BAYFIELD,

From thu Press:

One of the quitcst but most pleas

years, passed off without a mishap
last Saturday. and once more has

Ryder very ably read the Declaration
of Independence. These having
once started the ball rolling, the
rest of the program was carried out
with neatness and dispatch. The
sports and races attracted the atten-
ton of the large crowds, perhaps
the most amusing among these being
the penny grabbing contest and to
see the youngsters diving into the

the winners of the many contests al
though we would like to do so. The
morning events over the people par

their vocal organs preparatory to
roofing for their favorites at the ball
park, the game being between Wash
burn and Bapfield. A very large
crowd was in attendance at the game
and were not disappointed in the ex-
pectation of seeing clean, snappy
and fast game. Both teams were in
pretty good shape, although speak

largest crowds that ever gathered on

Here Prof. George Glazier and his
mates, Geisert and Veno, gave an
excellent series of stunts which
brought forth much applause. At
the close of this exhibition Prof.
Glazier made the cable slide, en-

was very spectacular. 1t might be

Woman. Club Reception.

Last Friday evening the Woman's
Club entertained their husbands at
the home of Mrs. Rufus Phillips.
Punch was served in the library,
which was beautifully decorated
with spring blossoms, after which
the gentlemen found their partners
by selecting lovely hand painted
miniatures of the respective ladies
adorned with nes Easter bonnet.
When all were seated at the large
tables in the dining room the presi-
dent, Mrs Talliaferro. welcomed the
guests in her usual gracious manner
A most substantial and appetizing

The Misses Mary and Hester Rob-

the president with S225 in gold from

ing. April 2lst. in ''Zira." the work
of Henry Miller and J Hartley Man
ners. being new adoption and re-
construction of the famous novel
The New Magdalen." BY Wilkie
. Collins. The theme of the story and
I the play is the interest that revolves
about case of false impersonation
under remarkable circumstances.
I In this new version, Zira. the
character Of the fraudulent heroine.
will be assumed by Miss Roberts.
As Red Cross nurse in South Africa
during the Boer war she encounters
a young Englishwoman who is re-
turning home to England to join her
relatives she has never seen. 1t is
revealed that this young woman is
the bosom friend of the woman who
has caused Hester to be disgraced,
and she threatens still further ex-
pcsure. A shell explodes. and the
young woman. Ruth Wilding by
name. is wounded and apparently
killed. Hester quickly changes
clothes with her, and appropriates
her papers, money and identity.
For time the deception is sue
cessful and Hester tastes the pleas
ure of wealth and position in Lon
don; but, of course. the woman
whom she is impersonating is not
dead, although she has been deprived
of her memory. The two women,
however. meet face to face, and the
shock Of the meeting restores the
woman's mental faculties. She ac-
cuses her impersonator, and is met
first with supplication and pleading,
and then with defiance. In the end,
Hester. after a fierce internal strug-
gle. makes what reparation she can
by a confession and restoration. and
is rewarded by a love which COM
pensates her for all her sufferings.

Miss Helen McNeen graduated
from the school of music of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, at Lincoln, last
Friday. One of tine local papers of
that city gives Miss McNeen's re-
cital very complimentary notice
which reads as follows:

Neen Of the piano class of Robert
W. Stevens being the performer.
Miss McNeen displayed marked in
dividuality in her style. as well as
musical feeling and beauty of tone.
She warmed to her work as she pro-
gressed and was at her best in the
closing number. The Raft concer-
to. with which the programme open
ed, was satisfactory performance
technically, but lacked the freedom
and abandon which are Miss Nc
Mems most charming qualities and
which made the Nicode tarantelle
which closed the recital thoroughly
fascinating. This number was TAX
en- at high tempo and was played
with exceptional lightness and deli
cacy. That Miss McNeen also has q
deep poetic vein was made apparent
by the Schumann romanza and the
Schubert-Liszt 'Du dist dies Ruh' :
The numbers were as follows:
Raft Concerto. op 1876; Allegro;
Andante quasi larghetto. (Orches-
tral parts on second piano.)
Bach -Bourree. A minor; from

MOVEMENT TO ERECT
STATUE OF HAMILTON

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Parks and
public spaces in washington are 1alrly
Uttered with bronze statues ana memo
rails of statesmen and heroes more or
less great. Among all these there IS
no memorial to commemorate the SER
vices rendered to the United states py
Alexander Hamilton. To atone for
this neglect the Alexander Hamilton
National Memorial association has been
formed, and is seeking to raise FUNDS
to erect an adequate figure in marble
or bronze. The trustees of the assocla-
tion will meet to consider the objects or
the organization and to lay out plan
of work. Addresses will be made by
Justices Harlan and Brewer OF the
United States supreme court, Senators
Beveridge and Brown, Representative
Bourke Cochran and others.
On the board of trustees or the asso-
citation, of which Justice Harlin is pres
ident, are such men as Secretary Cor
telyou, Senator Lodge, Admiral Dewey,
Joseph H. Choate, Andrew d. White,
DR.. Daniel c. Gilman, Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton, Gen. Horace Porter, Judge
John f. Dillon, Frank A. Vanderlip.
DR.. Henry S. Pritchett and other men
of consequence in their communities.
The movement has been on foot for
about two years, but the condition of
the treasury of the association at the
present time Is in the same condition
that the treasury of the United States
was when Hamilton was inducted into
office; with this exception, that he found

scores of obligations awaiting him,
while the Memorial association starts
with clean hands.
The latest meeting of the board OF
trustees was held February 12, Lin
coins birthday, when Senator Lodge
and James Bryce, the British ambassa-
dor, made addresses which have given
the movement a strong impulse for
ward. Franklin w. Collins, secretary
of the Memorial association, said
''It is peculiarly fitting that the
Evening Post should take great inter-
est in this project. We are just be-
ginning to send out our appeals for
aid, and believe that the response will
be generous and that the friends of
Hamilton will be gladdened ere long
by the sight of a magnificent memorial
to him. which it is thought especially
desirable to place on the esplanade In
front of the treasury department, look
ing down Pennsylvania avenue toward
the capitol This is one of the best
and most appropriate sites remaining
available in Washington, and it Is be-
lieved that an adequate memorial to
Hamilton may be secured at a total
expenditure of 100000. None but the
finest designs, materials and work
manship will be permitted to enter into
the structure"
