America, which opens up at City hall

its fairs and this year will be no ex-
ception. The members of the courts
are more enthusiastic than ever over
the success of the affair and have
been working for several months in
cooperation with the arrangement
committee. The courts have been as
signed TO different nights and on those
evenings will look after affairs An
entertainment which will not be too
lengthy, will be provided each even
ing. There will be plenty of time for
dancing, good music will be furnished,
and there will be numerous features
which will tend to add life to the

passed out to patrons each evening.

JACQUES
VAUDEVILLE.

Paul Conchas, the military Hercu-
les, has sensational finish to his act
when he catches number OF heavy
cannon balls on the back of his neck
after they have been shot out OF a
catapult. This Is only one of the many
daring features Of this wonderful SOL
dler's performance. He balances a
100 pound field cannon on his chin
after it has been raised in the air
by six men. This feat requires al
most superhuman strength but Con-
chas does 1t as easily as he juggles
a bit Of paper. Cannon balls, tor
pedoes and other heavy implements
he losses about, catches them on his
arms and back as if they were mere
steel and iron. Asides from Conchas'
daring feats, the work of his assist
ant is very amusing and he instills
enough comedy into the act TO make
it entertaining. "Chums" is delight
full sketch played by Miss Eva Taylor
Irene Tlmmons & Co. Few sketches
have so many humorous complications
as this playlet. There is general
mixup Of mistaken Identities and the
result is highly amusing. The piece
is very cleverly played. Tom Moore,
the coon shouter, has several new
songs, Mr. and Mrs Robyns present
their playlet, The Counsel for the De-
Tense" and there are several other
features on the bill. Polls popular

tette for Saturday Night.

Springfield, Jan 30.-Realizing that
in the Waterbury high school basketball
team Springfield is at last matched
against Il quintette worthy of its steel
Coach A. L. MetzdOrf spent more than
and hour yesterday afternoon round
ing the locals into shape for Saturday
night. BY using the second team
against the first Mr. Metzdorf discov-
cred the weak points in the play. The
second played fine ball and kept the
big team on edge throughout.
Wellesley high was originally book
ed for Saturday night, but this game
was cancelled and Waterbury was Sc
cured The latter team is considered
by many the fastest school organiza-
ton in Connecticut, having a long list
of victories TO its credit The fast
Middletown high school quintette is
numbered among its victims. So far
this season the local team has had no
great difficulty IN wrestling victories
from its visitors and much satlsfac-
ton is expressed among the students
because of the booking of the boys
from the Clock city.

BOB SMITH IS COMING

Bob Smith charms people-mov-

tertainer won all hearts.
Back to the old homestead he led
us-into the by-paths and wales of
the almost forgotten days; through
the village with An Old Sweetheart
of Mime we promenaded with Whit
comb Riley, and on to the station
where THE Train Comes In he con-
tinued to lead us, stopping now and
then to romp among the bluebells
and buttercups with dot Kid of
Mime or to exchange a happy word
with Mark Twain until we were
brought to the cotton fields and
"Marse john" where, hating for a
few moments in the shade of a sweet
magnolia, the gentle southern breezes
seemed to watt distinct echoes Of
Suwanee river as the delightful pro-
gram was concluded.
Every man, woman and child went
home feeling happier than when they
came, taking with them pleasant
memories that will live long after an
evening spent in such a delightful
manner.
Come again, Bob. Hang your hat
up; you're prince of entertainers,
and WE'LL be glad to meet YOU
