MATINEE EXCURSIONS" :"

The matinee excursions on the steamer Park City to Port Jefferson, N r.. just across the Sound, make ideal summer trips during the month of August This trip is greatly en- loved and makes a profitable way to spend an afternoon, giving one the benefit of the cool sea breezes. The sail on the Sound lasts an hour and a half each way and one hour and thirty minutes are allowed as a etop-over at Port Jefferson, thus giving one an op- sportunity- of viewing this old ship building town. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:30 daily, arriving in this city at D. m. on the return trip. No pleas anter way to spend a half days outing near home.

 The Paul J. Rainey famous African Hunt in motion pictures will be the attraction at the Park Theatre, Aug. s11-I2-13, with daily matinees for a return engagement The pleasure of hunting big game in the very heart of widest Africa is denied to most of us; yet even keener enjoyment can be had watching these marvellous pictures of that far-off country and it's. strange people and animals.
 One series of pictures alone would justify all the expense and trouble that were gone to, the pictures of the wild animals at the, water hole. Here they came in an endless proces- sion. from the smallest antelope to the largest mammal. and strange to relate perfect anity existed among them all.

heavy dew on the leaves prevented
all injury when the frost formed.

Fagin heard them coming ard took
his boots from the table. and sat up
straight in his chair: the preacher
pushed his back until half concealed

eyes threatened.
