manager Il. Fl. Harvey has been very
fortunate IN securing G. Ernest Burton
to coach the team. Mr.. Burton gradu-
ated from Tufts college in the class of
1900 and he played his four years OF
| college on the varsity eleven. During
his four years he played on various ath-
let1c teams near Boston, and these with
his college football should make him
valuable man to coach the team. He
will arrive about September gath.
Manager Harvey has secured a large
number Of games to be played this ssa-
son. He has scheduled a game with
BoWdo1n on his home grounds, thing
that has never been accomplished before
but which should have been done a
number OF years ago as there is no rea-
son whatever why Bowdoin should not
play with the University of Maine on
the latter's grounds
Following is a complete schedule of
the games this year, 1t is quite probable
that two Of these games will be cancelled
owing to the finances of the association,
but 1t is hoped by the supporters of the

the performances Of Saturday afternoon

at both performances in spite of the fact

sic has been of the highest and best or
Ger. Saturday afternoon Mr.. Matus was
presented with a handsome bouquet of
flowers and at the evening performance
Mr.. Matus was also made the recipient
OF a handsome basket of flowers, which
he acknowledged very pleasantly. The
entertainments at the theatre this season
have been of an usually high order of ex-
ceIlence and as result the public pa
troDage has been liberal at the several
performances.
The business at The casino and cafe has
been equal to that of former seasons,
and now that the summer season has
ended, the genial manager of the casino,
Mr.. ID. b. Smith, and his able corps OF
