The Watervllle Times of August 20 Mid of thr New York crop: Estimate must te still further reduced tn-- hop'plrklni; has beg-un and the yield Is r-r-tx to bf much lighter than it was thought It would b. The general vordlct is that hope are coming do v. n light. The crop in thin port of the Mate, it Is believed, -will be lews ttocn two-thirds of last year. Some put a a noe-holf. Picking is In full blast, some of th growers appearing to be afraid lice wouM gt into the hops if left much longer e tte vkK. A Mttle mould is ecen'ln some of the yaro. but It is beMeved the crop can be hart-AMtMt in good shape, the weather be tog cool and pleasant. The CoMeskW. X. Y., Index of August 24 eaM: The past week has been an unusually fawwraMe ue for the growth of the growing nop, which Is now ripening so rapidly that mt growers "will begin picking several dare eartter than was at nrst intended. Pick tog of the early variety Is now In progress, la the Utter yard work will. In general, be-f-ta est Thursday next, though some will not hogtu until the following Monday. Hops In this vtctalty are looking unusually bright. There t little or no mould or vermin and th prospects are bright for a yield of ex-cofMaltt- good quality. Thore will prob ably be at toast three-fourths of last year's ladleatlons now point to tne marKet at about 23 cents. The Schoharie. N. Y.. Democrat of August SI Mid: Picking of the crop of 1095 has already be gwa la fact the harvesting of the Hum phrey eeedllngs began last weak, and show a very goed yield. The weather at present to Mm and the hops are maturing finely. In mm i eecttOM lice and honcydew have ap peared and done much damage, but In this rton a choice crop will be gathered If the weather cod!t!on continue favorable. The yteld will be about one-third less than last roar ac heretofore estimated. Th CooperstowH. N. Y.. Farmer of August SS cotrtalnod the following: Several growers In this vicinity have al ready begun the harvesting of their crops, aad picking will be general next week. The weather staee our laot issue has been more favorable fr the growing crop. Reports from the yard1 are very conflicting. Al though It is certain that rod rust and blight are very prevalent in some sections vermin, aad mould have rather decreased under fav orable weather conditions. One grower re port that the blight has so injured a ten acre yard of hfcs that he does not expect to put a box Into it. This yard grew a vine that would warrant a yield of 1500 pounds per acre. Mop conditions in Bngland were thus re ported by the Kontleh Observer of August 17: Beoenden (Weald) There is a splendid show of hope ta alt gardens and the pros pect are brighter than for many years past. Mould Is prevalent here and there, and will doubt lee affect some of the s&jpplcfc, but not to any extent. Warmer nights are re quired to accelerate development. Bridge and Neighborhood Hops are Mill going on well, where they are all right, and will be a big crop, but, we regret to say, mould Is very threatening In some gardens. Canterbury o well are the hops develop ing that there Is every probability of an early picking. With the exception of a little mould here and there the vine Is in' a mot health)' condition and the prospect Is not only for an exceptionally large crop, but for nrst -rate quality. Faraham Hops are developing fairly well, hot on aooount of the low night temperature they are not making rapid progress. They look very bright and are free from disease. The crop will be an average one. Northam Although the hops make progress the burr to my ml Ml seems very slew In its tftevelepmont into hops. The night tempera ture ha been too cold. One night there was Mtfadent frot In the lowlands just here to brown th tips of rowen grass. Besides, although a good it will mainly be a "top" crop, and such is always affected by hot suns or cold. The exportation of so many hops mdteate shortage of stock abroad, which I hop will help the demand for, and tho value here of, thlv new crop. Cablegram received since that date have shew the Bngttsh crop to be oomlng down lighter than first estimated. A coble received yesterday from Bernard Atag. a hop merchant of Nuremberg, said of the Oerman crop: "Continuous rains prevail ing. Crop damaged." The New York Producers' Price Current oontatned the following report of the hop movement at that port: Bales.

