BOWLING LAST NIGHT.

Tontine luck, combined with good
bowling is hard TO beat, but the Waverlys
came very near doing the trick last night
in the contest at Pines alleys, and as it
was they made the winners decidedly
nervous in the last few frames, when
Armsby by fine bowling secured two sue
cessive spares, thereby securing the high
single string for the evening. The Ton
tines won the first string by twenty pins.
The Waverlys the second by one tie third
by Is, thus giving the Tontines lead Of
but three pins at the finish. Pine was
high roller for the evening on total 27s
and rolled fine game on the last string,
securing six tens. Dyer put up his usual
fine game. The score:

team is much improved since their last

ceived the highest of praise from all guar

STAR COURSE.
The second concert will be given at
City Hall, Nov. srd, when the Prize Sing
ers from Wales will appear. The people
of Wales are noted the world over for the
beauty of their voices, and as they are
trained in music from infancy, Wales
produces more good singers than any 9th
err country. The WEIGH Prize Singer
will add to the great reputation OF their
mother country in this regard. and Will
give the concert goers of America treat
not to be soon forgotten. Each member
of the choir Is an artist who has gained
laurels at home. This company OF picked
artists is made up of the best voices OF
Wales, and organized under the super
vision of Mr.. Dan Davies, Wales greatest
conductor. 1t consists of double quar-
tette, every voice a rare one, all having
gained repeated prizes in their natiohal
contests, and they will surely sustain the
fame of their country as the land OF
song" A few more season tickets Will
be sold between now and Nov. 3rd. Ihey
may be obtained of Mrs. Palmer, Prebie
House, between four and six o'clock
daily.
THE HIGHWAYMAN.
1.-The Highwayman," comic opera py
DeKoven and Smith, received its hrst
presentation on any stage at the Hyperion
Theatre. New Haven, last Friday night
The story is unusually Interesting, and
the music is in DeKoven's best style.
Nearly all of the songs were re-demanded,
and the striking situations seemed to
please the audience greatly. In fact,
"The Highwayman'' may fairly be
called an operatic novelty. At the end
of the first act the hundreds of Yale stu
dents in the audience insisted upon the
entire cast appearing before the curtain.
THE GAIETY.
| The vaudev;iio SHOWS OF the Gaiety are
maneged intelligently, and packed houses
greeted the initial performances of the
1Glee's company at yesterdays matinee
and evening entertainment. Geraldine
and Gerald Glee captured the crowd in
their musical specialties. Miss Glee played
the violin with rare skill and technique,
while as guitarist she is marvel. She
has soprano voice, pure and well
trained, which she uses to the best ad-
vantage. Not far behind her is Mr.. Glee,
whose work on horns, eupaonium, etc.,
is deserving of great praise.
| While these may be the central figures
there are others who hold the attention
of the audience. The Flemings are grace
full contortionists, and seem to be as flex-
ible as india rubber itself. Marie Alletta
pirouettes gracefully, and Cuponti and
Mile. Marie gave difficult feats of jug.
glery. There were up to date songs.
dances and topical hits, etc., and the
many commendable features of this clean
variety show should insure crowded
| houses during the entire week.

going to Fitchburg. Mass. where the hus-
bard had secured a situation as ma

ticket only took them to this city. The
husband was too i'll to walk about, but
the wife took the youngest child in her
arms and walked through the snow and
sfush. along the Maine Central yard to
the car Shops. She went into the ma
chinist department and soNcited help of
the men. Master Workman John Ellis
heard her story and went about among
the men of that department. securing a
sufficient sum to purchase a ticket for the
whole family to Fftchburg. and there was
a little sum besides. The family took the

beat Coburn at football. We don't under

we felt sorry for the genial veteran foot
ball player. Hal Hunt. after the game.
Ii was the last game of the season and ii
was kind of tough that the Bangor colors
should go down in defeat. We were sur
prised. Bangor was more than surprised.
Tle story is easily told and it doesn't
amount to much. Coburn went into the
battle determined to win. and they won
easily. 1t was a cinch. At the first kick
off Bangor only kicked about 10 yards.
1t required just six minutes for Smith,
Sproul and Flood to take the ball on a
successful ard triumphal trip to the Ban
sor goal and go over Sproul doing the
trick and Flood kicked goal. Bangor
was simply nowhere. The visitors could
not seem to get hold of Coburn. 1t may
have been the snow that bothered BAN
ger. but Coburn mad as much snow on
her half of the field as the visitors had
on theirs. Bangor kicked again. this
time to the Coburn 10-yard line. and
Sproul took it back 20 yards Again
Clark, Smith, Sproul and Flood pushed
the ball through the line and around the
enCs, losing the ball to Bangor who FUN
bled it twice. and when time was called
the bail was on Bangor's 35-yard line.

to Bangor's 5-yard line and then held
Bangor for downs. Steadily the ball was

the ball and it fell on Bangor's 1-yard
line. Hal attempted to punt but finding

the BAN back. and it became Coburn's
ball on that account. Only one yard to
go over and Smith was the man that
was selected to be crowded over. He got
there by just about a foot. in minutes
of pay. Flood kicked goal. Score II to 0.
Bangor kicked to Coburns 15-yard line

just as easy as rolling off a log. Bangor
seemed to be in a doze The visitors did
