ORPHEO THEATRE.

Today-"The Enemes," Broadway Star feature, in three parts. is a pow erful story of the sea, featuring Harry Mercy. Edith Storey, Ned Finley and a strong cast of Vitagraphers.
 The Enemies" is grim, relentless bit of fiction with an interesting touch of mystery for two-thirds of its course. After that it continues to be grim and relentless as the captain sits in his cabin and gloats over the ap- preaching death of his greatest ene- my, whose death is deferred that he may be haunted and tortured by the memories of his brutal misdeeds.
 Harry Mercy is splendid in the lead ing role of the determined and brutal sea captain. while Edith Storey is fine in the part of the captains sister. who has descended from drinking cham pagne to begging drink of whiskey in the saloons.
 Also on this same program is good comedy by "Waddy" and 'Arty."

While the various sport events held so far at the Panama-Paclnc International Exposition have made The world sit up and take notlce, there is one part of the list to come which is attracting the attention of scme of the most prominent men m the United States and abroad. Ihis is the program of the harness races 2 to be held on the Exposition track Tn Juae. October and November. In arranging for these events the otfi- rials of the Panama Pacific Interna- tionai Exposition took a step that had never been taken by past uni- versal fairs and the move was one deserving great credit.
 Two meetings are scheduled. summer and fall schedule having been prepared. The first of these begins on June 5 and closes on June l9. The fall meeting opens on October 30 and runs until Novemoef l3 and the entry list to date shows that some of the greatest horses and drivers of the speedy sulky have tossed their hats into the ring fol all these dates. Twenty-four days o1 racing have been provided for by the Exposition officials and considering that such meetings would be wortf thousands of dollars to any Easterr track, the foresight of those who ar ranged the exposition schedule mus be appreciated.
 The prizes hung up are suffcien to attract the greatest drivers m th' world and have done so. For th' first meeting, which occupies clever days in June, there is approximate! s1iO. 900 to be distributed among tn winners of the thirty-three events

 The conditions drawn up for these races are extremely liberal and make the cost to the owner slight in comparison with the prizes offer ed. As the first day in April will see the close of all entries, 1t would be we'll for all, who have not already signified their intention of entering, to do so with all possible haste.
