At the same time the city central

exceptions The onIytliberal7 commit

There is some speculation as to the
new. officers of the committee for 1905.
H G. Larimer is at 0Te-s0nt. chairman

There has been considerable rivalry
among the members of the Elks as to
who should be accorded the place Of
King of the Ceremonies. A ten round
race in which seven contestants were
entered, although but six of them
showed up at the scratch, was decided
upon as the only fair means Of settling
the dispute. The contestants were Hal
Norton, whose figure was much rein
forced with bed furnishings. as
Dutchman; John Waters, with red
wig, cigarette and other fixings as
Lord F'auntleroy; David Lakin, as an
individual dressed in Immaculate linen;
Lester Davis. Hugh Davidson and last,
but not least, L. D. Mclean, who has
had medals hung all over him in his
native heath in Utah as a skater
Champion
As was the case in the fable of the
hare and the tortoise the prize was
awarded to the homeliest and the slow
est of the bunch, Johnnie Waters, al
though he cut corners in a scandalous
manner and fouled at every opportuli-
ty. While the base drummer played a
| two step he was escorted to the center
Of the room by one Of the many mas
tiers Of ceremony. AS he made his pref
test bow and seated himself on his
throne the affair which proved to be a
collapsable chair loaded with dynamite
exploded and Johnnie Waters sought
refuge with the ladies in the balcony.
The orange race provided proba ply
more amusement than any one feature
of the evening. This was open to the
world and about one hundred entries
were made. The prize consisted of q
box of 200 oranges placed at the op-
posite end Of the rink. At a given sig
nal the contestants started and wild
nfxup at the other end of the hall re-
/ sembIfng q scrimmage at football was
the result. Tt was a noticeable fact
that most Of the oranges were carried
Off by the small urchins who seemed to
come from everywhere when the race
was announced.

by the appearance of "Chief of Police
Goodwin" in the full uniform of the
head Of the city police force. It had
all been arranged that as he made his
grand entree that Marshall's band
should start up Hail to the Chief.
Owing to the fact that the mayor Of
the city had appointed another chief
Of police and that the former head of
the force had hied himself henceward
this portion Of the ceremony was
abandoned. Chief Of Police Tim DON
ovan was reached by telephone but his
natural modesty prevented him ac-
cepting the honor.

started promptly at s o'clock rain or

statements are made got away an even
hour later and for another hour

the music Of the band.
The grand march in which %
couples were entered was led by Milton
Gill and Miss Gertrude Van Laeys and
was really the interesting affair OF the
evening for a majority of the couples
were exceptionally fine skaters. A
dozen couples tried for the prize for
fancy skaters which was an immense

After Elias Day, at the Auditorium
last night, had recited the Kipling
poem about the battery horse and the
battery driver, both OF which fell
with their 'eads between their 'eels,
the audience was his When Mrs Day
added "Jimmy's First Love- a motion
to have them put on an endless pro-
gramme would have carried before
that audience with the noise of hall
storm on a tin roof.
Platform entertainers with more
press agent eclat, with long advance
stories of what they did here and
what they did there. with lots of print
ed fuss and feathers, may have struck
Topeka in days gone by, but none with
more ability than Mr. and Mrs. Day,
none with more real genuine entertain
ing genius. Most of their programme
evoked fun and laughter. but here and
there, just in the most unexpected
spots, entered a touch of sorrow, bit
of wagering shadow
Mr.. Day opened the programme
with a little talk on the art of story
telling, a sort of illustrated" talk He
ran in list of stories to point out his
argument

that the majority of the American

Day then recited the screw gun

It gave a chance however for both OF
the entertainers to show what they can
do in comedy. Mrs. Day. a beautifuI
woman, with very clear, musical
voice, knows how to play the part of
senaihysterical woman. And she is one
of the few performers who know the
dividing line between natura1ness and
OVERRIDING. This Is what makes her
work particularly satisfying.

At the conclusion of the races the
floor was turned over to the skaters
and for an hour was a seething mass of
irnpenetrab1e humanity save for a
shrek which now and then emanated
from the center of a bunch of strug-
Cling beings. There were a number of
bad spills and a. time or two it appear

count.
Colonel James Chappelle probably

floor. but was protected from mob

in view Of the fact that he wears an
artificial leg should have been entitled
to a prize. AS far as gracefulness was
concerned 1t put to shame the efforts
Of a majority of the skaters who were
using natures means Of locomotiOn.
The crowd which watched the cavort-
ings Of the Elks and listened to the music
Of Marshalfs band was probably the
largest which has ever gathered at the
rink. There were probably four hun
dred skaters on the floor and as many
more spectators in the balcony Two
rows of chairs which had been ar
ranged around the balcony were oecu-
pied by society's offerings. as well as
some others, and back OF these stood
several rows of spectators who were
compelled to crane their necks to now
and then get GLIMPSE of the skaters.
From a financial standpoint the af-
fair was a bowling success as the EllSs'
benefit fund which will be used to de-
fray the expenses of the Topeka lodge
of Elks to Denver viii probably amount
to $3.50.
