Amateurs in "A Fisherman's Luck

The four act comedy drama, "A Fisherman's Luck ,n is under rehearsal by the T. A. X E. society and promises to be an entertainment of high order. The piece is full of heart interest inter- spersed with vein of comedy.
 The scenes are laid on the coast of Maine. The hero is a young fisherman while the heroine is an heiress, but this is unknown to her as her guardian has kept the knowledge from her and plans to marry her to his son. The schemes of these arch plotters seem to be pro- gressing favorably but soon right pre- vails, the hero and heroine come into their own and live happily ever after. The cast has been carefully selected. Miss Flynn, as the heroine, has -> peared in many dramas av1 "p versed in histrionic a., ,"nn I,,u as S.Ss he, makes an excellent. .a."

 The resolutions which were adopted unanimously endorsed President Taft for renomination, declaring that he had kept his oath, "revered and de- fended the constitution, enforced the laws and obeyed them himself" that he had always "wisely and law abid- ingly" conserved the country, natural resources, had instituted large and carefully thought out economies in governmental expenditure, had striven to put the tariff on scientifically sound basis, and had urged congress to assist him in carrying civil service re- form to it's logical conclusion.
 "The country" the resolutions con- tinue, "has dwelt in peace under his vigilant and sagacious management of its affairs. No president since Abra- ham Lincoln has accomplished more for the permanent good of the people than Taft has done in less than four gears"
 They conclude: "Fully believing that the best interests of the country, no less than those of the party, require President Taft's renomination, the re- publicans of Connecticut in state con vention assembled instruct their dele gates at large to vote at Chicago ac- cordingly.n

.LATON|A WILL HAVE
Is DAYS OF RACING
General Manager Hachmeister
Decides That the Meeting
Shall Not Be Extended.

Latonia viii run twenty-four straight
days, beginning on Decoration day, May
30, and close On June 26. This plan
was agreed upon by General Manager
Hachmeister after carefnlly consider
ing all angles Of the matter. The Rae
ing commission granted Latonia the
privilege of running twenty-four days,
and gave it thirty-one days In which
to do 30, in order that July big day
might be taken in. If Latonia had
followed its first inclination to string
the meeting out to July 4, 1t would
have necessitated laying up for seven
days. Several plans to bring this about
were suggested. One being that there
be no racing on Monday or Friday, and
smother was to lay off on the days on
which there was a conflict with the
baseball team Hachmeister spoke to
MANY of the horsemen at Lexington
about the matter and to others and then
decided that it would be best for. all
concerned TO run the twentyfour days
and then close down. The horsemen
did not relish the idea of having. two
or three off days in which to loaf about,
and 1t is doubtful if many stables would
have stayed here to run off the big
stake on July f. In order to satisfy
everyone Hachmeister decided to run
through the allotted time and close.
