Featured by Professionals.

Among the professional talent the new
songs, fetchingly sung, by Miss Pauline
Josef and those of the noted cabaret trio,
Goldrick, Moore and Kleise, each OF
whom sang solos, were effective numbers
that carried insistent encores. George
O'Connor and Roland Rodrick made the
hall ring with characteristic songs and
led the assemblage In singing the popular
airs of the day. while solos, warmly APP
plauded were. also sung by j. Frank
Duggan Melville Hensey and Thomas A.
Murray. Arthur MAXWELL, a local Or
cnestra leader. played a number of Sc
lections on the piano which received
warm approval, and also played the ac-
commandments for the professionals.
A characteristic ballad of the evening,
sung to the air of THE Old Oaken Buck
et." by the Schubert Quartet, ran as
follows:
How dear to our hearts is Il we'll loaded table,
4 menu in French which We don't uuders tand.
Where we sit down and ill up while we're
On things we don't know, baked and boiled,
fresh and canned.
We don't get them home, or at least We don t
Young weston's the fellow that's putting it
But what al want, and were right here to
show IT..
Is, give us more feeds and more frequently, too.
Reminder by "Chimmie Fadden."
An address reminiscent of his newspa-
per days in the far west which bristled
with humor was delivered by Representa-
tive Edward W. Townsend of New Jer-
sey author of the famous "Chimmie
F'adden" stories.
John J. German fold a number of Irish
stories that set his audience in roars of
laughter, responding later with encores
in the coon dialect. A parody on
The Wearing of the Green" sung by
George OConnor, paid its compliments
| to the "growler legislation of the ex-
| else board and to the calling off of the
| inaugural ball.
Throughout the evening, which was one
| of pleasant merriment and music, or
| chestral numbers OF popular and claS-
| steal selections were woven into the pro-
! gram.

Herbert &. Reynolds. general diret.-

John II. Richards in the south park

scheme for Il basketball tournament
in his organization that for originality
and a%daptability has passed everything

Is Il continuous tournament instead or
having it terminate in Il few weeks.
The indoor game will begin Jan. ) in
the parks. and every week thereafter
until March 80 will he replete with
basketball.
Here is how it is to he done: The
eleven parks are set into two groups.
those north of SiNty-third street and
those south of that thorouyhfare. These
groups are known as the north and the
south sections. In the first division are
six parks-Mark White square. Armour
square. Fuller park. Davis square. Cor
nell square and sherman park. The
five south division Fairgrounds are Og-
den park. Hamilton park. Palmer park.
Russell square and Bessemer park.
For the opening week of play the
n~inety-five pound grammar school class
will have its inning. h six north di-
vision teams to play at Davis square
and the quintet of southrons to meet
at Russell square. \ regular tournn-
ment drawing will be made ut each OF
the two parks and the elimination
process used in play for the week
through the semitinals. leaving two
teams in each division, four alto%ether.
