The coming pool match between Frank

De Orc, to be played in Odd Fellows
Hall next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs

attention and interest among followers of
the game. Sherman and De Orc have been
in daily practice for the past week and
both are in fine condition for a brilliant
contest. The forfeit money has been
posted and what wagers have been made
were at evens. De Orc has always been
considered the better player, but the al
most phenomenal improvement of Sher-
man has caused the latter's friends to be
confident. Ormond Butler, the theatrical

the new saddle claims that 1t automatically
changes the riders weight from front to
rear, and vice versa, giving all the advan-
tage OF the American style of riding.
