from the railway station and con-
tanning at it does some 200 acres and
5000 apple trees.
A Monmouth man who claims to
know it for certain, says that the Day

church he denied absolutely that the
working men were drifting away from
the church. A
The speaker said that the open shop
was the best thing in the world for the
man who wanted to coin into gold the

prevailed.
After another selection by the Alma
XII Quartet brief speeches were made
by Secretary John J. Connolly of Ban
gor and James A. O'Rourke of Port
land in regard to the work before the
delegates upon their return home.
Secretary Connolly in the course of

AmuSementS
"PoIIv of the Circus"

Rarely do plays please as did Polly
of the Circus last night. A play that
j., distinctly different, that has some
real merit in its composition and is
from the first lifting of the curtain
and not until the bell for the final close
1ane did the audience take its atten-
ton from the plot and the actors. 1t is
a highly interesting and captivating
rCmance of little circus rider and a
minister, and it forms one of the most
pleasing and entertaining plays of the
season
The story of the play is rather novel
and it has that which holds the heart
strings and invites even jaded taste to
a simple revel in romance. 1t is play
that one can see and go away happy
with laughter and with tears. It's little
story is we'll told and beautifully
framed.
The scenic production is far above
the average. Circus tents, clowns, ac-
robats. performers, church, everything
is good, and. the climax of the scenic
effects. when in the last act the circus
is seen winding it's way through the
hills, is one of the best that has ever
been seen here.
Ida ST. Leon, as Polly" is all that
could be desired. She is good, mighty
good She is perfectly adapted to the
bart and there is no bit of it she does
/ ct take we'll Her tight wire stunt
IS as clever as seen on any vaudeVlie
stage and her bareback act IS quite
as good Interpreting the part of Pol
w.. she is winsome and captivating.
Earl Ryder playing opposite her as the
minister. is strong and takes his part
in an able manner. The rest Of the
cast is well balanced and thoroughly
up to their parts.
Everyone who saw the play last
night has nothing but good words for
il today, and the prospects of filled
house tonight are excellent. 1t is play
worth while.
