Mr.. Finlayson had been in falling
health about three years. but 1t was
only recently that his friends antici-
pated danger. He was member OF the
firm Of Finlayson Frayser. horse

THE ARrON LADIES' QUARTETTE.
Second Entertainment OF star
Course Next Friday Night.


Those who have had the pleasure of
attending the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION star course entertainments OF
the past seasons can testify TO their
excellency. and the course Of this season
started out in a most attractive and
meritorious manner. Already the sale oil
tickets exceeds previous years, and there
is every reason TO believe that the course
will become more popular as the season
advances. The second number Of the
course Will be the Arion Cook Combina-
ton. consisting of the Arion Ladies
Ouartette. Of Chicago. and J. Edmund V.
Cooke. Clevelands happiest, brightest
and wittiest poet Indeed. rare treat
is in store in both the musical and lite
rary lines.
A musical critic was heard to say yes
terday that if the voices of the fair
maidens who composed the quartette are
as attractive as their fair faces. there
will be no cause for complaint" In
fact. tho committee is safe in promising
that 1t will be an evening OF not only
facial beauty and artistic expression, but
also of charming melodies and vocal eX-
cellencv. The quartette has an enviable
reputation for vocal music. The Cleve-
land Leader, in speaking OF this quar-
tette. said: "The ladies excelled in
perfect blending Of their youthful and
fresh vet sonorous and well-trained
voices Sweet, strong melody. full OF
life and character executed by one or
two solo voices. seemed to float on the
gentle rise or fall of softly undulatlng
accompaniment. performed to perfection
by the other voices"
Mr.. Cookies reputation as poet mas
extended over the entire land. No less
personage than Bill Nye. with whom all
gentlemen of intellectual appearance are
we'll acquainted, has given Mr.. Cooke an
UNQUALIFIED recommendation as a poet
worthy of an audience Of intellectual
hearers.
There is no doubt that the second num-
her of the star course will be well
patronized by season-ticket holders, ana
that there will be a great demand for
single admissions. The box office opens
for reserved seats Wednesday morning
at o'clock. There are a few season
tickets left, which can be secured al the
association building. The sales this year
are limited to JC0 in order that there
may be 100 seats for single admission for
each entertainment.
The third number Of the course viii
take place on New-Year,s evening, when
the Brown University Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin Clubs will appear. II is believed
that the innovation Of having a star
course entertainment on the evening Of
q holiday Will prove very popular.
