AT THE MAJESTIC.

The Avalons, presenting a pretty
club juggling act are being featured
at the Majestic theatre for the first
half of the week. The AvalOns, four
in number. comprise a quartet of very
clever iuggIers of the clubs. One wo-
man and three men put the act on and
their ensemble work was striking in
the extreme. Harry Sullivan. Ruth
Meyers, Allen Bennett and Roland
Waters put on The Favorite, little
racing sketch with comedy and melo-
dramatics enough for a full play. The
slit is well played, and although at
times it grows very boisterous. is al
ways interesting. 1t was Rube Strick-
land, however. who made the hit of
the show with his Hiram Skidder"
characterization. Strickland is about
6 feet inches tall and did some gro
tesque dancing and played selections
on the violin and bass horn. His work
is highly humorous all around and he
drew more applause than any act on
the bill. The Lenzes do singing spe-
cialty in which they appear as gypsy
street singers and Swiss Tyrol yodlprs.

SEASON IS CLOSED
Today Last One of Year on
Which It Is Lawful to Kill
Bob Whites.
FEW EXPRESS REGRETS
Sport Has Been Disappointment This
FaII-SeveraI Years Needed
to Recruit Numbers.

Today is the last one of the open
season for the killing of quail in Illi-
nois. Few of the sportsmen will re-
greet the closing of the period that has
been abbreviated two days under the
ruling of the attorney general The
general impression hereabout is that
there really ought TO have been no
open season at all in this part of the
state Never was the shooting poorer
than this fall, the rigors of last winter
having reduced the number of birds
hereabout lower perhaps than ever be-
fore. So poor was the shooting that
the average hunter has been content
with single excursion, which usually
was enough to convince him that it
was not worth while to go out.
Scarcity IL Local.
OF course, it would scarcely seem
reasonable, taking the state as whole,
to protect quail for the next two or
three years to bring them up to their
usual numbers, for the scarcity of the
birds seems to be merely local, vary
ing in different districts in the north
ern part of the state. In the central
and southern parts of the state the
shooting this fall is reported TO have
been fully up to the usual standard.

FIND AIR CURRENTS BAD
Aviators Refuse to Give Exhibitions
at Chattanooga After First Tests.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Nov. %
Charles X. Hamilton, John b. Moisant
and several other aviators here for a
three-day aviation meet, which COM
menced yesterday called off all further
attempts after a few flights had been
made because the air currents here
we're found TO be most treaCherous
The field set aside for the meetings is
situated at the base of numerous hills.
Garr0s, in a Demoisselle, and Simon,
in a Bleriot, made brief flights and
found the upper air so perilOus that
they and all of the other bird-men re-
fused to take further chances.
A crowd of 5000 waited for four
hours in the cold before a single ma
chine left the ground. Then Frisbie
got mis- Curtis biplane as high as eight
feet above earth before some of the
me chanism went wrong. Later Garros
circlad the field twice in his tiny De
moisselle, and Simon, ascending to a
height of 500 feet in a Bleriot. circled
the field four times. The aviatOrs left
at night for Memphis, where it is
hoped flying conditions will be found
more satisfactory

NO RECORD FOR DREXEL
Test Shows That JOhnstOne's AIti-

New York, Nov. 29.-Clifford B.
Harmon, chairman of the national
council of the Aero Club of America,
said last night that the official test
of the Paragraph carried by J.'Arm-
strong Drexel in his altitude flight in
Philadelphia showed that Ralph
Johnstone's record of 9,714 feet es-
tablished at the Belmont park meet
still holds premier place. The first
examination of the Paragraph indi-
Gated that Drexel had reached a
height of 1910 feet. but the sealed
instrument was taken to Schneider
Bros. who reported that its actual
register was $3.50 feet. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that Mr.. Drexel ex-
Ceeded this elevation.

was won. Several of the directors are
reluctant about taking hold of the job
again, as they feel they have done
their share, but pressure will be
brought to bear on them to keep them
in office After the meeting of the
stockholders and the election of direct
ors the latter will hold a second meet

good leader on the job, a manager who
will lie able to give Rock Island
