Do You Know the Name of the Gov.
ernor2

1t is not probable, of course, but it
is possible that the first man you may
meet on the street could not tell you
the name of the governor.
But do you imagine that it is pos
sible that the next two men you met
could not tell you?
SO it is possible, although not prob
able, that one insertion of want ad.
may fail to sell or to secure what you
offer or seek.
But, in the case of any reasonable
want or quest, 1t is hard indeed to
imagine that second or third publ
cation or repetition of the ad. could
possibly fail to bring results.

WITH THE SPORTS.

The six day" race at the Salt Pal
ace track-which in reality is six
hour race-has been source of ell
joyment to the cycle fans this week.
The race will end tonight, when the
big coin will be distributed to the
lucky ones. The fact that prizes are
paid for the winner of each mile and
the five, ten and fifteen mile mark has
made the race far from a slow one,
as it is necessary to start a sprint
about every six laps in order to stand
a chance on the bell lap. The first
night the bunch finished even, hav-
ing ridden IS miles, but four laps be-
hind the track record. The big race
is preceded by short program of
sprint races, which have proven very
interesting. The largest crowd of the
week is expected tonight.

and naturally put the old fellow out
of the running. Reports say he was
advised to call off the match, but he
feared he would be dubbed a gutter
so he determined to go through with
it. Fitz never stood a ghost of a

been in the pink of condition that his

Who has not had the delightful ex.
perience of sitting in the long winter
evenings by cozy Preside, after the
days cares are over, and becoming
so thoroughly interested in a good
clean story that we seem to live with
the characters? We laugh with them
in their happy moments and cannot
keep back the tears, do not even try,
in their moments of sorrow, and in
fact lose ourselves entirely for the
time being. This same experience
may be yours should you be fortunate
enough to attend performance of
"The Prince Chap" at the Salt Lake
theatre, where, although it is not
winter time, the historic old house is
as cool as one could ask for at this
time of year, and Cyril Scott and his
excellent company are presenting a
play that is clean, pure and whole
someone that can not fail to ap
peal to your better thoughts and ideals
and leave you with better opinion
of this old work-a-day world
There is laughter in plenty, and
then there are times when you can
not keep the tears from your eyes
unless you be too cross-grained and
cynical for tears-and the story holds
your interest from the opening words
until the final curtain. Mr.. Scott is
an actor of the painstaking kind, who
leaves SPLENDID impression with
his audience, and made captives of
Salt Lakers at once, being given a
curtain call at the opening perform
ance Thursday night, when he re-
sponded in neat little talk in which
he expressed his thanks for the re-
ception accorded him and his COM
pany. The entire company is of the
best material in the actor world, the
work of Miss Mary Keogh as Puck
ers, Cecil de Mile as the Earl of
Huntington, and Charles B. Wells as
Runion being equally in line with that
of the star. AS Claudia, the orphan,
in the three different stages of her de-
velopment, Misses Beryl and Helen
Pullman and Miss Gladys Wharton
each did excellent work, each SEEM
ing to fit in just as though they we're
born for the part.
"The Prince Chap" has had long
and successful run in London, New
York, Paris and Berlin, but Mr..
Scott made jump of 1000 miles to
open his present season in Salt Lake
City. You will certainly be missing
the chance of lifetime if you do not
see "The Prince Chap" The last
performance will be tonight.
