A number of people were much inter-
| ested Wednesday in the appearance of an
animal on Roota island and the general
verdict was thatt it was a lynx. Those
who saw it sa! THAT it was a cat-like
animal as large as a good-sized dog. 1t
kept wandering about in an aimless fash
ion and was watched some time. 1t
seems very strange that a night prowler
like the lynx should be going about in
broad daylight close to the village but
those who saw II are mistaken in their
conviction that 1t was a lynx.
Uncle Dan'Pl from Jarvis section
came to the Auditorium Tuesday even
ing and entertained a fair sized audience
with his country shrewdness and great
! heartedness for his friends. He left his
serene rural life and met and conquered
the villains and wies of the great city
in truly melodramatic fashion and came
out at the end the same old codger. The
remainder of the cast did good service,
playing double duty in city and country
in a versatile way. The comedy was
not of an extreme order but there were
plenty of laughs throughout the play and
at no time We're the feelings of the
audience unduly narrowed by tears.
