Sheridans Big City Sports Burlesquers, in
the shape of a basket ball contest, in which
the female members who are divided into
two teams, the Reds and the Blues, re-
spectively, participate, not only with grace
and Skill but with a rivalry and zeal that
make all their games as exciting as they
are attractive. Though they will make
their first appearance on any local stage,
the contestants have during the season
acquired much practice, and their contests
elsewhere have reused interest in sporting
circles and been the source of many rash
Wagers. So confident is the management
of their skill that it not only invites match
games with local teams, but offers a stand
Ing challenge of 500. AS provider of
burlesque the City Sports has record at
kernan's which it promises to fully sus
tain, and the burlettas possess all those
features that are calculated to please. An
other version of Mrs. Nations crusade is
said to be replete with laughable Incidents.

Kitty Harte, Kitty Miley and the Josseln
Trio.
