Gorman's Alabama Troubadours.
There was a large attendance at both
performances by the Alabama Trouba-
dours at Riverton park yesterday. The
programme of the present engagement
has been quite materially changed from
that of the previous entertainments.
There is life and genuine fun in the i'm
presentations of the scenes from Southern
life and the audienc is kept in good HUI
NOR throughout the entire programme.
The troubadours have always been IA
vorite organization and their lastIweek at
Riverton will be one of constant success.
Little Phil takes as naturally to the fun
as one of more advanced years and every
move he makes is watched with the ut
most pleasure by the audience. Surround
ed though he is by singers and dancers of
the first quality, he is easily classed as
star. The entire programme is bright
and interesting and is well worth hearing.
The ride to Riverton park is delightful

crowded, especially during the afternoon
and evening trips of each day.

SIR CHARLES RIVERS-WILSON IN
AMERICA.
(Montreal Starr
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, the president
of the Grand Trunk Railway company, is
on his annual visit to Canada. and is
staying at the Windsor. He came over to
New York on the Lucania and arrived in
Montreal on Sunday morning. He is
accompanied by Lady Wilson and Mr.. H.
S. Norman.
Speaking to a, Star reporter yesterday
morning, Sir Charles expressed himself
as fully satisfied with the result Of the
past years operation of the Grand Trunk
system under the new management. The
public had been infomed weekly and
monthly concerning increased earnings
and he had little to add to what was
already known.
The prospect for business was improving
daily, and with the settlement OF the
United States tariff agitation, he looked
for a marked revival in business.
The directors of the Crank Trunk like
business men all over Great Britain, an
ticipated a considerable increase in trade
between Canada and the Mother Country
as result of the new Canadian tariff,
and the Grand Trunk hoped to benefit
from that trade development.
The advance in Ora nd Trunk securities
in London of late was, said ESir Charles,
due partly to general rise in American
securities and partly to the improved
financial position of the company in con-
sequence of the increased earnings
'The machine is now in good running
order, }" said Sir Charles, land we are
now ready to handle all business that
commercial, industrial and agricultural
communities can furnish u.s.
Sir Charles has not yet decided upon
his plans for the present tour. He may
visit Chicago, but his present intention
is to spend the whole of his time in spect-
ing the line in Ontario and Quebec

1t was claimed at Old Orchard last

A good deal of the baggage went over

In looking over the seasons attrac-

how many ambitious stars of five
years ago are now in the support"
Hard times have weeded out the in
competent or inefficient stars. Those
at the head of present day companies
hold their places through the princi-
pie enunciated Darwin-''the survival
of the fittest"
Katie Putnam is one of those who
has stood the crucical test and kept
at the top while the mushroom stars
dropped back to their proper places.
There is no more brilliant or energet-
ic Young woman on the stage She
has not made the common mistake
Of other stars intryiug to carry
too much but has confined herself
to her own enterpriSe-The Katie Put
nam company. The money she has
made has not been invested in Met
rOpOlitan theatres or in other COM
panies or in anything to detract and
divide her attention. Though only in
the prime of life. She prefers to con-
tinue on the stage and give the pub
lie the best that experience, natural
talent and money will bring.
