In addition TO the fact that the play
upsets the opposing team and advances
the runners, the ball usually goes
through the hole for safe hit, as the
shortstop frequently runs TO cover sec

In this play Jack MURRAY has proved

THE PLAY s
 THE THING" G"

As an oases in a dreary de- sert of dances. the comedy and band concert given last Saturday evening by the Fort Seward Dramatic club at Elks' hall was doubly appreciated: for the play was cleverly written and well acted and the Twenty,second regiment band furnished music that delighted the most critical. A large audience was
 present and with this encouragement it is quite probable that skagwaywill get more such entertainments in the future.
 For an amatuer production. That Box of Cigarettes" was remarkably we'll played. Every member of the caste did we'll and it is hard to sing. le ou: any one for special mention. Dr. Paul Hutton as Americus Vespucius oldboy. played the part of the crusty old bachelor with great realism. Capt. Haskell made a flashing young society man and Capt. Simonds and llr Reid wooed and won in irresist. able fashion.
 Mrs. Haskelrs characterization of the part of the maiden aunt of prime iple. was extremely clever Miss Dayison and Mrs. Reid made the mos Of their parts and Miss Reynolds was a charming ingenue.
 Under the thoroughly artistic leader ship of NIr. Leon Trusson, the Twent second regiment band won repeated encores.
