See the Biplane.

They have it, and it flies. Ever since
Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch Wild West
Shows billed that they would exhibit a
Curtis -Farnum biplane and that it
would actually make flight propelled
by competent aviator, nothing but
doubt existed in the minds Of the pub
lie, which had not entirely forgotten
that last year show advertised a like
attraction and only exhibited small
aeroplane model in their side show.
However, Harrisburg was filled with
people last Saturday, in fact the lar
gest crowd that ever congregated in
the county was present to witness the
street parade. which by the way was
first-class and was followed to the show
grounds by an expectant throng that
numbered fully 10000 people, as it had
been rumored that the show really had
a large aeroplane and it was erected
ready for flight. After reaching the
grounds at 11:SO promptly as adver-
tised the aeroplane rose from the
earth like majestic bird and scared
away in the heavens flying over the
CRY, sailing around in circles, diving
down low one moment and the next
dashing high in the air with perfect
ease, reminding one Of the flight of an
enormous eagle.
After remaining in the air 10 minutes
the aviator directed his biplane toward
the show grounds and landed safely at
the place of starting amid the cheers
of the multitude. The doors to the big
show were Immediately opened and the
mighty canvas was crowded by an en-
thusiastic crowd that filled every avail
able seat, and enjoyed the Wild West
performance from start to finish.
We can safely say that a more
pleased audience never left a place of
amusement in our city. Harrisburg

Courtesies of the Whist Club were
extended Tuesday night to members of
the Commercial Club. The Whist
Club has nice suite of rooms upstairs
in the Kennedy block. At first the
square room to the rear was considered
enough, but now the Club has extended
until it occupies all of the floor with
the exception of the dental parlors in
front. Upon entering at the head of
the stairway, you pass into the recep-
tion room, where comfortable chairs
await the visitor. Next comes the
card room, where the lover of whist
may try hand, or out in the big
parlor you may take a crack at bill
liards or pool. On the other side from
the reception and card rooms are the
gymnasium and rest rooms and back
farther are the bath and toilet rooms.
The Oakes Whist Club came into exist
ence some three years ago. The mem
bership is limited to. thirty, and the
roster is composed of live bunch of
good fellows. The purpose is the social
enjoyment of the members. The boys
had splendid luncheon for their
guests the other night. Had a whole
bushel, more or less, of fried chicken
and everything that goes with chicken
and the way few of US hungry fell
lows went after that was not slow.
The next morning the editor tried to
get in there for breakfast, but the
door was locked.
