Brewer, William Oakland, Thomas Holmes and a chorus of trained male voices. The fun will be supplied by the following popular minstrel com edians: Eddie Horan, Eddie Mazier. Emile Subers, James Corners and George Primrose. The second part contains long list of clever soft and wooden shoe dancers who will revive MT Primrose's silver shower" clog. which made the name of Primrose famous, also negro sketch wherein all the comedians take part. MT Primrose will be seen in new and original dancing number, entitled the Cotton Blossom Coons,' assist ed by score of soft shoe dancers. The fifth number of the second part will be big plantation act entitled Twilight on the Old Plantation" staged and produced by George Prim- rose, during which will be given all the old-time dances, songs, humor and pathos of the southern negro, and mammies, uncles, parson, dea- cons, field hands and servants from the surrounding plantations will take part in the festivities. The final number of the performance is the spectacular transformation entitled ''The Evolution of the Negro" which is said to be the most beautiful stage picture ever seen.

 The last offering of the summer stock company is being made at Poli's this week where Back Among the Old Folks" is holding the boards to the delight of all who like the hayseed drama. The piece has stereotyped story of an old farmer. near" bad son, sure" wicked city man, a bunch of bonds which gets stolen and the inevitable mort gage The city man swipes the pa pers, puts the crime on the farmers boy and almost gets away with the deal. The mortgage is lifted in the nick of time and the bad man gets his where it does the most good. Frank Wallace is typical rube easy mark and Daniel F. Lawlor shows remarkably good stuff as the city man with the hep" eye. He is aided in his "durty" work by Guy May nard whose makeup is startling replica of a denizen of Wedges cor ner. Helen Warde Is as usual the heroine and Jack Kennedy face tious auctioneer. The play will doubt less pack the house to suffocation all week on its merits as tear teaser, the admirable presentation it gets and the fact that there is a child, Baby Gladys, who does her bit well.

CHICAGO IN AQUATICS

According to the latest reports from
the west, Chicago is planning TO begin
rowing. The winners OF the football and
track athletic championships OF the Con-
ference association are branching out,
and they are becoming n little jealous OF
the attention that Wisconsins crew
draws. Therefore the Maro0ns have In
mind To go into the rowing business
themselves. The crews will row, accord
ing TO the report on the Jackson park la
goon. although this sheet of water will
not afford a very long stretch OF clear
going
The story has IL that a challenge has
been sent TO Wisconsin for a race to- bo
held at Chicago. The peculiar thing Is
that Chicago hae no one 10 show the stu
dents how 10 row and has no crew and
yet sends out a challenge. 1t Is consid-
cred a better policy to wait a couple OF
seasons to develop a rowing standard and
then 10 send out challenges, but they
do those things differently in the west

interest I'm this aquatic sport at the

MELODY WON

Honey" Melody, the Charlestown box
er. added another victory to his record
last night by knocking out Charley Nc
Keever OF Philadelphia I'm the 1lth round
OF their bout at the Lincoln club, Chelsea.
The bout was scheduled for Is rounds,
and while IL lasted IT was fast. II was
a case OF youth and strength having their
way, for II was apparent after Il couple
OF rounds that Melody was too strong
for the Philadelphia boxer All would
win.
McKeever surprised the fans by stay
ms as long as he did After the first
few rounds there were few among the
spectators who believed the bout would
go more than Ave or six rounds. Nc
Keever showed great gameness, and
though he was given an awful beating
about the body, he never showed a sign
OF fiinching. He boxed after tho style
OF the old English boxers. He has Il
good left hand. and can chop the tight
one on the jaw In good style. He also
showed good generalship and knew how
TO take advantage OF every opening. Al
though Melody was handed many a blow
on the face and body. he could have ay old

steam behind them. however and so nc

work separating the men The Pbiladel-
phia boxer always tried to sneak in a right
or left to the jaw on the break. Once
the referee received blows intended for
Mellrdy. The referee was pulling the
men apart when McKeever unintentionally
banged him on the head twice.
II was the body punching admInisterei
by Melody that weakened McKeever. ana
only his grand condition saved tho latter
from an earlier defeat.
Several times when II looked as II he
was all in. he came back and showed
flashes OF the fighting he hal done In
the earlier rounds.
Melody was also in good shape, and
locked strong az an OK.
