The ups and downs of Oscar Hammerstein were contemmporancous with the activity of his egobsm. During the period in which he al- lowed the city to lead him Kis re- wards were great. Floods of gold poured into his coffers and there came to him what he valued more than} goldflattery and adulation, Each of these periods of prosperity and pub- Mecity served to increase his opinion ‘of himself until “I, Oscar Hammer- stein,” forgot the aid he had received from the gfeat commurtty of which he was such & prominent part, and sought to force his ideas against nat- ural developments, At such times he succumbed to the power of the spirit of Manhattan and dropped out of pubjic view until he had readjusted himself. Mr, Hammerstelg came to New York at a fortuitous time. The old New York began to change after tae Civit War with the growing mux of immigration and the steadily increas- Ing stream of energetic, forceful foik from other parts of the country de- termined to seek and profit by the op- portunities of the metropolis, There was in the very air stimulation tu mental and physical effort, althougo the young Hammerstein, the year be- ing 1863 and his age sixteen years, needed no goad.to endeavor. Hoe had visions of accomplishment and he knew that the road to accomplish- ment led over @ pavement of hard work. From 1863 to 1868 he worked in a cigar factory in Pearl Street and lived in a lodging house in Greenwich Street, His first wage amounted to $2 a weok, which he drew as an ap- prentice clgarmaker, Soon he be- came an expert at his trade, but nis active mind told him that rolling cigars by hand was a tedious, unsat- isfactory process and before his ma- jority he had patented and built a hg?" he asked. “I kippled an hour only yesterday,” ‘her unblushing reply—Journal of ‘Medital Association, machine which is used to this dcy in ure of cigars.

In this proceeding he got bie first taste of litigation, and for the rest of his life hp spent-much of his time in courts—suing and being sued, Hila initial bankruptcy experience Brew out of his only adventure into Journalism, He was ‘editor of a to- bacco trade paper and wrote an arti- cle which inspired a gentleman in the tobacco trate to sue for libel, jury returned a verdict‘against Ham- merstein of $4,500, which was about $4,500 more than he had, and he con- fessed himself a bankrupt. Rapidly developed inventions brought him money and he satisfied his credi- tors within a few months, The enteftainment business was call+ ing him. He was a P. T. Barnum in his way, and Barnum, flourishing at that period, furnished him with much of the foundation on which he built, in later years, the reputation of be- ing the best publicity grabber in the world, He slarted @ little theatre on the Bowery against the advice of friends and he failed. This was his first experience of the futility of seek- ing to force his ideas upon New York. His next experiment, the promotion of a theatre on the site of Tammany Hall in 1ith Streot, met with success, bocause he had followed the lead of the city and located in a district which was an amusement centre. Hammerstein's first important con- filct with the growth and develupment of New York occurred in 1880, when, after putting up a number of flat houres in Harlem be built thediariom OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN Opera House in 125th Street.

Then, influenced by his ego he developed the plan of put. ting the Metropolitan Opera Company out of business and bullt the Manhat- tan Opera House and an opera house in Philadelphia, New York was not ready for two grand opera companies and Hammerstein retired, but in the mean time he had ventured abroad to ndon, where he encountered an- other failure.

But we journeyed out there every.day, and how bright each new day seemed! “Perhaps, I thought, to-day we shall find .the treasure? Each morning I went forth with new energy and new hope. But there were so many of + us! | There was Mrs. Blumer, Mr. Laechra, our relatives, friends, and then old Daniel Balsinger used to be hanging around all the time, too, Lots of days he would come right out among us with his pick: and his shovel and dig and dig and dig just like the rest of us. We didn’t think this quite fair, since we had paid a cer- tain sum on the farm and\were to pay the rest later when we found our treasure. But he always said: ‘Well, you want to find it, don’t you? The more you have digging ihe sooner you'll locate it, Besides, just remember’ the, spirit of old Capt.

It is usually draped around a beach which is arranged near a lake in which there is lots of fishing to be had but no fish. If you live in one of the hotels you live on what is called the American Plan; an extremely unpatriotic way to refer to it. If all of us Americans had to live like that the year around we would have hollered for a League of Nations long ago, The meals are served in courses, For breakfast you get a course of toast that looks like a bad case of Sunburn and taste’ like a graphophone record.
