WILL sing 10 CESAR.
The Gladiators of the Circus Maximus
Rehearsing an Ode.
William Greer Harrison Accepts an
Invitation to Participate Was
Original Magister Arenee.

One of the principal features of the
coming reproduction of the ancient Cir
Gus Maximus will be the music
The same music will be given that was
heard at the recent Roman revival given
by the Olympic Club OF San Francisco,
and was specially composed for that en-
tertainment by II. j. Stewart, the COM
poser of the operas "Blutf King Hal"
and His Majesty" The grand march
which is played during the triumphal en-
try OF Caesar is an exceptionally fine
piece of work, and the airs to the hymn
OF the vestal virgins and the gladiators
ode to Cesar were most appropriate.
The members of the Sacramento Ath-
letic Club who are to be the gladiators in
the coming production were rehearsing
the ode to Cesar yesterday, under tie
baton of Professor Kinross. The ode is a
stirring composition. The words are by
Mrs. Douglas Adam, and are as follows: !:
sALUTATIoN.
Ave, Caesar Imperator!
We, thy soldiers. pass thee by:
Here. with thee our commentator
'Twere privilege to die!
Seven hills OF Rome! We bring US
Brave ana fair with youthful fire,
Laurel chapets weave or ding US
Cypress tor our funeral pyre.

The gladiators sing the ode Just before
they do battle. They are drawn up in a
long line in front of C9sar's stand, and
emphasize the ''Morituri to Salutant!" by
waving their swords.
The Executive Committee of the Ath-
letic Club recently sent request to VIM.
Greer Harrison, ex-President OF the
Olympic Club, TO take part in the circus
maXimus-the Magister Aren@. Mr.
harrison is a very busy man, but is very
friendly toward the local club. He re-
piled that he would take part on the
opening night, and as many succeeding
nights as possible. In Mr.. Harrison's
brain originated the idea of reproducing
the ancient Roman games in San Fran
cisco, and the artistic success Of that pro-
duction was due more to his energetic
management than to any other one cause

A VALUABLE RELIC.

It was made in China in the year 1904 for wealthy lady who had her wedding China all made to order there.

There were four of these pitchers and one was bought by David Merwin of Bridge water, a grandfather of Mrs Ford's. The pitcher is about 10 inches high and besides bearing the initials IA. s. w." there is on one side spread eagle with the natural colors, on another the god dess of liberty, and OF another stands Jefferson amid scene of commercial ae- tivity. The pitcher also bears the Ma sonic emblems up to the 12th degree and several patriotic sayings. Mrs Ford has had offers to sell it to Masonic parties. It Is great curiosity.

A MAN YOU LIKE TO MEET.

W. A. Watts, our enterprising mer- chant, is putting more goods in his al- ready heavily stocked store. Mir Watts enjoys the confidence of the public to an unusual degree, and by honest dealing has built up an immense trade. He is ably assisted by his neat and gentleman ly clerks, who feel 1t a pleasure to wait upon the humblest customer. This pop ular store carries one of the largest aud best stocks of goods in western COnnecti- cut. One side of the main store is piled high with dry goods, prints, notions and many neat and taking article to please the ladies. On the south side can be found choice line of staple and fancy groceries, of finest quality and in more varied assortment than is usually seen outside the cities. Mir Watts summer trade is very large and calls for strictly first class goods. Two large show win dows are built in the front of the store, extending back for a considerable dis tance and being separated from the main room by sash partitions. These two rooms are clean, light and free from dust. One is filled with guns, rifles, re- volvers, horse goods and various other notions. In the other is Mir Watts crock cry exhibit, and fine one too. An end less variety of pretty patterns greet the eye of the lone young man and cause him to long for a mate and home of his own. The annex is devoted to clothing, while in the rear may be found a good assortment of hardware and tools. The back room, which is as large as the main room of many stores, is filled almost to bursting, with the heavier articles of mer- chandise, while the cellar is filled with boxes and barrels to such an extent that one unfamiliar with the place needs a guide, should he wish to explore it. Ker- osene pill, of which Mir Watts sells about one barrel per day, is pumped from the safe in the cellar to a tank in the back room, thus saving many steps. A pipe supplies the store with pure spring wa ter. There are many conveniences about the store for the accommodations of cus- toners, and for facilitating the work. MT Watts Is thorough business man and endeavors in all things to keep abreast of the times. He is member of the Poquasset club, and takes leading part in all plays given by the club. He Is also treasurer of the town and prom inent member of Rising Sun lodge.
