THE Long Island Society, Daughters of the Revolution, were delightfully entertained on Tuesday last by Mrs. W. S. Cogswell at the Manor House in King's Park, Jamaica. The assembly room of the old mansion was crowded with an enthusiastic company, prominent among which were several officers of the General Society.

At two o'clock the regular business meeting opened. It was presided over by Mrs. Stuart H. Moore in the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Andrew Jacobs, the regent.

A program of music, contributed by Mrs. William Wyckoff, Mrs. John Wyckoff, the Misses Brown and Miss Lamar, and a history of the King Manor House, by Mrs. Cogswell, followed. The guests then roamed through the spacious old mansion, admiring the stately rooms and especially the drawing-room, which has been secured by the Long Island Society and which it is hoped will be furnished in Colonial style at an early date.

His latest achievement was to win every prize in the class at the great Atlanta Fair, but, aside from this, he has made the circuit of the principal live stock exhibitions this season, and out of his premiums has not only paid all expenses but made a considerable profit. WHILE drawing a fairly representative audience, the production of English opera at the Metropolitan Opera House has not been marked by a distinctly fashionable attendance. Fanchon Thompson's American debut on Tuesday night in the role of Carmen was, however, somewhat of an exception, the house being filled with her friends and admirers, including many well-known people All the boxes were taken, while nearly every chair in the vast auditorium was occupied. It was naturally a very sympathetic and appreciative audience, bestowing liberal applause on the fair prima donna, who was singing against such odds, especially when she appeared before the curtain at the close of the first act.

The flowers which were handed over the footlights to her were magnificent, one basket of American Beauty roses and chrysanthemums with a gilt cage, containing a little canary bird suspended from the handle, being especially noteworthy.
