Sweet revenge was gained by the
Greek polo team over New Castle last
evening at the Coliseum and 1t was
carried far enough for the final score
to result in a ID to 1 victory for the
locals. The game was somewhat OF
farce and shows the superiority of the
local amateurs over the Flower City
and indianapolis semi-professionals.
Henley and Allison were the stars and
worked well together but in an effort
to pick out stars, the other players OF
the locals should come in for credit.

not mean that the two latter plays
were not up to the mark, but Father

Those to whom only the best in
dramatic art appeals will no doubt be
eager to see that sterling actor, John
Griffith, in his new play, "A Kings
RIVAL" which is announced as the at
traction at the Gennett theater next
Saturday evening. Mr.. Griffith has
appeared here a number of times dur
ing former seasons, but in the past he
has confined his representations to
Shakesperian and other tragic roles.
The part Of Don Caesar, which he
plays in "A Kings Rival is of a semi
comic type, and it is interesting to
note that his success in the character
has been fully equal to his many prev
ious achievements in the roles Of "the
immortal Bard" which demonstrates
his remarkable versatility. Mr.. Grit
fith's supporting company is said to
be an exceptionally strong organiza-
ton.
