FLoRopoRA IN BRATTLEBOR0,
Largest Audience of the Season Greets This
Popular Opera Presented by Competent
Company minently Successful Scheme OF
Manager Fox.

"Florodora" with all its beauty and
tlnefulness appeared in Brattlehoro
for the first time Wednesday evening
and was greeted by the largest audi
ence which has gathered in the Audi
forum this wear. Without doubt there
were not a half-doZen people IN the au-
dienrp who were not familiar with
Greater part of the music of the opera,
but to have it given connectedlY ana
with all the original surroundings was
new TO almost everybody. The plot OF
the opera is not of sufficient lmpor-
lance to need mention, and the songs
with few exceptions are almost a we'll
known as Home Sweet Home. To
the average lover of comic opera To-
rodoran does not appear remarkable
creation and its unprecedented popu-
larity in New York and London seems
uneyplainable. Its success is undoubt-
edlv due to a few Of the musical num-
beers. the principal among these being
Tell Me Pretty Maiden, which was
the hit of the evening here.
The company itself was satisfactory
with one or two exceptions and por-
trayed the piece to the best advantage
T. A. Wallerstedt as Frank Abercoed
was the best singer among the male
members. and his solo, Under the
Shade of the Palms was feellngiiy
rendered Madeline MattoX as Lady
Holvrood was the most finished ac-
tress while Marion Field as Dolores
had the most musical voice of the fem
mines. Eugene Field sang and acted
the part of Angela Gilfain we'll and
possessed the clearest enumeration OF
anyone. Charles Deland in the role OF
Anthony Tweedlepunch furnished the
fun but his comedy was trltte over
done. Karl Stall was not success as
CYRUS Gilfain. The chorus was well
trained but the volume of its music
was not quite in keeping with ITS size.
The success of the evening was que
in large measure to the local orches-
ira enforced by several out of town
musicians and also to Manager Fox,
who hit upon a novel plan to while
away the long wait between the acts.
Festival hall embellished with hand
some decorations, was thrown open &c
the public and the First Regiment
band gave promenade concert OF
about 20 minutes duration. Fully
half the audience took advantage o1
this opportunity to get rid of the klnk:
in its knees, and over 100 couples troc
the light fantastic during the inter
mission. a bell announced the begin
ming of the second act. which was
doubly enjoyed on account OF the
pleasurable recess. The idea canno
help meeting with approval and VII

Amherst to "Aggie.
An invitation is extended to the ex-
members of the class of 1904 to be pres
ent at the junior social to be held IN
the High school laboratory tonight.
Somebody has spoken about build,
ing a china closet for stray pieces o!i
china that appear around the main
room and are in danger of being
walked on.
The difficulties in arranging the Jun
ior-senior foot ball game seem to be
great, so great that we will not take
the responsibility of naming the date
it will be played.
The class basket ball teams have
each been assigned a day for practice
which is held in the Retreat gymna-
stun. Enough interest in it should be
taken by the candidates to show up al
practice.

THE HARDEST GAME YET.
LIGHT TEAM FROM FITCHBURG MAKES
LOCAL ELEVEN PLAY FAST FOOT BALL

Although Beaten 22-0, the Visitors Played
Speedily and Several Times Put Brattleboro
nm the defensive Home Team Secured Most
of Its Gains on End Runs, Being unablet TO
Puncture the Center More Than OCCASIONALLY
The Brattleboro foot ball team played
its third game of the season SATURDAY
With the eleven from the Fitchburg
athletic club and ran its total score lof
the wear up to 10 points without pelne
scored upon. The game was the nara
est which has been played IN town TINS
season. and although beaten 80 the
Fitchburg boys played the fastest KIND
of foot ball gaining their distance ire
ouentlv and several times holding the
home team for downs. Brattleboro was
able by means of good interference 10
circle Fitchburg' ends for long gains
but il was a different proposition "neh
the backs tried to buck the line. Inc
Fitchburg line men although lghter
than their opponents knew enough TO
nlay low on the defensive and stopped
nearly every line play before any great
distance had been made.
The Massachusetts boys gave goou
example of pluck and perseverance IN
the manner they fought every yard OF
ground Every tackle they made was
hard and low. in fact much harder ana
lower than those made by the nome
team, and Brattleboro was never sure
of a touchdown until the ball was over
the goal line. In the first of the game
the home team lost possession OF the
/ ball on its two yard line by not gam
ing the necessary five yards, and there
we're other occasions when the visitors
hrared remarkably. On the offensive
the Fitchburgs' backs were speedy and
made several good gains around the
ends. Even Brattleboro's heavy line
was torn open once or twice while thee
visitors mass play on tackle netteu

The game gave the Brattleboro team

The duties of their positions when on
the offensive. More than once the
backs failed to gain simply because
their own men were IN the way.
There was a large crowd on hand to
see the game although the weather
was too warm to allow fast play. Fitch

start, Stolte catching the ball. Two
unsuccessful attempts to penetrate the
