alanky girl of fifteen years of age, Man
ager ohm Ellsler advertised for some
extra girls for the ballet in pantomime
he was getting up Clara applied for a
| place IN the extra ballet. She wore an
old, faded calico dress, much too short
for her long legs, thin shawl and
ragged wooden scarf wrapped around
her head. When the extra girls were no
longer required, Clara was retained for
small! parts. That was the beginning of
the career of the great emotional actress,
Clara Morris, who, by the way, is of
English, not American, birth. Pretty

laide Nelson begun life as child's
nurse, and Lady Hamilton as house
maid, Christine Nilsson was a poor
Swedish peasant, and ran barefooted in
childhood. Jenny Lind, also a Swede,
was daughter of principal of young
ladies boarding-School, and beyond
rather narrow circumstances had no es-
pecial difficulties in order to gain celeb
| rity. The great French actress, Rachel.
had as hard a childhood as ever fell to
the lot of genius, Ragged, barefoot
and hungry, she played the tambourine
in the streets, and sang and begged for
a dole. Naturally she was illiterate and
vulgar, but overCame both of these draw
backs at the same time that she gradu-
ally acquired renown. Chorlotte Cush-
man was the daughter of poor people,
who, however, gave her an excellent
education in the public schools. In order
to maintain herself, she aspired to be-
come an opera singer, but accidentally
losing her voice, became an actress in
stead. Adelaide Philips, the singer,
now dead, was treasury girl, and SO
for time was Sara Jewett, the actress.
The mother of Clara Louise Kellogg
strained every nerve to give Clara a mu-
steal education, and at one time was
professional spiritual medium. Miss Kel-
logg failed three times. Each time she re-
tired, not discouraged, but to devote her
selfto the still further development OF her
voice. Finally she took the public by
storm

years. The old fence had become nearly
worthless Th- buildings, after having with
stood the storms If may winters, were show
ing signs of decay The judges stand was
insufficient for the purposes required of it.
The track was in very dil.pidated condi-

whole thing must go by default
Several meetings were held and the matter
WAS thoroughly discussed and it was finally
agreed and voted that the officers proceed to
make the necessary repairs and improve
ments and that they pledge the ground as
security for the necessary funds. According
ly the property was pledged, the funds
secured and during the summer and fall of
last year the improvements were made.
