THE GIRL QUESTION.

The Cir Question at the opera house
Thursday evening was one Of the best
shows seen here this winter. A "mu-
steal comedy" it was, in every sense
of the term. with good, live music by
perfectly trained choruses and a
laugh for the audience as frequently
as could be desired. The chorus cos
tuning was fine, pleasing kaleido-
scope of moving colors. as it were,
entire play, that left not second for
the audience to be bored. Even the
intermissions were short
Herbert Hancock, the musical d.
rector, was not stingy with gooL mu-
sic, for there was plenty of it and the
male quartette made hit, especially
in the song, is Everybody Happy"
Miss Mcgowan, as Joe Foster,
the waitress, played the serious role
of the evening, and her acting was
excellent. She appeared to best ad-
vantage in the second act, when she
gave to the part of the waitress a
womanliness, that, despite other at
fractions, kept interest centered in
her.
Mrs. Jessie Sears, the magnatc's
new wife and former stenographer,
was cleverly done by Miss Hoffman,
who amused the audience immensely
with her songs and representations
her good-looking gowns. and her evil
dent enjoyment of her new station in
society.
Elsie Davis, the cashier, was
played by Miss Dorothy Maynard, who
wa. grace itself; she wore some pref
ty frocks, and took to singing and
dancing like duck to water.
The Baron, just from Germany with
his one joke, was a fine piece of i'm
personation by Mr.. Cooper, who did
a difficult stunt well indeed, when he

Germany-his homo land-in the
third act, touching the hearts of his
hearers, who, only moment before.
had been laughing at his slow foreign
ways.
For mixture of fun and serious
ness well drawn, Mr.. John L. Kear-
ney, as the head waiter, Con, was
exceptionally good, very natural, and
brought out skillfully the good in the
character, without making it untrue
to his surroundings. He did some
singing, also, and his Buck and Wing
dancing with the chorus was a popu-
lar feature. Mr. Kearney's entrance
was greeted with applause, and he
pleased his audience throughout the
evening, assisted by the numerous
cast. big part of which was the ,cho-.
rus girls and men.

NOTES.

Four hits was the best the Millels
could do with Mccormick after the
first inning.
Hicks did the backstopping against
Shelbyville and played the position
perfect. He had eleven putouts, partici-
pated in double play and got one out
of the nine hits.
The contest was long drawn out and
went for three hours.
A total of six runs again and all in
punches of two.
Arthur Long. for Shelbyville. made
the only long hit of the game which,
went for two bases.
Maxwell is doing well on short.
Four chances handled perfectly and
one bingle was his contribution to the
victory of the Bourbonites.
The fielding of ShelbyviIle was very
uncertain and four mispIays went down
against them. Only one went down
against the Bourbonites.
Goodman and Mccormick each made
two hits. Goodman seems to be get
ting his eye black after little slump
in his hitting. while Mccormick is al
ways pretty safe for a hit in every
game in which he participates.

Outfelder Lewis, of Bloomfield, Ind,
who reported for duty Wednesday and
was sent to Shelbyville to join the
club. Lewis. who will fill the position
in the left garden, comes upon the
recommendation OF Thos. Digger. a
former member Of the Paris club and
is said to be an excellent hitter.
Shortstop Scott is visiting relatives
in Cincinnati. where he will probably
remain until he is able to again take
his position in the game. Several
weeks ago during a game in Frank
fort Scott sustained an injury and has
since been unable to play. A little
Improvement in his condition in the
past few days has been noted but it is
probable that he will be out of the
game for some time yet.

CLUB STANDING.
League Clubs Suffer Severe
Losses.

The inclement weather of tho most
week has worked a hardship with tho
CLUBS of the Blue Grass Leapne and
hesvy losses in financial wsv is The
result. way Is the
since S lnday there has been an al
most incessant downpour all over the
league circuit and few of the cIuhs
nave been able to play owing to the
miserable condition :of the grounds
and besides this others have suffered
not lite bit from floods and high
water. mig
Inc heavy rains in and around Paris
nave had the effect of swelling the
stream that runs in the rear of the
aarls ball grounds the high water
aoooIng the park and i1fiictipg such
dam! & = that the local club will be at a
considerable expense in putting it in
the proper condition.
Luckily, however, before the rise. a
large force of men was snployed at
the local park in removing the high
board fence which the club officials.
Fronting by the experience in the
Hocd OF FEBRUARY a year ago in which
d severe loss was sustained by the
water sweeping away a large portion
OF the tence had taken the precaution
IN such an emergency to erect the
fence so that it would be possible to
remove large sections at once, andsby
Cnls The loss was reduced to some ex
tent.
"A number of the ,arPe sign boards
were damagecfby the high water also.
Inc loss to the Paris club cannot be
estimated, but the damage occasioned
by the high water coupled with the ex-
pense to which the club is already
placed, the revenue being cut down by
the inability of the club to play, the
loss will no doubt be exceedingly
large.
TUESDAY.
In a poor contest at Shelbyville
Tuesday afternoon, the Millers were
defeated by Paris by score of 6 to 2.
Mccormick did the pitching for Paris
and twirled a steady game, having only
one bad inning, that being the first,
when the Millers pounded out four of
their hits which counted for one run.
The Millers played miserable game
IN the field. which was OF great assist
ance to Paris in riling up the six runs.
Vallandingham was In the box for
Shelbyville and was relieved in the
seventh inning by Bosom.
No league umpire was present so
