An added attraction, which will be
OF local color will take place on the
fair ground tracks on Thursday and
Friday of this week. between the free
vaudeville acts and racing card, IT be-
ing exhibition of signaling and

Scout organization. Among those

ATTRACTION is A MYSTERY.
One of the exhibitions at the Lake
County Fair, that is attracting un-
usual attention is THE Shadow of the
Cross" This remarkable picture
which reflects a cruciform light has
been exhibited at three worlds fairs
and has been studied by thousands of
people for an explanation.
The Van Couver Daily World speak
ing of 1t says that it is "One of the
most phenomenal paintings ever exc
great a mystery. One feels that the
presence of the Almighty has taught
men through his Amounted Son."
The picture Will be on the grounds
today and tomorrow and has already
been seen by hundreds of fair visi-
tors.
SHE GOT RELIEF THERE.
Believing that THE TINES tent at
the fair grounds is a relief station in
more than one sense, Mrs. A NJ. Dick
of Chicago called there. to complain
about her purse having been stolen
by an attendant at one of the stands
THE TIMES representative hunted UP
Deputy Sheriff Fred Friedley telling
tn, lady that If any one could get re-
suits for her the amable deputy could.
Friedley placed the attendant under
arrest and "sweated'' him until he con-
fessed. He returned the purse and Mrs.
Dick not caring to prosecute the Gull
prit was dismissed.
THE RACES.
Yesterdays races at the fair while
not OVERRIDING 1t in speed, satisfied the
| crowd in exciting finishes in the nine
heats of the 235 trot and $500 trot
respectively. With eight starters in the
2:35 trot the field in two fine heats was
well blanketed and exciting heats in
each race prevailed.
| 1t looked like Helen Cares race
| from the start. the little bay mare
stepping off two heats in hardy fash
| ion but the game little troter evidently
spent herself in the first two heats for
she was nosed out in the remaining
three by Lady Maudes, Copeland's
| little black mare. This race proved the
most enjoyable of the days card. the
| fastest heat being 2:2311, with Lady
Maudes turning the trick
The pace, with four entrants, green
colts, was won by Billy Patch, the
brown gelding taking all the heats in
straightaway fashion after being nosed
| of by Deck Wright in the initial mill.
RACE OFFICIALS POPULAR.

AUTO PERILS GIRLS LIFE
| Only one accident occurred yesterday
to mar the doings at the Lake county
fair, and that turned out a great deal
better than was at first expected.
| While driving down a steep incline
with a high power Overland touring
car Charles Henderson accidentally
collided with a little girl of Fremont
Price. Mrs. Price also badly
bumped in attempting to save her lit

over the little girl neither wheel
striking her and she was pulled from
under the machine none the worse for
her perilous position and only harmed
by the first impact with the car.
| The outcome of the accident wos al
most miraculous and the throng wit

One of the most artistic displays to

which is exceedingly well arranged,
with a large photograph of Vice Presi-

Congressman John B. Peterson directly
below, and surrounding these on all
sides some of Lake county's best
people. These photographs are surely

Musical comedy in tabloid form will be

house, beginning this week. In the fu-
ture about one half of the lower floor
will be reserved for the first perform

FLONZALEY QUARTET
COME NEXT SUNDAY
Famous Chamber Band Drawing
Crowded Houses Everywhere.
Delightful Programme

The Flonzaley quartet-said to be
the greatest string quartet in the
world--will appear in Birmingham for
the first time next Sunday afternoon,
January 10, at the jefferson theatre
in programme of rare beauty. The
F'lonzaIeys draw crowded houses ev-
erywhere. In New York mere an
nouncement of their appearance Is suf-
ficient to cause box office rush.
An effort was made to bring the
Flonzaleys here two years ago but
without avail. Owing to their great
fame there is constant demand for
them in the .argest cities OF Europe
and America and consequently the or
ganization commands very high price.
Although there are only four in this
chamber band-first violin. second vio-
lin viola and cello-it costs almost as
much to secure them for a concert as
II does to employ a symphony orches-
ira of As or so men.

agreeable both for himself and for
the people whose theatrical destinies
he directs. The Frohman regime has
always been very successful. Charles
Frohman's name carries great weight
and to be "Frohman star" is the
ambition of countless theatrical folk,
who never see their dreams come true.
Frederick Warde, who is a great
favorite in the south, is at present
touring this part of the country with
motion picture reproduction of
"Richard Ill" Mr.. Warde accom-
panies the pictures with a lecture.
He has been on the lecture platform
for most of the time during recent
years and is thoroughly at home
there. 1t is possible that Mr.. Warde
will appear in Birmingham some time
this year and deliver his lecture on
Richard ILL., which will be doubly
interesting from the fact that Mr..
Warde acted Richard III' before the
moving picture camera.
1t is planned to present our old
friends, Mutt and Jeff" in Berlin,
as cartoon comedy" The chances
are that the "Mutt and Jeff" style
of entertainment would appeal more
strongly to Germans than the slang
of Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford" will
appeal to Londoners, when that typi-
cal American comedy is presented
across the water to our English
cousins. The German caricaturists
are wonderfully adept in their art and
the German people seem to take kind
ly to the kind of humor Mr.. Fisher
portrays in his sketches. The fun
niest comic pictures that are repro
duced in American newspapers and
periodicals are copied from German
contemporaries.
George M. Cohan is reported to
have given his press agent, Eddie
Dunno, check for $4,000 as Christ
mas present. 1t is presumed that the
check was "good" and was not cashed
with "stage money" Mr.. Cohan
probably knows the value of publicity
as we'll as any man in the theatrical
business, for he has been widely cx-
plotted. The latest report of Mr..
Cohan's retirement from the stage
was received with the proverbial grain
of salt, although the announcement
was credible, in view of the explana-
ton by which it was followed. Mr..
Cohan will not retire from the theatri-
cal business, but will contiue his
managerial duties, besides writing
new plays. Mr.. Cohan, now that he
is comfortably well off, seems to be
more seriously inclined than he was
at the beginning of his career as a
playwright and he may yet turn out
