FIyino Boat at Atlantic Raaeh

One week ago the Norwich and Westerly Traction company advertised a novelty for this section of the state. Jack Tweed was to make flights in his hydroplane at Atlantic Beach, Be- cause of an accident to the machine, MT Tweed was unable to fulfill his en- gagement and the flights had to be abandoned.
 The company have arranged, how ever, for other flights to be made, one this afternoon and two on Sunday af- ternoon. This time it is Steve Nc Gordon and William Thaw with their flying boat. They have been making some very successful flights, alone the shore, and in New Haven alone made 42 flights in a single week. Thursday they were at Watch Hill and had no trouble whatever about getting away eye witnesses reporting the flights as very beautiful ones.
 MeSsrs. McGordon and Thaw will take up passengers who wish to go and have the price. It is said that the price is $15 for Is minutes.
 They will also make three exhibi- tion flights, one at 3.30 this afternoon, and the other two at 230 and at 3.30 tomorrow Sunday afternoon.
 Flying machines are not yet common in this vicinity and flying boats are even less common. These gentlemen are masters of their art and the op- to see their flights is one which should be availed of by all the up-to dates. Take the Westerly car; it goes through to the beach.

STOP THIEF COMING TO THE

Stop Thief is a farce by Carlyle Moore produced originally at the Gai- ety theater, New York city, where it established a laughing record that has not been equalled in 20 years
 Two kleptomaniacs and a real crook start all the fun in Stop Thief Can you imagine a funnier situation than this? The kleptomaniacs nislay things and the crook nips them for 'keeps.'
 So perfect is the illusion of Stop Thief that half the audience feel un- consciously for their valuables. while the other half think of calling for the police, and when any play of any sort rreates that illusion the chief end of dramatic art is attained.
