has the popular endorsement of press and
public of all the large cities; and no Won
der, for 7. W. Dinkins has presented this
popular attraction for the past three seasons

of the best burlesque organizations on the
road. The entertainment opens with the
funny farce, ''The Magic Hat fOrty-five
minutes OF spectacular comedy, presented
with beautiful scenic effects, with visions
of pretty girls and genuinely funny
comedians. The olio is an all star one and
favorites, such as Foley and Dale, come
dams with an Irish accent; The Garden
Trio, in laughter, song and dance; Black
ford and West, the "Girls in Red and
Louise Satour, the Southern nightingale
This is followed by an intensely funny bur-

is really of the farcical order and calls for
the strength of the entire company.
THE SWAN LAKE HEARING. Pursuant
to notice hearing was held at the Revere
House Tuesday afternoon before Fish Com
missioner Henry 0. Stanley on petition to
prohibit fishing through the ice in Swan
Lake and its tributaries for one year, and
to prohibit taking and keeping fish of any
kind less than - inches in length Forest
Commissioner Z. E. Ring was present, and
the hearing was attended by many of our
local fishermen and Mr. Clement of Sears
port, a veteran angler, who is said to know
Swan Lake better than any other man.
There was no one present from the resi-
dents about the lake, and though it was
said they we're to send in remOnstrance
none was received. The meeting was en-
tirely harmonious. 1t was first voted, unani-
mously, to prohibit the taking of trout less
than 10 inches and salmon less than IA
inches in length then to close the lake and
tributaries to fishing from the first of Octo-
Der until the ice goes cut in the spring.
While the matter will be submitted to the
full board of fish and game commissioners,
Commissioner Stanley said that as there
was no opposition it may be regarded as
practically settled Mr.. Stanley said he
thought the fishing in Swan Lake had i'm
proved very mu1 h, and he was glad to See
the interest shown in it. The question was
asked if the action taken with regard to the
lake would interfere with dipping smelts in
the spring, and the reply was that it would
not.
