From the Detroit Free Press. Dec. 10
Never was there a greater act fits kind
in detroit than the Kilties Band, the
Gordon Highlanders, Canada's famous
band. which opened a weeks engage
ment at the Temple theater yesterday
Though outside the chill winds frae the
north did blaw an sugh.' the Kilties
with their barred knees cared not, and
they did play, and they did sing and
rock the echoes of the Temple theater
as they have never rocked. and stirred
the audiences to depths of musical en-
joyment as audiences are seldom stirred.
The playing of the band was of the
kind which makes a man use that de-
scriptive OF all descriptive words-great.
The reception which was accorded the
forty men in kits. led by William f.
Robinson, was the strongest which has
been seen in the Temple since its open
ing. The work or the band fully justified
its claim TO being the finest act on the
stage. and all lovers OF music cannot fail
to appreciate il.
Not only does the band play in an in
spring way American. Scotch and other
national music, but in its ranks is large
chorus every man OF which is a singer
lhey sing Scotch airs without accompa-
nis-.-=; and beauty OF their work is
their enunciation. Seldom in chorus is
the tenor so beautifully and perfectly de-
fined or so sweetly blended as in this.
With the band is a tenor soloist. J. Coates
Lockhart, who sings the familiar Loeb
Lomond' with feeling which is moving.
His voice. while TO; exceptionally strong.

TWO MARRIED MEN.

One of the successes on the road last
season was Two Married Men, which
is booked to appear at the Crawford
soon. 1t has been called by the dra-
matte critics of the larger cities the best
farce that was ever written, and so
Two Married Men will probably be the
best entertainment that will be provided
by the local management this winter 1t
is filled with speci.tlties by high salaried
artists, and to miss Two Married Men
is to miss the best laugh of the season.

OAHU INTER-ISLAND POLO
TEAM FINALLY IS CHOSEN
Committee Rates and Places All the Players
and Many Changes Are the
Result

After careful consideration of all the
records the committee named by the
directors of the Polo Club yesterday
fixed upon the ratings of the men and
chose finally the team which is to rep
resent the club in any inter-island
games which may be played. This team
is made up of the best individual play
ers, and they will at once begin prac-
tice with the others so that team play
may be perfected.
The committee. which was made up
of w. F. Dillingham;, captain, and c.
S Dole, had before it a hard task, for
of the sixteen players who We're to be
placed, there had to be chosen four
who were the very best in their posi-
tions. For each place there were four
candidates and the selections were
made upon the basis of the perform
ances in the various positions in the
games during the fall. This meant
following of the play and the methods
of the various men who have been in
the series of games The result has been
the selection of the first team, so that
it contains the very best men for the
positions to which they are assigned.
The new arrangements of players
will show many changes. There will be
seen several men who have played at
No. l who are now in the ranks, while
some of the most dashing players of
the past have been completely altered
in position. This is due to a judgment
as to form and it is hoped by the
changes to make a series of teams
which will put up some fine polo as
soon as there is developed close team
play The alterations will, ii is ex-
pected, bring out some great changes
in playing form, and it will be no sur
prise to the captain if very soon 1t is
found that there will have to be
changes in top teams to provide for
promotions from the others.
The team which is to be known as
the No. l, is not necessarily the one
which is to play against Maui, for in
the event of any member of it failing
to show form or any man of another
team developing higher qualities, the
places will be changed. This will give
to the subsequent play a matter of
higher class play, for there will be a
purpose in the games and a high order
