Benefit of the Football Team

worthy dame. He was white rooster of
pie bearing and naughty demeanor, and once
ne nad escaped the hand of Miss Pattern he
arose from the undignifed position that IS
the result or cruel custom, ani thereafter he
strutted back and forth until Watts the
stn English valet, was requested by the
property man" to recapture the invader
The task was not an easy one, and Watts
showed that he had had some training down
on the farm.' No member of the cast re-
ceived a greater ovation than did this rep
resentadve of the poultry market and he re-
ceived his applause with the ease of one
born, or Matched, to such things Even
hand suddenly stretched forth from behind
the rural scene in no wise ruffied his feath-
ers although he did step quickly out of the
way.
The occasion was the presentation of
programme and play by the Athletic asso-
citation of the Central high school, for the
benefit of the football team and gymnasium
The entertainment divided into two
parts. Principal Bryant opened the evening
with a short address, reciting the list of vic
tories of the football team and thanking the
audience for the excellent showing they had
made. All of the numbers were heartily ap-
plauded, but Charles Scarrett gained especial
favor by his performance ON the violin. The
soulful recitation by Miss Marguerite Nor
ton. Of "The Little Bugler," touched all her
hearers.

The acting In the two-act farce, which
hled the second part Of the evening, was
highly commendable and the troubles Of
Babburton, the typical, thick-headed English
the audience in roar most Of the time. He
was the one that was responsible for the
railroad. in it's efforts to lease another line,
kept stock ON the jump, and every member
OF the family was more or less interested
in the successful outcome Of the deal and
anxious for the first news of the happy event.
Babburton, the brother-in-law Of the presi-
dent of the B. B. & p, obtains, through
road that he can, including timetables old
reports, etc. And then, just before the cur
tain in the second act, he receives letter
that gives away the secret-that the deal
were weal chosen for their parts, and Miss
Marguerite Morton has trained them careful
iy. In fact, new constellation shone out
for q few minutes in amateur theatrical skies.