Two big; audiences at the Beiasco by their enthusiasm, declared "Harriers Honeymoon" a hit It there ever was one. The pretty comedy Is In the best aenso a good play and It serves the purpose of showing; the Beiasco forces at their finest. The comedy was very popular as played by Minnie Mannering- and It Is Just as good as played here In Portland by the home company. Local people ought to feel proud of the production of "Harriot's Honeymoon." Sec it tonight. Extravaganza at the Baker. Specialties that are sure to command attention are to be found In the ranks of the "Brigadier Burlesquers." which com pany Is to hold the boards at the Baker all this week. No aggregation of fun makers who have shown hereabouts In years can compare with the list. Edmund Hayes, the star of the "Wise Guy," the farce-comedy offering In two acts, needs no recommendation. "The Prentice Four," a quartet of acrobats; "The Three Kuhns," In a singing and musical spe slalty; the Beaufort sisters, two pretty young girls who sing and dance charm ingly, are favorite specialties. The "Brig adlor Burlesquers" will hold the boards all week at the Baker, with matinees Wednesday (tomorrow), Thursday and Saturday. "Last Days of Pompeii." The spectacle of a mountain-top sudden ly opening and belching forth lire and flame, while houses were shattered and razed to earth by a terrific tremblor. was again witnessed by not less than 50ft) people at the amphitheatre built for this production at "The Oaks" last night. This being the last week of "Pompoll." doubtless the seating capacity will be taxed to Its utmost every night Seats can be secured at Ski dm ore's drug store, 151 Third street, and at the O. W. P. & Ry. Cos ticket office. First and Alder streets, and at a ticket office at "The Oaks." Xewmuns School of Acting, Favorably known to the theatrical pro fession of Portland, has recently made a special arrangement with Mr. "William Dickinson, of New York, to take charge of the dramatic department. This en hances the already strong advantages of the school for all those who are de sirous of embracing a career upon the stage. Pupils desiring a course In dra matic or vaudeville art or stage dancing will consult their interests by making a personal Investigation of the facilities at their disposal at Morrison street.

MAY -YET "DO EVEN BETTER Captain and Engineer Say Run' W'&s Xot Made Under the Best Con- , ditlons Reported Brcak . down Xot Correct. When the steamer Telegraph left tho dock at Astoria last Sunday afternoon the crew did not expect, nor the passengers on board, that she would lower the record to the phenomenal time of 5 hours and IS minutes. The steamer left the dock at Astoria at 2:37 P. M., with the usual amount of steam up. She passed Skamokawa at 3:32, a few minutes ahead of time. This ex cited no comment, for she had done this before, but when Oak Point was passed at 4:31. several minutes ahead of her scheduled time, the crew began to get ex cited, and when Warrior Rock at St- Hel ens was passed at 6:21, all knew she was running in record time or better, and tho excitement of the crew was communicated to the passengers. It was 7:15 when she put Into the mouth of the Willamette, and at exactly 7:53 she reached her dock in Portland, making the fastest time be tween Astoria and Portland ever made by any steamboat,. The steamer was in charge of Captain Arthur Rlgga. and the engines under Chief Engineer B. Dlonne, both of whom declare she can do better, and that the run was not made under the most favor able conditions. Captain U. B. Scott, the veteran steam boatman, was delighted with the showing made. This Is the seventh boat he has designed and built. The others are: The Ohio, City of Salem, Fleetwood. Tele phone, Flyer and City of Everett. The Telegraph was built at Sumner Iron Works, at Everett, in 1S03. under ppeclal plans of Captain Scott's, and un der his personal supervision, and is the result of 57 years of experience in steam boating. The reported breakdown of the steamer yesterday morning was not correct. No part of her machinery was broken, but she was delayed at the mouth of the Willamette for over an hour on account of clinkers In the grates caused by poor coal. Those were removed and she was soon on her way to Astoria. COMERIC IS X.OADDTG. Carries 3,130,000 Feet of Immber for China.
