This Is the only organiza ton TO which
Mr.. Elias Day has given the use Of
his name as coach and director. The
members of this company have banded
themselves in a business organiza ton
in the form of a joint stock company,
thus insuring sta ability and continued

yearly under Mr.. Days direction. and
offer to the public entertainments of
purpose, variety and thoroughly arts

scenes from famous plays are the most
famous and vital: the humor c'ean
and wholesome; the singing above re-

and preparing the original sketches for
the company, Mr.. Day has produced
some of the best work Of his long and

that the Cambridge Players had beer
substituted by the lyceum managemcnt

This looked like the Cambridge

mighty stiff oposition-something
like this: Now. Sc here, you Cam

to come to this town; we don't know a
thing about you; you may be all right,
but we wanted to hear Wilbur Starr.
This big audience has come to hear

TOWNSVILLE AND INTERMED-
late PoINTS-LARGE CROWDS
CAME UP FROM MILTON BY
STEAMER.

More than 500 excursionists, many
sacola, arrived over the Deep Water
Route yesterday morning and seem
ingly spent twenty-four hours of un-
interrupted pleasure.
1t was the first excursion given by
the new i'd the G., F. & A. from its
northern terminus, Jonesville, to the
Deep Water City. 1t was a delightful
trip and nothing occurred during the
day to detract from the pleasure of
the happy hearted excursionists.
On leaving Jonesvil1e the train, con-
Sisting of ten coaches was well filled,
but at each stop made there were a
number to board the train. At McKin-
nonville, Buckeye, Barrineau Park and
intermediate stations the crowded
coaches were augmented by many
pleasure seekers.
1t was the first time that many of
the excursionists had ever had an OPP
portunity of taking a trip over the
road and seeing Pensacola. The eX-
sonal supervision of Gen1 Passenger
Agent vikings and every courtesy and
attention was extended them.
On arrival, the excursionists scat
tered in every section of the city,
visiting the various points of inter
est. The street cars were literally
patronized, a large number going to
Barrancas and the bayous. The NOV
ng-picture theatres were also well at
tended. When the time for the de-
parture of the train arrived the depot
was thronged with as happier crowd
who ever visited the Deep Water City.
Excursion From Milton.
About 200 excuprsionists also came
UP from Milton on the steamer Bald
win and spent the day across the bay,
indulging in various sports. They re-
port having spent a most delightful
day, returning at Z o'clock last even
