An “Evening World” observer standing in upper Sev- enth avenue for a few moments last might counted forty-seven carriages going down the drive, of which nine- feen were without lights. It 1s par- Qieularly important that the ordinance @hould be enforced at this season, as larkness is coming on earlier and earlier, and more bicyclists and @estrians are abroad after the passing Of daylight. There is no complaint that the ordi- Manee is unjust or severe, It is a rea- @onable regulation, adopted in the in- terests of public safety. Allowing It to lapse into a dead-letter state, the police will be guilty of an inexcusable negligence which may have serious re- sults, The subject is a good one for Mr. Roosevelt's attention. An earnest ad- Monition from his lips or his pen would undoubtedly accomplish wonders in the way of carriage light ordinance en- forcement.

Of course, every true American will now say that theDefender ts sure to win; that Baturday’s race has plainly shown that et all kinds of sailing the British boat fs much inferior. But ts this reasoning entirely right? Those who look at these things with the eye of the expert think that the Defender on Saturday got all the luck, and that while luck did not win the race, it did help very materially to pile up the minutes that marked the Gifference between the two boats at the finish. If the luck had fallen to the British how would they have finished? Moreover, it often happens that boats that are built for one kind of weather @o not do so well sailing under the con- Gitions which they were butlt to meet.

A new school year opens in New York to-day. It is a welcome occasion to most of the pupils, however glad they may have been at the beginning of the long Summer vacation. School assocta- tions are always pleasant, even though the accompanying routine of study may become wearisome towards the end of a long season. And the spectacle of the returning hosts of scholars !e « gratifying one, also, to the city's “chil- dren of a lager growth.” The public school system plays a large and vital part In shaping the affairs and destinies of city, Btate and nation, and is, there- fore, a matter of pride and vital inter- est to every intelligent citizen, A blot on the general brightness of the occasion ts the insufficiency of the school accommodations in the city. It is estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000 children are crowded out. From this number, however, the authorities claim that several thousand must be deducted, representing boys and girls for whom there 1s room, but whose parents keep them out because they can't get seats in the very nearest schools or because of considerations involving the sect of other pupils, These parents gullty of an offense against the school laws MIOOLA PIEROUA. and against American principles.

For this reason “Princess Bonn wil! not be a dire failure. It couldn't be a dire anything, as it is lacking in the necessary force, Have you ever, after reading an abstruse problem novel by— say John Oliver Hobbes—taken up one of the old, old ctories that used to de- Nght you when you were a “kiddy? Have you ever found that these stories of the good little girl and the naughty little boy who used bad language and was whipped and put to bed positively rested your up-to-date sensatiors? 1 have, and that Is the effect that “Prin- ss3 Bonnie’ had upon me when 1 sat through {t on Saturday. It was reposeful, it made no demands upon mental activity, its tra-la-la and ting- ting-ting awakened no {deas at all. I sat there and let it triekle all over me, and it wasn't hot and it wasn't cold, It was tepid. There's much virtue in tepidity nowadays. It's a long time since I've heard any- thing like Mr. Spenser's music on the comic-opera stage, Sir Arthur Sullivan couldn't duplicate it if he tried, nor could Mr. Fuerst or Mr. Puerner or Gustave Kerker. It's the sort of thing that you couldn't even whistle, because all its strains are so evident, so expect- ed, .such foregone conclusions, It's waltz song, upon which, I presume, Mr. Spenser prides himself exceedingly, 1s the only number tn the entire opera that is nearly pretty. It is badly finished off, and Mr. Spenser has not known how to supply the few little touches that might have redeemed !t from its commonplace surroundin, The book {a in keeping with the music —Mr, Spenser did them both. All its merits are of the negative order. These merits consist of no allusions to “Trilby,” no topical wit on the subject of that festive scheme, the dry Sunday, and no horseplay. I don’t want to un- derestimate the value of these negative merits, In these days when uncouth laughter is secured by vulgarity and boisterous idiocy, it 18 worth mentton- ing the fact that they are lacking in the ‘Princess Bonnie.” Mr. Spenser's lyrics are easy and innocuous, with plenty of “Hush-a-bys” and “Slumber Gentlys” in them, and his book is de. void of complications of any sort. The Princess Bellabonnavita loves Roy, and she was rescued from drowning by Capt. Tarpulin and his si Shrimps, the champion cano‘ voted to sweet Kitty Clover, and writes verses to her. That is al} Shrimps, besides being in love with Kitty, is a funny man, and on one occasion, when somebody is laughing at his earnest- ness, he says, “You must belong to the Guion (guying) line." I thought that so supremely artless that !t did me good. His other jests were not nearly ai funny.

Some of the new nodes in silk or wool have a double-box lait down the front of the skirt, held down near the waist by two rows of fmcy buttons. English tailors are at work already making some charming ,juits for September.
