: IN STRAIGHT HEATS
Baces at Matinee at Balm Track Run Off
in Straight Heats With Small Crowd


The Kenosha horses had another
rial Of their speed at the Balm track
3n Thursday afternoon when matinee
vas given under the auspices of the
Kenosha Gentlemen's Driving Club.
There were a lot Of attractions at Ra-
cine and the free train to the Taft
meeting drew u large crowd of the peo,
pie who usually attended the matinees
and as a result the crowd out at the
track was small one. The recent
rain while hardly sufficient to save the
crops was sufficient TO make the track
decidedly heavy and the time was
slower than at former meets. There
were three races during the afternoon
and all Of them went IL straight heats.
The summary of the races follow:

The NatiOnaI-.The Geisha. .


A large audience az the New National
Theater last night witnessed the initial
performance OF "The Geisha," the musi-
cal play for which the Aborn patrons
have been waiting with so much interest
The Japanese atmosphere Of this queen
Of English musical comedies furnished the
opportunity for decking the lobby of the
house with colored lanterns and stream
ers. giving festive and very attractive
appearance TO the theater.
THE Geisha' is another Of those favor
ties Of a decade ago. the revivals Of which
arouse a host OF pleasant "reminiscences.
and of all the entertainments OF the class
which our cousins across the sea have
sent to our shores this is probably the
one to be remembered longest, on account
Of the quality of the music and the gen.
eral excellence OF the book and the
dainty. whimsical. almost GiIbertian Tyr
les.
/ Nearly ever number sung is a gem of
the first water. and none passed last
night unapplauded or unencored. Among
the songs and chOruses best liked may be
recalled ''The Jewel Of Asia" Jacks the
Boy The Interfering Parrot" The
AmorOus Goldfish" "A Geisha's Life, -
Pearl Of the Eastern Sea" "Chon-kina.
ChOn-kina," Chin Chin, Chinaman." and
"All the Dear Old Toys'-au Of a special
degree Of charm and quaintness seldom
encountered in musical comedy.

so free from self-consciousness that il

ton. who sang Dorothy Stanley last week,
appeared as o Mimosa San, and In spite
OF the handicap OF having TO sing the
most difficult music Of the score, made a
most pleasing impression. That her songs
were well sung was shown by the enthu-
siasm Of the audience.
