 The five ladies who are dancing for a gold medal at Polls Wonderland the ater have developed an intensely bit ter rivalry among themselves, and this rivalry has extended in measure to the audience. People have picked their favorites already, and at every per- formance they vie with each other in applauding their choice, knowing that on the amount of applause bestowed depends the selection of the winner If several New Haven ladies enter the contest before the week is over, as they promise to do. this rivalry will be in- creased. In the speciality part of the bill there is excellent amusement pro- vided. Edward M. Favor and Edith Sinclair cause plenty of laughter with their amusing slxit "The McGuires," and Miss Lou Sanford's description of a dry goods clerk is very funny. Other clever artists on the bill are the great Albini, the four Lassards, MT. Hodg- kins and Miss Leith, Bingham, and MT. Davis and Miss Jerome.

In consequence of the widespread news of their wonderful skill in healing the afflicted these doc tors have had such rush of patients at the Elliott House as to compel them to limit the demonstrations of their healing power at the theater to Friday of this week, which will be the last of the free clinics for the present. The offices, however, will be open daily for the reception of those who are able and willing to pay for treatment. Those calling at the Elliott House may be sure of an honest opinion in every case ex- amined as no case will be taken that does not warrant successful termina- tion.
 This illustrated lecture and clinic is given in response to a special request of over two thousand ladies, who, by a rising vote at the last lecture, signified their desire to have it repeated. No lady, young or old, should miss this chance of seeing and hearing this tal- ented man and his able associates. Doors open at 1:S0. Go early if you de- l sire a seat. Admission is free to all parts of the house. The subject will be How to be Beautiful.
