"THt HOLY CITY"

We are of the opinion that i'm "The
Holy City" our people have seen the
best play and the best acting ever
brought To Yale. 1t seemed pity that
the hall was not better filled on Tues
day evening although there was fair
sized crowd The intense heat of the
day probably kept many away. 1t was
certainly very warm for the audience
who could sit still and fan themselves;
the actors must have nearly smOthered.
The company is composed of twenty
five people and all are well fitted for
their work, those having the principal
parts doing especially good acting.
The company was somewhat handl-
capped by lack of space and conven-
fences here, but nevertheless the stag
ing, grouping, and scenery was present
ed remarkably well. The dramatic
character of the play calls for dramat-
ic acting and the very impressive scenes
in each act kept the audience in state
of thoroughly deep interest and the
powerful climaxes were looked upon
breathlessly.
This sacred story, telling as it does
of the birth of Christianity, the cruci-
tixion of Christ and the beheading of
John the Baptist, is of thrilling inter
est, and Clarence Bennett has so sue
cessfully dramatiZed it, that no mod
ern story has half the power to stir the
feelings as this narrative of old.

OPENING OF LADtS' FURNISHING STORE

The opening of the Ladies' Furnish
ing store conducted by Mrs. j. G.. HOl-
den and Mrs. Chas. Rounds and known
by the firm name of Holden & Rounds,
was an unqualified success. The large
crowd which visited the store on Satur-
day say SO and the firm also are well
pleased with their opening day. The
neat little building seems to be well
suited for the display and arrangement
of the class of goods which they carry.
The large front window is deep and
cOmmodiOus enough to make a hand
some showing of ladies' wear. The
appearance of it on Saturday elected
the admiration of all. Lattice work
with trailing wreaths of autumn leaves
formed pretty background while
punches of pink and yellow crab apples
with their green foliage were strewn
on the window floor. Inside beautiful
bouquets of dahlias, asters and golden
glow adorned the room. The show
cases were filled with all the latest lit
tie novelties in collars, belts, ETC., which
go to make up toilette. A very com
plete line of coats for ladies and chill
dren, skirts and waists, are neatly dis
played and the ladies find it a great
pleasure to show their nice new goods
and il is also a pleasure to look at
them, also to buy. This new business
venture in our town is sure to win as II
fills long felt want with the ladies,
and there will positively be no need at
all for any one to go out of the town to
buy these things, as Holden IL Rounds
will keep just what you want every
time

MORE RACING
PORT HURON WILL HAVE FOUR
MORE DAYS OF RACING
THIS YEAR.
Meeting Will Be Held Latter Part
of Septe m Der When the Best
Horses in Canada and the
United States Will
Compete.

Four more days of racing will bt
held i'm Port Huron the latter part OF
this month when purses in the sum OF
50, 200 will be distributed. The dates
for the last meeting are Sept. %, 26, q
and IS and they will mark the close OF
one of the most successful seasons in
the history of the Michigan short ship
circuit.
As Port Huron has the reputation OF
banner meetings the forthcoming races
do not require many advance press no
tices. Sufficient to say some of the
best horses in the business will be en-.
tered and the sport will be equally as
keen as the meeting last July.
1t will be sort of an international
race meet in view of the large number
of Canadian horses that will be entered
Some of the best trotters and PAGERS
across the border will compete and the
track record is apt 10 be smashed. See
retary Knill has stated that the meet
ing will in every way equal the one
held earlier in the season, when the as
sOciatiOn was greeted with bumper
crowds. Other cities may fail but Port
Huron is always in il when it comes to
harness racing.
