Mr.. Quiller-Couch finished the story in six
chapters, and the work was so well done
that the average reader would never sus

wars. The hero, scion of the old nobility,
who served as a subaltern and fell into the

The young peple of Gainesville
gave a first class dramatic eater
tainment in the opera house of
that city on Wednesday night to a
crowded house. Last week the
Orlando choral society rendered in
elegant style "The Doctor of Ala
cantara" for two nights in the op-
era house of that city to very large
houses. In our opinion the dra-
matte and musical talent in this
city is second to none in the state.
With proper training we could
give entertainments at home that
would be refined, elevating and
just as artistic as any travelling or.
ganization that comes to Florida.
They would be much better pat.
ronized, and the refined taste of
our thcater goers would not be con-
tinually shocked by a certain class
of travelling toughs that have no
vs.
more regard for social refinement
than so many cattle.

Carson City, New, will be the
place and March 18TH the date for

Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The

a bill and it has been signe d by the
governor legal ling the contest.
Already crowds are focking to the
scene to secure lodging Places and
punching arera is being erected

amend the bill compelling the gov

punching contest and make it a

would be better pleased and the
crowd would no doubt be larger.

FOOT BALL YESTERDAY.
Portland High Defeated by Bowdoin
Sophomores.
O-Some Very Bad Fumbling Respon-
sible for Poor Showing.

The visitors Scored re Points to Portland's
o-some Very Bad Fumbling Respon-
sible for Poor Showing.
The football game yesterday afternoon
between the Bowdoin Sophomores and the
High School eleven resulted in victory
for the oollegians by a score of 20 to 0. |.
To be defeated by the Sophomore team
was no disgrace to the High school boys
for their opponents outclassed them both
in age and weight, but despite this fact
there was little excuse for the Portland
boys losing the game, for notwithstand-
ing the handicap they had to overcome,
they at times played the Sophomores to a
standstill.
There were just two things to which
the crushing defeat of Portlansd may be
attributed. One was the execrable and
inexcusable fumbling and the other was
the poor Judgment used in running the
plays.
One might imagine to look at the score
that the collegians had regular walk
over. As matter Of fact they had moth
ing Of the kind and of their four touch
downs only two were earned. the others
being the result Of dummy work on the
part of the High School boys.
The Portland forwards put up fine
game. They held their heavy opponents
well and broke through repeatedly, but as
usual Portland's weakness was behind
the line where Underwood was the only
man who could be relied on to advance
the ball and even Bobby seemed too
affected with the fumbling fever yester-
day and he dropped the ball a couple of
times when he had no business to.
Within the last three minutes of play
ing time, the High school boys started a
new style Of play, namely, running the
guards and tackles with the ball, and this
plan worked to perfection. Watson.
Williams and Dorticos ploughed through
the Bowdoin line for big gains, but the
adoption of this style of play came SO
late in the game that 1t was like closing
the barn door after the horse had gone.
The first touchdown which the Sopho.
mores scored was practically gift, and
the Portland quarter back should be
voted leather medal for his brainy work
at this stage of the proceedings. Bowdoin
had worked the ball up to within three
yards of Portland's goal line and here
the High school boys made a splendid
stand and held them for downs.
When the teams lined up the Portland

beautiful contralto voice, steady and true,
and exceedingly sympathetic. She also
possesses charmingSclearness of enuncia-
ton. She was accompanied by Mr. Chap
man and on recall was favored with a
bouquet.
The gentlemen who sang last night re-
peated their successes of the other con-
certs, were recalled, and also favored with
floral tributes. Mr.. Meyn sang the
TorAador song even better than Eefore.
"Come Into the Garden Maud that de-
lightful old.Eohestnut, beautifully, and
Messrs. Fulton and Miles, Excelsior" as
takingly as before. Mr.. Gwilym Miles
sang the familiar "Two Grenadiers'
superbly, and was SO cheered and ap-
plauded that he kindly submitted to the
inevitable and sang the beautiful song
HIf We're Rose with great expression.
The numbers of the chorus that the
public especially went wild over were the
two beautiful songs OF Lassen's
Evening"" and "Only Thou" They
were SO delicately and skilfully shaded
and the compositions themselves are 80
popular in character that both were en-
cored and Mr.. Chapman kindly permitted
a repetition The "Battle Hymn by
Chapman, was grandly rendered by the
chorus, with solo by Mr.. Miles. It is
composition of sterling merit.
The orchestra played the beautiful
weird march from Rats "Ieonore''
with its striking effects, and the Hun
garian "Serenade' of Moszkowski's with
its fire and dash, excellently. The con-
cert closed amid great enthusiasm with a
splendid rendering of the ''Star Spangled
Banner"
During the intermission the chorus and
audience called vooiferously for Mrs W.
R. Chapman, and when the lady finally
appeared, magnificent basket of flow
ers was presented to her and another to
her talented husband.
