Things Theatrical
IRA.

BY her performance of "zira" at
the Academy last night, Miss Mabel
Montgomery has firmly established
herself in the estimation of Richmond
theatergoers. AS Zira she had al
ready made a most favorable impress
sion, and. therefore, much was ex-
pected of her. That these expecta-
tons were fully realized, was amply
shown in the enthusiastic manner in
which the audience received Miss
Montgomery's portrayal of the title
role of the play. At the end of the
second act there were no less than
six curtain calls, and Miss Montgom-
cry was finally compelled to crafty
the evident wish of the audience by
expressing In words her appreciation
of this demonstration. This she did
most modestly and becomingly, and
the audience witnessed the further
unusual spectacle of speech" be-
fore the curtain by woman. But

ordered moved to Collins, this order
being sanctioned by the electors Of

upon the $4,000 buildings heretofore

GOLFER TRAVERS
HAS A CLOSE CALL

MORR1STOWN. n. J., September 90
George I. Brokaw was put out on the
teWntieth hole yesterday afternoon in the
first round of match play in the Morris
County Golf Clubs annual tournament, and
Jerome d. Travers national and metropol-
itan champion, won only on the second ex-
ira hole by the skin of his teeth. While no
there were plenty of surprises throughout
the day, such as in the qualifying round
where the last man in, w. d. Nanderpool,
won the low score prize. There were fifty
three starters out of seventy-seven entries,
and no field of the size this season has been
so classy. for in addition to Travers it con-
tanned Fndlay Douglas, eX-national and
metropolitan titeholder; George Brokaw,
former Princeton champion: Dwight Part
ridge former interscholastic rtleholder, and
Robert Abbott. ex-collegiate champion.
Hitchcock and Knapp had not been seen In
the tournament field for years, and Part
ridge only once before this season.
The course was soft from Tuesdays heavy
rain, that the qualifying scores were
higher than expected.
Travers close call in the afternoon was
due to overconfidence. Young Uptons star
is in the ascendant and he lost only on the
twentieth hole by OVERLAPPING the hole in
his nervousness, and Swords. who beat
George Brokaw. was three years ago called
the golfng microbe. Brokaw lost after be
ing dormie one. Douglas had everything
his own way with Vanderpool, although the
former was six strokes higher in the quail
fyng round.

PARIS. September 20.-During the grand
army maneuvers last year a limited at
tempt was made to use automobile drays to
supply the troops with water. This proved
so successful that this year the experiment
has been extended and heavy motors have
been depended upon solely to supply the
18th Army Corps with provisions. Forty
cars. weighing between two and three tons,
and with a capacity OF from two to two and
half tons. have been used. the weight of
the cars and the loads being limited by the
bridges over which they were required 10
PASS The average rate OF progress has
been from seven to nine miles an hour. One
car covered 1856 miles in twenty-four hours.
They brought supplies from Bordeaux 10

were forwarded to the camp. The expert
ment has given great satisfaction, the cars
having proved entirely trustworthy

than that of the jumper and guimpe as it
is not only practical and youthful but i'm
mensely becoming. The model sketched is
one OF excellent style. the neck line being
deep and tapering, while the Mandarin
sleeves are quaint and graceful. Tucks at
the shoulder provide a pretty fullness for
the front and conceal the joining of the
sleeve. The guimpe may be of any sheer
washing fabric and tucked inset with
lace, desired. The skirt is sde-plaited
and ripples prettiy at the hem. This, to-
gether with the jumper, may be OF
