played a nine from the Orleans shops
on local grounds Saturday and were
defeated by score of II to 6. The

The dance at LIE Beau Lac Boat
club Friday night was poorly attended,
there being other attractions on the
same night, which interfered with the
attendance. If the dances are to be
continued at the club house during the
season. we must all help to make them
a success. A project to give an "old
folk" dance is we'll under way. and it
should have the support of all the
club members and friends.

made and on Broadway, New York
where it ran several weeks at the
, Vitagraph theatre it showed to capacity
houses, with dollar admission. These
features which the management pro
poses to put on from time to time, will
be just as good and in fact the same
photoplays that you could ordinarily
find only in the large towns and cities
