wealth. As a result the various mining
camps were settlements containing a
motley population, made up of the
weak and the strong, the worker, the
drone, and him who aided Chance with
his skill at cards--the gambler. Where
the community made and executed its
own laws and the habit of carving
weapons not infrequently brought tr;-
fling alterations to fatal endings, life
Was bound to have a dash of adventure
and uncertainty vouehsafed to an
existence in an older and more regu-
lated community.
The scenes of The Girl of the Golden
West are laid in just such a mining
camp, in the great Sierras. Numbered
among the inhabitants are three figures
silhouetted against the general human
background. They are Minnie Smith,
50 the girl, who owns and conducts the
Polka saloon, the rendezvous of miners;
Jack Rance, the gambler and sheriff of
Cloudy County, holding his office by
strength of character, superior intcli-
gence and absolute fearlessness, and
third, Ramerrez, the road agent, whose
highway robberies and theft Of the |
girl IS heart is the handspring of the |
plot of the play. The Girl Of the Gold |
an West is entirely the handiwork of |
David Belasco and that it is Of ex
merit the known skill of
he playwright and the fact that it
las remained in New York for twelve
consecutive months, attest.
1nasmuch as the production is con-;
erned The Girl of the Golden West is
n every way up to the 3elasco stand
nd. The Sierra Nevada mountains in
mid winter offer wide range of posi-
'ilities to a producer of such excep
ional accomplishments, and Mr.. Bel
SEQ has taken advantage of every
pportunity offered for the creation of
eautiful and impressive scenic effects.

bunch. The Newport aggregation is
| without doubt the fastest basketball
team playing the game in these parts.
The game Tuesday evening was fast
but would have been more interesting
had it been apparent at any time that
| the Brattleboro boys had show to win.
Boutwell, was back in the game for
the first time since his coasting acct
dent and showed that his injuries made
no difference in his playing. He shot
in good shape and tackled anyone of
the opposing team who had the ball
and was in all the team work of the
Athletics. Stafford played fast game
as did Long. Davey was somewhat
eclipsed by McGuiggan. Riley played
the giant Gion and stuck to him to the
finish. Each managed to cage one bas-
ket. Doyle was the star of the game
and made some shots which were
marvels. His back-h shots with
either hand were wonderful; his block
ing and passing were excellent but his
manner of disputing the referee showed
poor judgment. McGuiggan and Barra
clough played a good game.
The game went on for several minu-
ties after the start without a score
but then Barraclough shook the bunch
and dropped in pretty one from near
the basket. Boutwell, raised the crowd
by nice shot and then Doyle shot
four in succession, but Referee Howe
refused to allow one of the baskets to
count as it was shot from dribble.
Doyle sulked and played kid for a few
minutes and then the game was renew
ed. Stafford squeezed in one from the
floor before the half ended and the
whistle sounded with the score Is to 4 |
in favor of Newport The local boys |
put up gallant fight in the second
half and worked up to within seven
points of tie when Doyle went on the
again and shot three more III
quick succession. The game ended
without more scoring from either side.
