Within the vast darkened interior
Of the Auditorium multitude Of Chi

notes of the youthful prima donna.
Signorina Blanca Attelina, as. with
the glorious cace and brilliant colora-

aria, "Ah, fors' e luz CAh. Is 1t
He?"), in the first act Of La Travi-
alta"
Through the delightful and capti-
waiting cadence of the solo the Italian
songstress proceeded. and the huge
orchestra. directed by Pamela, the IA
vorite maestro of the Chicago opera,
provided just the p!aintive. old-time
strains that render the early Verdi
score so alluring to lovers of the by.

A gust of tone from the orchestra

prano's voice and finely sustained
finale. Then a moments pause. She

attorney for the steel plate interests.

belle, Miss Calhoun, she seemed al
most to address that last aria to you -
Young Terhune fidgeted nervously
in his chair, but laughingly met her
observation.
"Surest thing you know" was his
comment Il tell you frankly, Miss
Calhoun-er-Ruth. l cannot seem to
prevent it,
The entrance of Freddie Langham-
Wells, equally well known in Lakeside
society. who greeted Terhune coolly
and Miss Calhoun effusively, ended
their tete-a-tete. Percy arose and ex-
cused himself. while the young woman
entered upon an obviously forced con-
versation with the newcomer.
Once outside the Calhoun box,
Percy treaded the corridors. scarcely

According to the data of his balloon
flight made on July and 5. 1908, DR.
Frederick J. Fielding OF this city still
claims that he holds the distance rec.
ord of aerial navigation by means OF

the recent contest only covered $50
miles. while the Fielding-San Antonio
balloon travelled 795 miles. What il
more, DR.. Fielding remained in the air
but twenty-three hours and fifteen
minutes to cover this distance. while
forty hours was the time Of the St
Louis winner.
DR. Fielding does as yet not know
whether his record is officially con
sidered as having been broken. Should
this be the case he will issue q chal

Mr.. Domboy was left as a Hostae in
their Periauger and the Officer was
conducted ashore to the Governour
and he told his Honour, That he came
in the name of the King of France, his
Majesty. to summon him to surrender
the Town and Country and gave him
but an Hour to consider it.
The Governor answered that he
wanted not half Minute. for he knew
his Duty, and that the Queen of Great
Britain, having trusted him with the
Government of the Place, he would de-
fend it to the last Extremity. The
Officer offered to speak something
more, but the Governor interrupted
him and would not give him Liberty to
speak. commanding him to be gone.
He was conducted back to his Periau-
ger, and the Hostages being exchanged
he went back to his Ships. He told
me that their admiral was named Mon

Time upon James's Island about Al
Men. who were seen to go to one

The Governour ordered Immediately
