While the law court Of Maine has just
declared the old Bar Harbor anti-ordi-
nance as sound, another test case under
the new law, which is in effect in the
towns OF Eden, Mt. Desert and fremont,
is furnished. Last Friday, DR.. }. d.
Phillips, of Southwest Harbor, the only
town on Mt. Desert island from which
autos are not excluded, ran his auto
through the restricted towns OF Mt.
Desert and Eden to the toll bridge, and
on the mainland, and then went to Bar
Harbor and surrendered himself to the
authorities. He pleaded not guilty in the
municipal court, waived examination, was
found guilty, fined go and costs, appealed,
and gave bond Of 900 for appearance at
the October term of the supreme court.
The case will undoubtedly go to the law
court, as it involves some points not
covered in the old law on which decision
has just been rendered.

teur musical extravaganza to be given
for the benefit of the childrens nos
pital, will open at the Auditorium To-
night for a. three nights run. The cur
tain will rise proptly at o'clock, and
the management has requested that
the audience be seated few minutes
before that hour in order that the
theater may be darkened for the sage
hurst college scene.
All rehearsals were called off yester-
day afternoon in order to give the 72O
participants a good rest before the
performance. Crews of boosters,
members of the cast toured the down
town streets in automobiles yesterday
afternoon, advertising the perform
ance.
All electrical effects have been ad-
justed to suit the requirements of the
Auditorium, and local electricians
claim that the effects are fully as
elaborate as those carried by profess
sional companies Telephone and sig
nal bells connect all parts of the big
auditorium with the stage managers s
office so he will be able to direct the
performance personally. Many rooms,
Including Choral hall, have been fitted
up for dressing rooms on account of

their respective turns. the performers
will witness the performance from the
front of the house, special seats hav-
