum will have an interest.

There is much to keep the Manhattan end of tho island busy. The children will have an evening to themselves on Monday, and new and fantastic working figures in fireworks are being prepared for them; if time permits. a tunny policeman and a band of comic acrobats will be ready to tumble into the water. The popularity of the Long Island excursion has Induced the Long Island Railroad to try it once more, and on Thursday, August 17, a third large crowd is expected from the eastern north end of the Island. Next Saturday night will be the trial night with a lot of new specialties.

Colonel Frank E. Fillis, one of the leading attractions at the Boer War spectacle at Brighton Beach, has received during the last two weeks "not less than five hundred offers from booking agents in every part of the country. At the close of the season at Brighton Beach Park he has an eight weeks engagement in New York City, where he will be seen on the stage of one of the big theaters, accompanied by his "high school horse," Povero. At each performance at the Boer War spectacle this horse and his trainer receive round after round ot applause, which is appreciated by both horse and rider, which fact Is attested by Povero's graceful bowing in acknowledgment. The Boer War spectacle has many features added during the the last two weeks, among them being the airship, the California Arrow, on exhibition outside of the Boer War arena.

It Is the only one In the United States that has made successful flights around New York, and it is the only one of the many at the World's Fair at St. Louis last year that made a successful flight over the fair grounds. Captain Arthur W. Lewis, manager of the Boer War spectacle, has secured the ship, and it will be seen at the Boer War show until the close of the season, when it Is to be sailed across country by Aeronaut Leo Stevens to a state fair ln a nearby state, where it will again be on exhibition, and where daily flights will be made, principally in the interest of science and the demonstration of the possibilities of the construction of vessels that may bo used for the navigation of the air for both pleasure, pastime and even commercial purposes. A new feature introduced this week for the fir6t time is the work of Captain Vissor, the announcer, who, astride of his horse, is stationed 400 feet from the grand stand and makes hiB announcements of the various points of the spectacle.

The "Question Mark," a strange benst at Bostock's wild animal show, has been named "Bajazza." The suggestion came to Manager Tudor in a typewritten letter, at the bottom of which was the name Oscar Hammerstein, wnicn was printed by the writing machine, and is therefore presumed not to be from the famous theatrical manager. Mr. Tudor decided, after hearing the story of the coining of the epithet, which Hammerstein once applied to District Attorney Jerome, to adopt tus suggestion or tne anonymous writer, and henceforth so will the animal be known. The letter mentioned above follows: "Pardon me all if I again taka mv nen in hand and write something. On reading in tho public press that a Btrange and unknown animal was to be seen at Bostock's.

Conev Island, I hastened to look upon Changing my hat to one. not identified with mv ner- sonality, placed myself in the cage in Which said strange animal sleeps and wakes. I found that it made a great noise, spatting and spitting and back to noise again; but to do rcany nurt Dy it, one must go right up to It and ark it to hit one. and even then it would strike out viciously and miss one; and I round in general that it was nnisv. hut harmless, and I immediately Identified it as A the symptoms being unmistakable, Hoping to receive my reward for this, yours truly."
