The purchase implies the making Of

whether the supervisors should call

A GOOD SHOW BY
A GOOD COMPANY.
"Seven Hours in New York; at
The Grand Opera House Last
Night, Pleases Large Audience.

The performance of the musical
comedy, "Seven Hours in New
York." at the Grand Opera H5use
last night, was a complete success
and made quite hit with the large
audience which was present. There
was not a dragging minute from
the time the curtain arose until the
end of the performance, and every
minute was simply crowded with
enjoyment. The characters were
all well taken and the whole cast
was an excellent one. -
Dottie Leighton, as Viola
win, the maid, made a tremen
hit, possessing not only sple
voice, but being decidedly g q.
full as dancer. Fred BailyJ as
Lincoln Penny, from Springfield
Mass, was decided success, and
kept the audience in an uproar
while the many comical situations
resulting from the seven hours out
York were such that no one with
any sense of humor could help en-
joying the play.
The musical portion of the pro-
gram was of high class, both, men
and women possessing good vPices,
we'll trained and in perfect har-
mony. Fred. Wright, as Frank
Fuller, the valet; Will Herbert, as
Nifty, the chauffeur; Henry Alexan-
der, as Merrill Lee, the ex-brune
merchant; Viola Breen, his wife,
and Dorothy Brown, the trusting
little wife of Lincoln Penny, were
all good. In fact, it would Be
hard to get together cast OF
characters that would give more
pleasure and enjoyment in two
hours than that which occupied the
stage last evening.

FAVOR NEW HOCKEY RULE
Experts Think Six Men Teams
Would Improve Game.

The opinion prevails in hockey circles
that rhe skinner playing rule VIII De
adopted by the American Amateur
Hockey League when that organization
meets on November 10 at the ST. Nicholas
Rink to arrange the details of the forth
coming season. and to adopt schedule
of games.
The difficulty in developing experts 10
fill the vacancies on the teams caused by
the withdrawal from time to time OF the
veterans of the game, and the announce
ment of the return of the Wanderers
Club and the demand that will be made
for the return of It's old players, sthl
further complexities matters.
James O'Brien, the manager who or
ganized and coached the Irish American
A. c. team last season. says that six
men teams will be the salvation OF the
game.
Even new players that we get from
across the border are, for season or
two, an unknown quantity he SAYS
They come here with great regulations,
and undoubtedly in familiar environment
are skilful players, but here the condi-
lions are unfamiliar In the first place,
they have to play on artificial ice, which,
as any skater will tell you, is a great
deal more difficult than playing on the
natural Ice TO which they are accus-
toned.
Then il takes a season or two 10
farniliarize themselves with their new
teammates, especially II the latter are
locally developed players.
In Canada where hockey is the ma
tional game, so TO speak, the Kinks are
larger than ours and the seventeen
teams are practicable Here with four
teen players and four officials on the ice
the surface is crowded and the players
are in each others way, jostling ana
elbowlng each other, which Is irritating
and disconcertng. to say the least win
six men the game will be faster. cleaner
and more spectacular, and l am heartily
in favor of the change"
