BAD LUCK NOW FOR ilG0OD LUCk''
 DICK LOMBARD

Judge Howard J. Curtis, yesterday, decided that Good Luck Lombard, otherwise ssDick'' Lombard. cannot open saloon at 1532 seaview avenue, although the commissioners had granted him a license. The license was opposed by Edward D. Beach, who appealed from the finding of the com missioners, and by most of the manu- featuring interests in the neighbor- hood of the proposed saloon. Seymour 6 Day represented the remonstrants and CuI1fnan & Cul1fnan MT. Lombard It is not probable that an appeal will be taken
 The memorandum of decision, filed by Judge Curtis, follows:
 The proposed location of the sa- loon is in what is practically but not purely a manufacturing and a. residen- tfaI section of the city. n view of this fact and of the number of saloons in the vicinity and the reasonable ap- prehension of 9 large body of nnanu- facturing concerns and all the evil dence presented, I find that the place selected for this saloon is so mani festIy unsuitable as to justify the conclusion that the license was flle- galIy issued. find, therefore, that the commissioners acted in excess of their power and illegally in issuing this license, and the license is there fore vaca ted.''

 IN FULL SWING
Immense Gathering at Open ing Last Evening at Park City Rink - Attractions for Tonight.

The predictions of some days past that record breaking crowds would mark the successful carnival to be given by St. Peters parish at Park City Rink, began to be realized last night That was the first night and although a large attendance was look ed for, yet even the most enthusiastic did not expect such 8 tremendous in pouring of patrons from all parts of the city as deluged the rink on this occasion. SucE being the attendance on the first night what is to be ex- Tected for the three remaining nights? Those who came once will surely come again, and not alone for they will brfng their friends to share in the E1easure. The decorations so profuse and varied present a most attractive scene as one enters, while the differ ent booths grooming under the weight of many and choice articles and in care of a bevy of most comedy ladies, add greatly to the picture spIendor
 The beWi1dering whir1 of the dancers and the strains of sweet music of course gave zest to the entertainment of the evening. The Benfam family as a stage attraction scored a remark able hit and were called to the foot lights repeatedly. The beautiful doll the generous donor of which wishes her name withheld. still holds the cen ter of the stage and claims the atten-- tion of both old and young. Tonight everything will be of the same high class order and then on Monday night, known as St. Joseph's night, the best talent of that society give the stage attraction.
