CLOSE OF THE POLO SEASON AT CALAIS
The polo season closed at Calais Thursday night
with an exciting game between the Frontiers of
Calais aud the Quoddys of Eastport. The Frontiers
won easily in three straight goals amid wild
of enthusiasm. There were 1906 persons in the au-
dience. The Frontiers hold strong lead having
won three games out of four. After the game both
clubs were escorted to the American House by a
band, and grand banquet was given, followed by
concert.
GIRARD AND voKEs.
Those who staid away from the Bijou on account
Of rainy weather last night missed the best enter
tainment that has ever been given here in the rink
line. There was large number present however
in spite of the rain and they were well paid for GO
ing. The programme opened with an exhibition Of
juggling on skates by the Powers Bros. 1t was the
first appearance of these gentlemen here their feat
ure of the entertainment was one of its best ones
They finished with clog dance on skates, on pedas-
tails. Miss M. Ethel Yokes followed with a bicycle
exhibition and Miss Fannie Newhall gave a fine ex-
hibition Of fancy skating. Mr.. Fred Girard was
down for the next, but sickness prevented his ap-
pearance. In his place Portlands favorite, Prof.
VIM. E. Livesey gave an exhibition which was one
of his best. He executed the most difficult move
ments without fault and for ease and grace they
never were excelled here. He was loudly recalled,
but owing to the length of the programme simply
bowed his aeknowledgements Mr.. ID. j. Canary,
next gave of his unrivaled exhibitions of fancy
bicycle riding. 1t was repetition of what he has
already done here before and was carried through
without error. The Powers Brothers closed the en-
tertainment with an imitation of two beginners on
skates.
The entertainment is something new as a whole
although nearly all the artists have appeared here
separately and is destined to draw large audiences
wherever the company goes.
