The prices of the stalls were pro
visionally raised from $40 to 50, and
the usual charges which more than
made up the difference-the program
cloak room charge. ten per cent poor
tax and the tip to the ouvreuse-were
abolished.
Although the public was saved an
immense amount of annoyance and
red tape by the simplification, the
only thing it was able to realize was
that the price of seats had increased
As a result the sales have fallen

to the old system and its incon-

prefer.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Astrue of the
Champs Elysees theater has pub.
lished the total receipts of the new
playhouse for the first month of its
existence. These amount to s59,15O,
which, 1t is asserted, makes a record
in this country. 1t is understood,
however. that the figure includes the
subscriptions paid for seats during
the whole season.

After Four Years Absence from
Soccer Field Punahou Elects
Captain and Forms Team.
0From Wednesday Advertiser.


George Quintal was yesterday morn
elected captain of the Punahou soccer
team at Oahu College. This is the first
time in four years that Punahou has
entered team in this sport. When
Kamehameha agreed to play football
this year there was sort of an under
stahding made that punahou would
come out with soccer team, and this
it will do.
The collegians will naturally be han
dicapped through the fact that not
more than three or four men in the
school have played the game before. but
this was the predfeament in which
hamchameha players found themselves
at the beginning of the football season.
However, IL Irmahou makes us good a
showing at soccer as the cadets made
in football, the former will have no
reason to regret entering a team
Aside from the lack of experienced
players Punahou has no coach who has
done much in this game, but Frank f..
Midkiif, who turned out championship
football team, saws he will take the soc
Ger squad in hand and do what he is
able to do in the coaching line. There
are two men Mt PunahOu who have
played considerable soccer in the past.
These are George Quintal, the captain
of the eleven, and Ernest Gay, a fast
player who has had several years ex-
perience. Beside these men, Punahou
has a number of men from among
whom, on account of their weight and
speed win be able to qualify, so there
should he no great difficulty in obtain
ing eleven players who will be able to
hold their own with Mckinley or Kane
hamcha.
Practise starts this afternoon at
Punahou and Judging from the number
of men who attended the meeting yes
terday, there should be large turnout.
1t is so close to the Christmas vacation
that nothing much, however, will be ac.
complished this term. but as the series
win open Immediately after the holt
days, u hardfoueht championship is
