A BIG SUCCESS.

"Jayville Junction" given by home
talent at the Lyric last Friday even
ing was a decided success. The
troupe of nearly forty members were
drilled by Miss Marie Anton, and all
played their parts well.
The title suggests a comedy-the
play does more, it makes the audi
ence roar. 1t is replete with comic
situations. All the gawky, silly thing
of Jaytown are certainly embodied in
the play, with costumes adding the
finishing touches.
Lack of space forbids mention of
individuals and acts, but those who
missed 1t. have reason for regret.
This entertainment was given for
the benefit of the Presbyterian church
and gross receipts amounted to
s114s0.

Family Reunion Held at the

DINNER SERVED ON LAWN
Members of Howard Stratton-Lyons
Clan Gather at Howard Farm
For Annual Dinner

The members of the Howard,
Stratton and Lyons families neld the
annual reunion, according to custom
in recent years. at the Jared Howard
homestead a short distance south of
the village on Sunday. Including the
children there were over a hundred
persons present and the occasion af-
forded pleasant opportunity to re
call incidents of long ago and to re-
new family ties and acquaintance
ships
The real feature of the day was the
dinner served on the lawn in front of
the house. The young men and
young women present officiating as
walters and the spread proved
that cooking was far from being a
lost art among the women of the pres
ent generation among the three fam
lilies represented at the reunion.
There was four times as much to eat
as could be disposed of and there
were more different kinds of cake on
the tables than could be seen at an
country fair.
The reunion was held on the occas-
ion of the 49th anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Jared How
ard. Among the guests were Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Lyons of Greenfield,
Mass, Mrs Otis Howard, daughter
and son of Rossville, Kan, Mr.. and
Mrs Frank Howard and sons of Hoo

Rochelle, n. Y, Timothy Houghton of

HowE's CIRCUS IN TOWN
Parades In the Rain and Gives Excel.
lent Afternoon Performance

Howe's London circus which snow
ed yesterday in Manchester where in
spite of the rainy weather there was
good attendance at both performan-
ces5 arrived here this morning, and
the parade was put on in downpour
of rain. Although the weather condit
ions badly marred the spectacular
features of the street exhibition II
was still plainly evident TO the large
crowds that lined the streets that the
circus was well QUILTED and up to
date in every respect.
The portion of the menagerie that
could be seen while the parade was in
progress showed some fine specimens
of the animal kingdom.
The fresh appearance Of the perfor.
mers, the newness of tne costumes
and paraphernalia excited consider
able favorable comment and the par
ade made a decidedly good impression
1t was long, filed with many new fea-
lures, and compact.
Every feature during the afternoon
performance gave satisfaction The
show opened with the grand entry
which gave the audience chance to
admire the horses with the show.
These animals rightly deserve the
term Blue Ribbon Stables" After
the entry the ring stage and aerial
numbers followed
The general scheme of Howe's
shows met with the approval of the
audience as every asst is arranged and
put on so that the spectators are not
confused by a myriad of acts offered
simultaneously.
TIE famous Ty-Belle Sisters won
the applause and admiration Of the
audience in their dances in midair,
suspended from the topmost point of
canvas by their teeth alone.
Miss Kate Dooley, the circus beau
ty." gave a beautiful series of poses
and plastiques on the flying perch.
The bareback riding of Franz Reed
who is a grandson of the once famous
circus clown Dan Rice was above the
average and displayed the fancy trick
riding taught by the old school OF
horsemanship which is omitted by all
the young riders of today.
The acrobatic work included the
Nichols brothers, introducing new,
novel and up-to-date TRICKS.
One of the most notable features
was a high school menage act by
Nine Earl and her nigh school horse
"Rosedale" a beautiful black Ken
lucky thoroughbred and John Smith
on Colonel"
Tine Nichols, tight-wire performers
and Miss Emma LaTowe on the slack
wire won rounds of plaudits.
The evening show will commence at
S:20 and the doors will open an hour
earlier. The menagerie is well worth
visit and Prof. Wheeler's band con-
cert offers a selection of overtures
and popular airs for the benefit of
these who are particularly fond of
good music.

In the rear coaches of the passen-
ger train a great deal of confusion fol-
lowed the collision but the trainmen
speedily restored order. The lamps

were smashed but no one was injured
by the flying glass. All of the passen-
gers were more or less shaken up and
bruised but none was seriously hurt.

BACK TO EARTH WITH A THUD
Haynes Had to Leave the Box Be-
cause of Sore Arm and Good
Game Was Spoiled.

Fresh from victories over Pittsfield
and Schenectady the Bennington team
sadly disappointed its many admirers
at Tudor Park by playing
the worst game of ball seen this year
The story is soon told All Haynes
was called upon to twist for the nome
team without being given a chance to
recuperate after the gruelling game
he was called upon to pitch on Thurs
day last He told the writer before
the game that he was far from his
best, but felt as well as could be eX-
pected Let me give "Al" piece Of
advice. An ambitious colt can soon
be ruined with overwork. A good left
arm can soon be ruined without prop
er care. A good young man can soon
go to the junk-pile if ne attempts to
overdo things. Moral "AT-Don't
lose your good reputation by attempt
ing the impossible. Your many ad-
mirers feel that fit you can easily turn
the tables on North Adams. If the
brand of ball North Adams put up is
the best in the refrigerator, the home
fans need not worry much about the
outcome OF the succeeding games.
TIE infield is decidedly weak. On a
good fast diamond the ball will have
an excellent chance to go through
some gyrations seen at prestidigit-
alton performance.

hole in his bat. Roper pushed a
