PUCCINI'S "TOSCA"
AT METROPOLITAN
Farrar, Martinelli and Scott in
Performance of Unusual
Merit.
4 WORD ABOUT SCARPlA

The first performance Of Puccinrs
"Tosca" at the Metropoit n Opera House
last evening must serve as the occasion
of some critical comment Of the kind
which is imperatively demanded. Three
personages carry the action of this lyric
drama. namely Toscd, Mario Ca udrddossI
and Scdrpid. The power which moves the
whole machinery OF the play is the last
named of tn. three. People talk much
about Miss Farrar's Toscd and say less
about the Scdrpid of Mr.. Scott The re-
verse should be the case.
This is not because Miss Farrars Toscd
is not meritorious. but because Antonio
Scottt's ScGrpid il one of the most notaeIe
inpersonations which have been seen on
the operate stage in many years MT
Scotu has been long in tho metropolitan
opera House. Some people are tired OF

ACCIDENTS
Occur To Knox County
Drivers
In A Race At Hartford On
Thursday

The 2:4O pace at the Hartford fair
Thursday proved to be "joner" for
several of the drivers concerned, acci-
dents being numerous, though not OF
any serious consequence.
Richard Wilson of Fredericktown
seemed to be driving under the worst
luck. Practically at the start of the
race, his horse swerved and threw one
ct the wheels of the bike up the bank,
upsetting Wilson, who escaped mar
rowly from serious injury In the third
heat, Wilson's horse, Billy II, stumbled
and fell, throwing Wilson out, who, by
some chance, alighted on his feet He
stepped quickly to the side, thus dodg-
ing w. o. Korns of this city, who was
driving Donald G. Korns could not
avoid the smash-up and was thrown
from his bike, his horse running driv-
.erless around the track. Korns had his
legs bruised somewhat, but escaped
from further injuries.
In this same 2:40 pace, another
horse, Joe Wilkes, driven by McClin-
took of Centerburg, fell and threw his
driver out. Finally, to cap all, three
of the bikes in this same third heat
came in to the finish with tires either
missing or loose.
