''SHIP AHoY"
ibid it ever occur to you" the topical
song sung by the Colonel in "Ship Alloy"
Is noted as being the most popular topical
song which Is sung today. As the main in
terest in song of this kind depends ON
having the verses localized, the manage
ment of "Ship Alloy" offer prize of
$500 10 each place at which the opera will
appear. for the best local stanza. This
contest is open to all, the only conditions
being that the staDzas submitted must be
of local character, and they must be in
the hands of the manager of the theatre
the day before the OPERAS billed to appear.
The stanzas should be enclosed In an en-
velope containing also the authors name.
Each evening a committee of local news
paper men will decide which stanza is the
best, and 1t will be sung at that evenings
performance. Thus the successful author
will recognize his work, and by giving his
name at the box Office Immediately after
the second act, during which the song is
sung, the successful writer will receive his
or her money Immediately, not being
obliged to wait until the close of the per-
Torrance. The following stanza shows
the proper metre
"The ways Of the world are curious ways.
Did II ever occur to you?
The days that we live In are singular days.
Did it ever occur to you?
1t happens ofttimes tuat people you meet
Are not quite at home what they seem on the
street,
For q man may be dressy, and still a dead
beat.
Did that ever occur to you2"
NOTES.
1t Is rumored that the Kendals NAV be

schmar hall, in which case probably the
