audience, considering the inclement

Evolutionary Recital.

The evolutionary recital given by the
Rev. Lewis n. MOODY and his pupils
Tuesday evening at the opera hall was
a decided success both artisticaly and
financially. Every reserved seat was
sold. We have not space to speak of
all who participated, but some are
worthy of especial mention. Miss
Boardway in the recitation of "The
Fireman's Prayer, and Dorothy La
Roche in "Sally AIMS Experience,
we're exceptionally fine. Miss Board
way has an expressive face, sympa-
thetic voice and graceful style and de-
livered her lines in truly artistic man
ner. Miss Dorothy LaRoche has I'M
usual talent for eccentric comedy.
Mr.. Moody appeared in two numbers.
"The Debating Society, an eccentric
comedy scene descriptive of country
debating society, was extremely laugh
able. Mr.. Moody displayed his versa
tlity in character interpretative render
ing. Each character appeared clear cut
and distinct. The second number was
the borrowing scene from "Fhe Mer-
chant of Venice, and was given with
all the dramatic skill which the reader
possesses. Mr. Moody certainly has
talent as reader.
The musical numbers were all that
could be desired. The instrumental
trio by Mrs, Amey and Messrs. Powell
and Dyer, and the vocal solos by Mrs.
Moody and Mrs. Corliss were finely
rendered and met with the cordial re-
ceptioa they well deserved. Mr. Pow
ellis violin and Mrs. Corliss' voice are
worthy additions to our musical circle
Tie large audience present departed
we'll pleased with the evenings enter.

part of today's session the stock market
bore the familiar aspects OF the ap-

covering by the professional clement. Inc
movement at first was decidedly irregu-
lar. with pronounced weakness in the
Gould issues, particularly IN ieNas IA

severe decline In the preferred stock OF

the announcement that many domestic
manufacturers have recently been heavy
purchasers of the metal. Another con-
tributing cause was a smart advance IN

The market as a whole, however. was
narrow and such net gains as the day
recorded were at times frequently re-
sisted by bear party whose ranks seem
to have been largely augmented in the

Hanks Matches
Kid Flemming
And Connolly.

Promoter f. w. Hanks has made q
ten strike in matching Young Con-
molly, the Scotch champion light
weight, with Kid Flemming of Ole
Town for the early part of January
Connolly is a wonderful artist with
the n1itts and is claimed to be the very
fastest and most aggressive boxer
that has appeared in the East for
years. He recently made monkeys OF
such high class boys as Martin Ca
mole. Peter Sullivan and several other
classy boxers and is looked upon as
the coming lightweight champion,
Kid Flemming needs no introaue-
ton to Maine fans. He so far out
classes all other Maine boxers of MS
weight that a comparison SOUNDS IKE
a joke He stopped the good tough
Newport boy, Ellis Sanborn twice
once in two minutes and again in a
few seconds His most recent bout
was with that clever welterweight
Honey Melody, and though handi-
capped by a number of pounds in
weight made the Boston boy look like
a novice. His style is that of the hard
hitting, aggressive fighter who never
misses an opportunity to deliver a
punch even though In doing SO he may
have to take one.
The boys have signed to weigh in at
3 o'clock p. NJ.

that the marriage would take place
near the holidays. Arrangements were
quietly made following a visit of Wood
