Tuesday Evening".

With the sound of the music Of
the afternoon still ringing in their
ears \ the crowd started gathering
early and long before the program
started the tent was filled to the ut
most. Although rain threatened yet
Il they could not afford to MISS this
rare musical treat which later de-
veloped into one of the rarest treats
that Manchester has ever enjoyed.
N The concert was opened by the
band rendering in the finest man
ner possible the Wedding March
from Tannhauser, which was greet
ed by burst of applause. This
was followed by an Overture by
Roskiska.
Mr.. Boucher next appeared and
sang 'Then You'll Remember Me"
and the audience already enthusiast
tic by his previous appearances, re-
sponded heartily to his efforts. De-
spite the rain that was falling and
making considerable noise on the
canvas yet his powerful voice could
be heard clearly. This was follow
ed by selection from 'Rigolet-
to" by the quartette which COM
pleted the first half of the evenings
program.
After a short intermission the
grand opera singers presented three
acts Of Verdi's II Trovatore. This
was given with special scenery and
beautiful costumes and was some
thing of class that doesn't grace
Manchester very often. The fol-
lowing singers composed the sex
tette: Miss Lillian Rodgers, So
prano; Miss Eleanor Fitz, soprano;
Miss Ida Schee, controlto; Mr.. AID
rich, tenor; Mr. Max Bling, baritone;
Mr.. Boucher, tenor. The program
was closed by beautiful rendi-
tion from Lucia and the grand fl
male by the band.
Wednesday Afternoon.
The task of pleasing an audience

The morning lectures that took
place every morning at ten o'clock
and were conducted by Mr.. Roy i.
Smith were better attended than
these lectures usually are and those
that did not attend missed something
well worth hearing. Mr.. Smith is
probably the youngest lecturer on
the platform but his youth was con-
fined only to years for his dis

on vital and important subjects and
he dealt with them in a fashion that
gives credit to himself and manag-

as the original sheet OF special num-
ber five account maintained at a
National bank in Washington, D. O..
by Frank Morrison, secretary of the A.

The document was presented to the
court by H H. Flather, cashier of the
Washington bank, who was put on
the stand late yesterday afternoon
after Bert H. Franklin, star witness
for the state, had been temporarily ex-
cused until today In calling for
Flather, the state announced that 1t
expected to prove that the money
which, 1t alleges, Clarence S. Darrow
used to bribe jurors during the Nc
Namara trial. last fall, came from the
Mcnamara defense fund raised by the
American Federation of Labor. The
state added that 1t had no intention
of duplicating Samuel Gompers or
other Federation of Labor officials per-
sonally in the alleged bribery.
Accused Gompers.
The case is rapidly approaching a
climax and number Of sensations are
expected before the conclusion of the
Testimony OF Bert Franklin. This
witness yesterday threw the cour'
room into a state of high excitement
