"Piff Paff Pouf," Friday.

forgotten in Il season and some go on
making stage history until they are ac-
cepted as standard amusements. Such
an attraction is 3. c. Whitney'S

Since "Piff Paff Pouf'' was first pro-
duced at the Casino Theatre, New
York. three years ago, it has played
nearly all the important cities in the
country and some Of them twice. but in
every case the story is the same
success. 'Piff Paff Pouf' is headed
by Denman Maley as Peter Pouffie"

From present indications the horse
race on the Hallowell ice track which
is being planned for Thursday after
noon should prove one of the best Of
the winter. 1t has been decided TO
have free-for-all class which will
call out some of the best horses in the
three cities. and 1t is also probable
that there will be matched race be-
tween j. NJ. Nichols bay mare Bella
dona and Walter Webb's bay gelding
Hello Bill. These two horses are
among the fastest owned on the
kennebec river, and while they have
both been i'll races during the winter
they have never had it out on the ice
together. The race will be one we'll
worth seeing, and it is a matter of
much specula ton as to which horse
will be the winner.
