M|AKAD0 SCORES . IN SECOND ACT
Production by the Boston Ideal Opera Company Pleases Capacity. Audi ence With Tuneful Songs and Clean Humor

If capacity houses at the Empress theater were enthusiastic over the presentation of the first act of the Gilbert x Sullivan comic opera, The Mikado,' as presented earlier in the week, those who witnessed the second act, as given by the Boston Ideal Opera company last evening, were that the grandfathers and grand mothers of today saw The Mikado" as the children of yesterday, the tuneful opera seemed as fresh and clean and mirth- provoking as though it were essentially a more modern production.
 The Boston Ideal company is ad- mirably adapted for this particularly pleasing and amusing light opera. And in the casting of the individual members in the various roles, no mistake has been made It seemed that each was particularly fitted for his or her work. With the exception of a faulty line or two in the first presentation of the act last night, which did not occur in the second, there was absolutely nothing to mar the completeness and effectiveness of the production. It is well cOstumed and elegantly staged,
 As the Mikado, W. F. Quisenberry was exceptionally good. Miss Nellie Andrews is as vivacious, pretty and loVable a Yum Yum as ever appeared before the footlights. Her affair with Nanki Poo, for which part Henry Gunson is cast, captivated the audi ence. F. o. Burgess never appeared to better advantage than as Pooh Bah, and A C. Burgess was all that could be desired as Kollo, the Lord High Evecutioner, Miss Arloine An drews acquitted herself with credit admirably acting the part of Katisha an elderly lady. Robert Burgess is good as Pish Tush, and Miss Stella Quinsberry and Miss Kitty Gebler as Pitt Sing and Peep Bo, are exceed 1 ingly good.
 | The hits of the evening, those old time songs, I'm Going to Marry Yum i Yum and "The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring, Tra-La," brought en- i cores that required returns of the en- 1 tire company several times. Alto- , gether, it is a most admirable produc- tion, and will continue two nights more.

There are several things now occu- pying the attention of the motorcycle fans of this dear city.
 The Elliott benefit
 The Baker Johns race.
 The Caliente run.
 The Elliott benefit will be staged at the Carnival motOrdrome Saturday afternoon and night. Every member of the club has been asked and most of them have taken tickets to sell for the benefit The price is two bits, or the quarter part of a silver simoleon, and who was hurt to make a Phoenician holiday last Sunday. In addition, all the motorcycle shops have signs up prepared by l.. F.. Weyand of the EX- celsior agency-announcin the benefit and asking subscriptions. Quite a few bandages, bottles of medicine and Qth- CT medical attentions can be bought and paid for with the money that is rolling in. Manager Mills of the mo- tordrame says he will have his two fast tubs tuned to even greater speed for the benefit performance and in ad- dtion will have some of the local rid CTS circling the saucer.
 EllieWilsOn, Harrison Williams, Lo- renZO BOidO are riders who have been on the big tub in preparation for the races Saturday night. Some stock machines have been put on the boards with sue cess and speed enough
 As to the Baker Johns race, it is as before. The offer of the Auto club stands, and Johns is in Los Angeles consulting with that mysterious per sonality, Whitesell, about the race. Ba- ker has already accepted and will have his fast Indian ready in plenty of time for the trial.
 After having put the bath provision in the Caiente endurance run bill John Hohl has been observed meditating what other and extra sort of devilment hecan plan for the riders He will prob ably propose a manicure, hair cut, shave, shine shampoo and rub down for the boys who enter the 21O-mile grind.

PRESbYTER|AN'S ID BUILD ANEW
 FOR sl000,000
Decision Reached at Enthu- siastic Meeting of Congre- gation Last Night = To Build oh Third Avenue and Van Buren

At a meeting of the congregation
 of First church last evening, Phoe-
 nix Presbyterians voted to build a
 $100,000 church edifice and chose
 committee to at once undertake the
 work of financing the project The
 new building will be erected on the
 liew site already owned by the
 church at the corner of Third Ave
 hue and Van Buren Street, and actual work of construction is to be-
 gin next fall
 For several years the Presbyterians have been cramped for room in their
 present church building at Third Avenue and Adams Street and in spite of enlargements and additions from time to time, the need of larger building that will be better suited to the needs of the congre gation has been increasingly evi dent. With this aim in view the new site was bought four years ago. While plans for the new building have not yet been adopted, the mem bers were unitedly in favor of a structure that will not only be adopted to present needs, but also accommodate the rapidly increasing number of Presbyterians who live in Phoenix Believing that the growth of the city warrants it. full provi- sion will be made for a membership of 1500 or more and for an enlarged Sunday school and other organiza = tions splendid pipe organ will be another feature of the new church. Three members of the committee ! chosen last night are: Dr. Geo. M. | Broadway, Hon. Lewis T. Carpenter
 and A. C. Dodge. Other members will be added to the committee later | from the session, the trustees and other organizations of the church. This committee will at once take up | the matter of raising starter of at least S4O,000, and will bring the lmatter before the entire congrega- 1 tion at an early date.
