Sixteen Weeks in Chicago

Both New York City, where the
play "The Man of the Hour" " Which
will be the bill at Hollands Opera
House Monday night, March 20, ran
for two entire seasons, and Boston,
where it ran thirty-one weeks, ex-
pressed the same belief-that the
play dealt with the characters who
had their prototypes in the public
men of each city; while Chicago in
turn thought the play so good a pic
ture of Chicago civil life, that it
kept it on the boards through the
entire heat of the summer of 1907,
for a run of sixteen weeks.

 In about one hour a mnrmer and stir among the watchers were signs not to be mistaken, and soon Culp's team came into full view running with an even, measured lope, although showing signs of fatigue badly. Culp was lying full length in the sled; the physical and nerve-racking contest was telling, but his eye flashed defiance and victory as he passed the long line of spectators up to the N. C.-just hour, 55 minutes out. He was assisted into the N. c. store by his coacher (Mr. Miller1, and the proper dope administered while his team was patted and pampered by their many admirers.
 Corbusier's team came up the line just hour 23 minutes later, and while they lost by 2 minutes they showed

 It was just 10:37 when Culp swung around in front of the N. c. store with his four dogs, where stood Timekeeper Mulligan, watch in hand. People were gathered in little knots all along Front street and down past the army post as far as the eye could reach.
 1.-TWO minutes !' thundered the time keeper, but Culp seemed not to hear. He was cool, collected, and evidently holding himself under perfect control. However, one of his dogs shook his. hind foot.
 'One minnten and Culp casually glanced at the handle bars and noted his whip.
 "Timen' and He's off !'' "Here he comes" was heard to run down the line far ahead of the team till it was lost in the distance. As the team passed their kennels they turned to go in, but Culp was too quick for them, al- though the team came to dead stop; time loss, g seconds. At the Post they took spin around the hospital, and had to be led out to the trail for fresh start. Once moro under way they took a fairly short lope, although somewhat broken, down past the Post out of sight.

He used 'gee line" on his leader similar to the ones we used to see in the land of tobacco, mules and cotton down in good old Dixie.

Panama, Jan. Is. -.The greatest sport. ing event of the season thus far took place on Sunday, January 10. Mir. Cor buster raced with his dogteam, repre- senting the mail service, and MT. Culp with his team, representing the N. c. store. Distance run, IS miles; miles and return; wager, $50.
 For some time Messrs. Corbusier and Culp have had much to say concerning thelr fast dogteams, and to the surprise of everyone it finally came to 8 test on the date mentioned. Besides the $50 bet there was an agreement that the loser should talk no unnecessary dog" for period of six months.
 Mir. Mulligan, of the N. c. Co.,, was chosen official timekeeper, and Billy Corning end man, nine miles down the river. The trail was ideal, and the ex- citement intense. The city of Panama was stirred to it's very foundations, and the contestants were looked upon as martyrs to a great cause as they sprinted up and down the various ave nues, and incidentally took their dogs for a spin days before the great event.
 On Saturday evening there was no other subject mentioned, and more won- derful dogteams were unearthed that evening than was ever dreamed of by the most optimistic dog man.
 Culp retired at 10:15 after very light lunch of coffee and doughnuts and slept soundly until 4:25, when he awoke and called for a drink of cold water in a clear, confident voice, after which he slept rather brokenly until S:10, when he dressed and took h,s usual morr ing's spin of 3A miles.
 Corbusier was sleeping soundly at II p.m., but at l:35 his rest became broken, accompanied by much tossing and muttering. At Q am. he was on the street with his usual congenial smile, and pose that would brook no defeat. His breakfast consisted of beef steak rare, French fries and strong coffee, while hls rival (Cuip) took d light lunch only, consisting of fruits,
