The June Is Races
at Augusta Park.

AS the time for action approaches.
interest in next Wednesdays meet at
Capital park, Augusta, is obviously on
the increase. Never before in the month
of June has there been anything like
the list of horses which will score for
the word in each of the five classes.
A spirit of intense rivalry between
the owners of the horses in several of
the classes insures the very hardest
kind of racing and Manager Hanks
predicts that 25 heats viii be neces-
sary to determine a winner in the five
classes. For this reason the bell will
ring at l o'clock and the whole show
is expected to be finished by sun
down.
Pope MeKinnons string of four
horses will arrive Monday; Charles
Pomerleau's string of three will be
driven down Sunday as also will Chas.
Simpsons great PAGER, Dan s. Pot
tie will send his string over from Lew
iston on the electrics Monday and +.
f. Walker of Monmouth will ship with
him
BY Tuesday noon not less than IS
horses will be quartered a. the Capital
Driving park and there is new, com
Portable stall waiting for each one. one
Of the largest crowds ever attracted to
a June race is expected and Manager
Hanks is prepared to entertain them
in q manner that will cause them TO
make return visit.
The strong Gardiner ball team which
will represent that city in the Trolley
League will undertake to break the
winning streak pursued by the Hanks
Wonders, during the afternoon at the
park. This feature will prove big
attraction, as the Hanks team VIII be
as follows: Jackson c. K. Fuller LIST,
Hanks I'd, Gregoire left, Wandtke 30.
Douglas short, Hendee center, Thomp-
son or Cooper right, Harvey or Nc
Naughton p. Such a team will surely
play some ball and Gardiner will need
to bring the strongest aggregation
available if they wish to make score
Wednesday will surely be great day

NEW PALAIS ROYAL PLAY
Tristan Bernard's LIE Petit
Cafe" Best He Has Written.


Paris. oct. LIE Petit cafe" a de-
liciously comic three-act farce brimful
of fun. frolic and friyolty with delicate
strains of sentiment and pathos, was
produced this week at the Palais Royal
Theatre with great success. 1t is the
best play yet written by Tristan Ber-
nard, the Partisan humorist.
The proprietor of a small cafe. who is
a widower with charming daughter,
learns secretly that his genial waiter has
inherited a fortune of 100000 from
distant and eccentric relative. While
the waiter is still ignorant Of his wind
fall the proprietor persuades him TO sign
a contract obliging him 10 remain twenty
years as waiter in the cafe, the party
breaking the agreement to pay the other
s. 1000 damages. As soon as the news
reaches him the waiter naturally wishes
TO throw up his job but his employer
holds him TO the contract Unwilling to
hand over the $4,000. the waiter makes
frantic efforts 10 make the proprietor
dismiss him. The scenes with customers
are highly amusing. Moreover, the
waiter. who serves in the cafe from :
o'clock in the morning until midnight, is
transformed into a gay and gorgeous
man about town from midnight till :
q. m Wildly fantastic episodes ensue
and finally a happy solution is reached
by the wealthy walters marriage with
the proprietor's pretty daughter
This vaudeville comedy reflects with
irresistible irony the pranks and ex-
pl"its Of the American and French Gus
TONERS Of all-night Partisan cafes. 1t is
capitally played by lie Ga"o as The
water by German, by Mile. Lavigne
and a first rate Palais ROYAL company.
