TARDY CHURCH GoING.-Tardy
church going is one of the evils Of
the day. 1t is wonderful how indif.
ferent many are to the interruption
in the services they cause by enter.
ing the house Of God while the min.
lister is reading the scriptures and
even during his discourse. Nor do
they seem to think of how much
spiritual benefit they lose by their
late coming. 1t is some times diff.
cult for persons to be always on
time; but, if the proper effort was
made to be promptly on hand, late
attendance would be rare occur

THE DERBY WINNER.-It is to be
regretted that go small an audience
was present to see The Derby Win
ner," Spink's most exciting comedy
drama, which was most forcibly pre-
sented on Tuesday night. The cast
was strong one, and the specialties
were very good. 1t is further to be
regretted that none of the company S
scenery could be used in presenting
the most exciting episodes of the
drama. The horse race especially
was tame, because of the narrow
stage, but the stable scene was good.
Manager Lambert has been careful
to book none but the best shows for
the Central Opera House, and we
think none will be finer than 1.-The
Derby Winner

C. W. Darby figured largely in the
musical part of the program. The

of the two in two charming duets
His ''Plectrophone" solo, "I.a Danse

pleasure, and encored to the third
repetition. We are glad that Mar
