In the part OF prophecies, taken
by Miss Dora King, many pleasing
comments were heard during the
performance for the splendid manner
in which she did her work. Her
pleasing solos were among the even-
inx's greatest pleasures.
In the characters Of the Scribe,
represented by Carl Soil, Herald,
Octave Seavoy, Begger, Cbas. J..
Brink, and High Priest, Nelson
Crebassa, a splendid representation
OF each was given, and their song
numbers were worthy of the splen-
did recognition given ly the audi
fence.
In the ensemble. introducing the
various attendants, guards, pages,
Jews, Persians, flower girls, etc..
pleasing choruses were rendered,
likewise pretty drills and marches,
all of which brought forth round
after round Of applause for the par
ticipants.
The costumes used in the produc-
ton OF the cantata were the pref
tiest seen here in many days, while
nothing apparently was lacking in
the stage settings.
Unstinted praise is once more due
our estimable townswoman, Mrs. J..
B. Smith, for the splendid manner
in which she presided at the piano
throughout the entire performance.
Her worth as an accompanist is de-
serving of the highest commenda-
tion.
At the conclusion OF the perform
ance the management decided that it
would be advisable, after SO many
weeks of labor, to present the at
traction once more, and therefore
has announced that the cantata
would be repeated again tonight.
For the benefit OF those who may
wish to familiarize themselves with

Mr.. Thomas and his JeiTersonville

the Italian Athletic club yesterday at

eight to seven The game was close and
interesting throughout and in the last
inning was even exciting. The Jener-

In the ninth, the Italians started out
to win the game and should have az

by the pitcher and Comolli followed with

And here was one OF the features Of the
game, which was Comolli's slide to third.

all thoughtful persons have observed.
But also they demonstrate the reason
which Is, shortly, that the blond are con.
