YALE AVIATION MEET
 NETTED ABOUT $6,O0O
Of This Sum, Men Who Risked Their Necks Re
 ceived About $750 Apiece.

New Haven, May 24-It has been learned that financially the Yale avia- tion meet last Friday and Saturday was a success, although had the weather been more propitious for aer- ial navigation, it is believed that the sum of s6.000, which was taken in dur ing the two days. would have been doubled, and the Yale Aero Associa- tion would have had more money in it's treasury than it has today.
 Under a percentage agreement the Curtiss company received about S4.500, from which Aviators Beachy and Nc Curdy were paid something like $1,500 between them.
 Manager Cleaveland J. Rice, of the Yale Aero club, in speaking of the meet said:
 'T believe that with good weather there would have been a much larger at the events on both days But many persons were kept away on Friday because of the threaten, rain. Probably the receipts wo. have gone as high as S12.O00. President B. Hine. of the Yale Aero Club, worked hard for the success of the meeting and should receive much credit.
 .'On behalf of the Yale Aero Club wish to thank the press of this city for it's aid in making the meet a suc- cess, and for the enterprise that it exhibited"
 Manager Rice stated that the cost of a machine similar to those used by the aviators last week in this city was S6. 800

Follies Fantastique
 Jar Old Philadelphia

Philadelphia, May 24ALocal society, especially that portion of it which Ttends to conservatism, is breathing a sigh of relief that the warm weather Twill prevent "behind closed doors" en- tertainments, thus eliminating the whispered gossip which followed in the wake of the recent party given by Mr. and Mrs. W. Yorke Stevenson in honor of the new society organiza- tion, the Play and Players Club
 The entertainment was held in the old Wetherill mansion on Broad St. and was called the "Follies Fantasti- que" It was the liveliest thing at- tempted in Philadelphia society for many years. The Wetherill house had been transformed for the event. On one floor was a French cafe, with young women we'll known in society running around with trays. What the trays contained provided for the amusement later in the evening.
 For persons of a German turn of mind there was a rathskeller. pre- sided over by Arthur and Walter Wheeler. But the piece de resistance was the Turkish room, made especial ly for lounging place. It was beau tifully decorated with the highest priced rugs and with many beautiful young women, whose costumes were ,snore decorative than anything else.
 Until. the older guests had decided they had had enough of the enter ;tainment the younger people kept within bounds. but upon the departure .of the "conservatives'' the fun be- came fast and furious.
 Mrs. Bob Drayton. who acted as one ,pf the barmaids. saw that there was no thirsty person present, and Mrs. Steele who was Mary Hazelhurst, danced a. ,pas seul in a hobble skirt that was Ia great success. but which ended in Ia cropper on the floor.

POLI'S.

With the second week of the sum-
 mer season of stock at Polls started
 and this weeks offering a brilliant
 production of brilliant play "The
 Man of the Hour" by the Poli Players
 patronage is on the increase for the
 theatregoing public has come to req
 hze that Manager PoH has booked in
 a mighty good company of players
 Tor this seasons stock and a mighty
 fine repertoire of plays John E. Ince
 IS more in popular favor than ever
 this season and is doing the best work
 of his career. Jane Tyrrell the new
 leading lady of the company is a beau
 tiful woman, an accomplished artist
 and one of the best gowned women
 on the American stage Johnny Jun
 for the new juvenile is already a mat
 1nee idol here as he has been every
 where else; Tom Moore a handsome young chap scores a sensational suc- cess at each performance this week; Jos
 Eggenton always a finished artist is
 always welcome here; Charles Scho-
 field won his popularity laurels sev-
 eral seasons ago and still retains them, dainty Isadore Martin is just loved by the Poli patrons for her per- sonal charm and her clever work and so it is with all the other members of the players each having his or her own special following. The Man of the Hour is decidely a modern play and deals with a modern topic cor ruption in political office. Alwyn Ben nett young man of wealth becomes a mayor of a large city simply because of row among politicians, his nomi- nation becoming possible only because the politicians believed that they could use him as they. saw fit. An impor- tant railroad measure comes up for approval and the young mayor sacri- fees everything he holds dear in the world sooner than violate his oath of office The predominating figures in the play are Horrigan a political boss said to be drawn from a character from Dick Croker and Al derman Phelan political leader in his district. Horrigan and Phelan are political rivals and Phelan takes up the battle with the mayor and un- earths enough grating schemes to allow the mayor to triumph over the ring. The play is marked from the fact that interest is sustained through every act and each act has-a stirring climax. Dealing with topics of today it is easy understandable and Stage Director Socola has given the produc- tion a splendid setting. It is a play that teaches a wholesome moral les son and appeals to all classes of peO- ple To the young and those uninitat- ed into the mysteries of politics it t1oAhes a lesson of honor and should be seen by crowded houses at every performance. Between the acts Jack Sherman sings illustrated songs and is assisted by Eddie Healey the won- derful boy soprano. Motion pictures of the latest views also enliven the waits between the acts. There is a splendidly large advance sale for the remainder of the week and those wish ing to see the splendid performance had best avail themselves of the op- portunity now afforded to purchase seats.
