the large numbsr OF subscription tickets
disposed of ana the result of the general
sale of tickets which began at the box

the capacity of the large auditorium will

Of the club was never greater than it is at
the present time ana the rendering of
1.-THE swan and the Skylark," by the
soloists and chorus will probably be a
source OF great deal of satisfaction to
the legion of admirers of this popular
local musical organization. The part Of
the program assigned to the soloists is of
the highest quality and each voice will
be called upon to contribute literally of
It's power in the rendering of some of the

grand champion coach stallion OF the Chicago
horse show, has been declared ringer"
and his owners, Graham Bros. OF Cfaremont,
Ont. have been ordered TO return the tro-
phies awarded by the judges.
IL has been found that the stallion is an inn
ported half breed, not registered in America,
and never can be because of the rulings Of the
American hackney stud book.
The state board in at present withholding
money won by Graham Bros draft stallion

Secretary Garrsrd, in speaking of the mat
ter, said
Royal Standard was ringer and we
have. from the evidence before us, no course
open but TO believe that the possibility OF his
exhibition was only secured through the con-
nivance OF an official.
''When the matter is Strengthened out, the
horses that were placed next 20 Royal Stand
ard by the judges will be awarded the prize
premiums"
The state board telegraphed TO DIR. William
Seward Webb, seOtary OF the American
hackney stud book, asking IL the horse was
registered. or was eligible TO registry but
the reply came that he was not even eligible
TO ENTRY" thus setting aside all doubts as
10 the facts in the case.
Royal Standard was adjudeed the winner
Of the iirst prize in the class for hackney
stations, three years old and over and stand
ing l5la hands at the shoulders. He then
won the hackney championship, defeating all
the other hackney stations shown. He then
entered the lists in:the coach. horse champion
ships. winning in the class for stations, any
age or breed, standing between l5la and 10
hands Winning in this class gave him right
To show for the grand challenge cup. and
there he won again.
1t is now more than likely, Mr. Garrard saws,
that the board will deal severely with the ex.
hibitors Of the horse, il IL can be proved that
they were fully aware Cf his ineligibility, and
also with the horse show official who may be
shown to have bsen in fault.
The stations that will succeed Royal Stand
ard in the championship class are Mark W.
Dunham's Indre, in the class for stations 49,
and 10 hands, and Perfection from the same
stable, VINO now takes his place as grand
champion stallion Of the show.

deserved ovation. Andrew Mack has teen

He has sung his way into the hearts of

DOWNED THE WHALERS.
The Grays Had an Easy Time WITH the
New Bedf0rds.

The sirays had the Whalers nv their mercy
last nipht and they were lucky to get even the
two goals that they did get TW Grays eyi'
IDENTIFY felt that the tail enders were easy for
them, and during the first two periods did
not do much but keep on the defensive ana
take considerable practice driving at the goal.
During these two periods Cunningham made
two goals and McPeck succeeded in eett
one by sword. The Whaers were pretty well
shadowed all the time. and about as soon as
one of them wanted TO do something he would
hnd Gray there to head him off. Cannvan
did some very steady blocking and more than
once held off his man till Cunningham or
Menard would come up and get the ball.
IL was highly amusing TO see Cunningham
and Menard fool the mighty Roberts, very
much TO the latter's chagrin. The ball was
behind the cage, with Cunningham on one
side and Menard on the other. Roberts
rushed in on the ball, but IL slipped over TO
the other man and Roberts after it, Back II
came, and almost without moving they kept
the ball passing between them certainly a
dozen times and Roberts between them tear
ing around vainly trying TO get in ON the ball.
Finally the boys tired of playing with him
in this way and sent the ball out 10 the centre.
II was in the third period that the Gray ;
went in and gave the Whaltrs tas'e Of
their ability. They scored five straight
guhls by fast work in seven minutes, three or
them within one minute and sS seconds. The
last one was made in eight seconds on three
strokes. Cunningham got the rush by simply
hitting the bali over to Menard. who came
up ON the side. He made one sure hard
drive for the cage and Smith blocked 1T on
nicely, the ball rolling right lack to Menard'
He gave il one more drive and II was sqnareiy
in the cage. The lrays then let up ara
passed the ball about to the confusion OF
the Whalers until the time was up. Conway
succeeded In caging the bail during ihs last
few minutes of lplay. Smith put up a nne
defence in goal for the Whalers, and In fact
the Whalers played a hard and good game,
but they lacked the team work OF the Grnys.
In fact the only time their team work showed
up to any xtent was on the last goal, which
was made 10y good passing up TO Conway VINO
WAS right at the cage and easily turned II IN
when he got il from Roberts.
The team work of the Grays is improving
constantly, and the game with the Tigers
Thanksgiving night will without doubt be
one OF the hottest ever seen here, for the
Grays are now squarely in second place and
are anxious to be IN first.
Menard played the best game he has shown
this season. and it is quite evident that he
Is rapidly getting down to his proper form.
