Tango dance and the Dallas dip. That
it will prove to be the tabloid event Of
the season was evidenced by the reception
accorded the company and the produc-
ton.
In completeness of detail, scenery and
costuming, in the thoroughness with
which the operas s tuneful gems are en-
phasized the production ranks with the
best ever offered here. 1t is no surprise
that audiences all over the south have
packed the theatres to see the Juvenile
Opera company in "Pinafore Riddles, -
and enjoyed it immensely.
Master Nelson as Sir Joseph Porter is
easily the leader of the band. He is one
of the most capable of the diminutive
players seen here in long time, and
is perfectly at home in a very important
part. In addition to singing several songs
in the opera he is featured in a speciality
between the acts in which he scored
heavily His songs show ability as well
as a clear, masterful voice for a young
man of his age. Jerome Tobn's fine
tenor voice was used to advantage in
several numbers, he being the Ralph
Rackstraw of 'Pinafore,' able seaman,
and he was particularly fine in the IA
nous song Farewell My own" Edward
Lambert proved to be one of the most
popular members of the cast both as
Dick Deadeye, in which he sings several
songs. and in the speciality between acts

well. Mr.. Lambert is genuine comedian.

As to the vaudeville bill, the unani-

of the bill was that of the Equili Brothers,

perform a dozen different stunts, and
every one of them Is original, difficult
and sensational feats

once more the search-lights flared out
around the track and transformed 1t
to q silver ribbon, running between
walls of ebony darkness except where
the lamp-gemmed stands arose. AL
ready newspapers were being cried
announcing Stanton's coming victory.
Driving evenly, steadily, refusing
all challenges to speed duels and at
tempting none Of his deadly tactics of
the night before, Stanton piloted his
car to the inevitable result. At nine
o'clock the flag dropped, and amid a
hubbub Of enthusiasm the Mercury
crossed the line, winner.
Later, when the triumphant tumult
in the Mercury camp had somewhat
subsidized, Stanton walked over to
where Floyd was leaning against a
column Of unused tires.

"Yes."
"You know-oh, can tune up

The Road to Massachusetts,.

Stanton and Floyd did not meet
again for fortnight. Their ways of
life did not run parallel except when
a race was due or taking place. The
Mercury car had gone back to the
factory for a thorough overhauling,
after the twenty-four-hour grind, and
it would have as soon occurred to
Stanton to seek out his machine as
his mechanician Some drivers grow
sentimentally attached to their cars,
watching them fondly and jealousy;

1t was in the railroad depot, the
morning he started for Massachusetts,,
that Stanton saw his mechanician for
the first time since the Beach victory.
Floyd was seated on one Of the wait

Suddenly Stanton put his finger on

made this p1echaniciap different; and
voiced his thought before considering
wisdom.
You're a different class, Floyd" he
stated abruptly. You're no workman,
nor descendant of workmen."
Floyd stared. startled at the brusk

straight, direct smile as he met the
keen gaze.
