perfect shape for the accommodation
of its patrons in day or so. More
lights will be placed about the en-
trance. tonight, and the wOrkmen will
also nave many other things accom-
plished by that time.
The stage performance was first

mentioned a man drove up State street.
lie was driving big, rangy gray horse
and was riding in a Concord wagon,
having two little girls with him. At
about the same time he drove across
Grove street an automobile came up
the latter street and swung into State.
The horse became frightened and start
ed backing and rearing wildly. For a
moment it looked as if there would be
bad runaway, but the driver sue
ceeded in controlling the horse. One of
the little girls sprang out of the car
riage, while the other was lifted out by
an electric light line man who went to
the assistance of the man. 1t was a
most fortunate escape from serious
,, runaway.

these days when SO many young mef
