Queen Esther"
C. L. sHAEFFER, Local Edito,

The cantata "Queen Esther" given
under the auspices of Intervale Chap
ter. o. E. S., and under the direction
of Prof Newton of Boston, was a
grand success in every way. The
stage setting was very fine ana scenic
effect was imposing. The singers,
from the king and queen on down to
every member of the chorus. did more
than Justice to themselves. Carl
Wiley made an excellent King and
sang in his usual inimitable manner.
Mrs Tinkham of Newport, who took
the part of Queen Esther. fully dem
onstrated her ability, and the thor
ough cultivation of her most beautiful
voice. The drills introduced were
finely executed. Especially that Of
the guard drill under the captaincy of
Mrs l.. M. Kinsley composed of 16
members of the star. This drill was
perfect in every respect. Much of
the success of the entire work was due
to the faithful efforts of the pianists,
Miss Sadie Lothrop ard Mrs. E. c..
Skinner. All the special parts were
exceedingly well sustained and to
mention one is to speak of them all.
fhe Saturday afternoon matinee, al.
though not so largely attended, was
very highly appreciated. The hall
was we'll filled on Friday evening.
All who took part can feel highly
Rratified in the success of their
efforts. The committee who had the
matter in charge would most heartily
thank the members of the Star for
their most hearty cooperation and
especially would they thank those
outside of the Star for the time and
effort devoted to the success Of the
entertainment.

BASEBALL
 LEAGUE

Winslow is to have league baseball next year if present plans do not miscarry. What do you know about that? Winslow playing in the league. Of course, it's not the big league and there's no chance of their being conten- ders for the worlds campionship series, yet there's going to be some rattling good baseball here next season or all signs will fail.
 w. C. Alvord, popularly known the country over as Bill, is a. mong us this week and is arrang- ing 10 build up a league with clubs at Williams. Flagstaff, Winslow aud Gallup.
 Mir. Alvord, let it be known, has been some baseball player himself in years gone by and to be truthful he can still do his laps around third base though he has built up some considerable weight since he has retired from active duty on the field.
 Alvord has an interesting his tory. At various times he has played on such teams as Wash ington, Cleveland, Toledo, Kan sas City and St. Paul as we'll as with the St. Louis nine. Alvord tells good story on hirn- self while playing with the latter club. It was his turn at bat with a man on first and one on se- cond. nobody out and the score three to two against St. Louis. Alvord says 1t was up to him to bunt and advance the runners but the opposing pitcher lobbed over nice easy one which. Bill laced out into the right field bleachers for three bagger. The next batter up brought him home and Comiskev, manager for St. Louis, patted him on the back saying good boy Billy, you won the game for us but it will cost you $50 for not bunting" Fine doings!
 Anyway Mir. Alvord is now taking a lively interest iu pro- noting the proposed league and he has every promise of success. He has already visited Williams and Flagstaff and is now here to arrange for the organization of the Wiuslow club. He will stay here till Monday or Tues day of next week getting things under way and will then go to Gallup to make arrangements there for representation in the new league.
 The business men of Williams and Flagstaff are very enthus- iastic over the chances of having some semblance of the real thing in baseball and have promised Mir. .Alvord they will kick i'll with financial assistance as well as boosting for the game on any and all occasions. Winslow and Gallup will not be found want in this respect as the business men of these towns will be only too glad to help the sport along knowing that q hustling base ball club is one of the very best advertising mediums town can have.
 At meeting held Friday even- ing the Winslow club was organ ized with the following officers: Dr. R. G. Bazelle. President; l l. Collins, Secretary; R. c. Kauif- man, $ Treasurer and John E. Campbell, Manager.

ARIZONA FAIR
 November 7th to 12th
Womens Department Exhibits.


 The Territorial Fair Commis sion desires especially to call the attention ofthe ladies of Arizona to the advisability of sending exhibits from all parts ofArizona to the several divisions of the Womens Department. This has always been one of the most at tractive departments of the Fair and should be representative of every section of the Territory. Premium Lists and entry blanks can be secured on request ad- dressed to Secretary Fair Con- mission, Phoenix.
 The Commission wishes to call attention to the rule concerning entries for department H, Womens Work. All entries for this department must be made not later than 5 p. m., Thursday, November 3rd. This rule applies to all divisions of this depart ment.
 Exhibition for all divisions of department H, with the excep- tion of cooked foods, lots IFS, 179, 1SO, 181, will be received at the Fair Grounds on the Fri day and Saturday immediately proceeding the opening of the Fair Cooked foods will be re- ceived on Monday.
 Meet Me on the Midway. Mollie."
 The Territorial Fair commis- sion, made a wise movei in selling the concessions, but at the same time retaining supervision over all amusement and other conces- sions. The result IS that there will be more doing i'll the way of amusements of the race track than ever before. Ned Creighton, who IS superintendent of conces- s1ons for the fair commission, announces that there has been secured a number of Midway" attractions that will class up we'll with any thing of the kind ever brought into the southwest. It IS the intention to make the Midway" one of the most at tractive spots in Phoenix during the Fair. Ten shows, covering a variety of amusements have al ready been secured and it is a certainty that Meet me on the Midway" will be a popular dat ing phrase during Fair week.
 One of the Biggest Prizes Ever Hung Ur
 The principal purse at the Phoenix Arizona meeting, Nov. 7th to 12th will be the Arizona Copper Stake of $6OO0, divided half for pacers and half for trot ters. The stake is a contribu tior by public spirited citizens of the territory who desire to assist the fair and further to advertise the fact that Arizona produces more copper than any other state or territory in the United States.
 The classes are for 2:12 paccrs and 2:19 trotters. The entrance fee for these purses is three per cent with seven per cent deduc- tion from money winners. These purses will positively be raced for even if there are only two entries and two horses ready to start in each race.
 The Arizona Copper Stake was last year purse of $1O,OOO and attracted many horsemen all of whom were more than pleased at the treatment accorded them. Phoenix has established a repu- tation of always paying purses advertised, a fact made easy by reason ot the Territorial Fair being owned and operated by the Territorial government. | Engineer Wild of Chicago,

Arizona's s History

One of the most interesting and valuable manuscripts in the collection that IS being made by Miss Sharlot M. Hall, territorial historian, will be that of a his, tory of Arizona, written by Joseph Fish of Holbrook. Miss Hall has secured the manuscript and it will be placed in her office at the capitol building within a short time.
 Some comment has been made by the territorial press at various times on Mir. Fish's history. He is one of the old pioneers of Ari- zona and has been gathering and compiling data number of years. Much of the information he has obtained could not now be secured for those who gave 1t have since died.
 Living in a remote part of the territory, with no means to buy an enormous library of reference works such as nearly any his torian would demand before at tempting volume of this kind ', MT. Fish has completed a task that is really remarkable. Miss Hall is very enthusiastic and ap- preciative of what he has done and declares that his manuscript will be of incalcuble assistance to her in compiling historical data.
 The Fish manuscript will be filed in the territorial library, where it may be referred to at any time.-Phoenix Republican
