urday afternoon, was decided in favor of the
Rayenna club, by a score of to 0. The

that didn't count.
Lively OAS ChJOyo U1lSut3 CdtCAy AuoAC3 dI :
tistic dancing and lots of fun, when intro
duced by comedians that are sure to make
you laugh. 1t is said that Charles Horwitz,
the co-author of I" THE PRIMA DONNA" i" and
Neil Litchieldt the man of many faces, who
play broad character parts, are capable of
keeping an audience IN continual uproar
of laughter. Miss Inez Mecusker, the star,
seems to have surrounded herself with a
clever company and her engagement at the
Opera House, Friday evening. October 18th,

her friends and admirers in this city.
Between 6 and O'Clock Monday evening
Nicholas Knapp left the business part of
town, to go to his home in Randolph. He
drove double team, hitched to wagon, and
was feeling in more than ordinarily good
spirits-in fact he had altogether too much
"good spirits" On nearing the 3. & O.
crossing his team apparently concluded to
take their own time and route home, and in
his efforts 10 control them he brought them
in collision with loaded car which stood on
the siding. The near horse came in contact
with the car with such violence that its neck
was broken. The other horse, as we'll as the
driver, escaped serious injury.

desire to be nearer their boys, has decided
them to again make their home on the Pa
cifc slope. They will be missed by many
warm friends in Ravenna.
We are in receipt, through the courtesy of
Comrade L. w. Wood, of an official souve-
mir copy of the committees of entertainment
and Program of the 2Sth National En-
campment of the G. A. R., recently held at
Pittsburg, together with an account of the
/ origin and growth of the association. 1t is
profusely illustrated, depicting the architec-
tural and scenic attractions of the "smoky
city, and is a fiattering index of the lavish
hospitality and provision made for the en-
tertainment of the "boys" by its citizens.
The Loudin Fisk Jubilee Singers were
greeted with full house, Monday night
and the entertainment was well worthy OF an
evenings sitting. From the first to the fnal
number on the program they were greeted
with encores. The company is composed ot
talent of an exceptional high order. OF Mr.
Loudin's ability and accomplishments it ii
unnecessary 10 speak to the people of Raven
ma, whose estimate is manifested by the gen
erous patronage and applause with which
he is favored. Mr.. John T. Lane, first tenor
! is gifted with voice of remarkable compass
striking his notes throughout the registe
with that full and confident tone which add
so much to the pleasure of the listener, VIII
feels no uncertainty as to his execution o
the most trying passages. Miss M. P. Gallo
way, the leading soprano, has voice equal
ly capable in all the exactions of the register
and sings with the ease and grace of natura
andcultured talent. The solo, "Dear Hearts,
revealed the capabilities of her voice, an
was one of the most artistically rendere
numbers on the program. Miss Farrow, a.
though laboring under the disadvantages c
cold, rendered the solo "Far Away, mos
aeceptably. The solos of Mr.. Loudin, ''Dee
in the Mine,'' 'The Old Sexton," ga Sal
or's Life is the Life for Me-" elected th
generous applause merited by artistic rend
ton. The entire program was one sparklin
with musical gems, and it is seldom the pri7
ilege of a Ravenna audience to enjoy mi
sicaI feast of such excellence as that of MOI
day evening.
