"Masoue of Shakespeare" Profits Will Go to
 Orthopedic Fund

All that is needed to make the pro- duction of Dr. Louis Smirnow's com munity play great success is that the weather man be kindly disposed on the evenings of September IA. 15 and 16, when "The Masque of Shakes pears is to be, produced in Beardsley park. With the announcement that all surplus funds left after the legiti- mate expenses of the production have been paid are to be turned over to that most excellent project, the fund for an orthopedic clinic where chill dren crippled as a result of infantile paralysis can be treated free of charge, the hearty support of the pub lie is assured. This is a most worthy charity and anything that can be done to further its establishment is deserv- ing of commendation.
 The funds for this production which will he one of the lovcliest and most artistic spectacles ever seen in this city, are being raised through the sale of private boxes, and a certain number of reserved seats. In addi- tion to these will be seats for as many as care to attend which will be absolutely free. so that the pro- portion of the people who are so sit- uated as to be unable to afford a re- served seat, will be able to see the play. It is to be hoped that the sale of seats will be large, and not only insure a sum sufficient to put on the masque as it deserves to be presented. hut that a goodly sum will be left to devote to the orthopedic fund.

.B0MbARDIER
 WELLS A SOLDIER

Although he still fights with his 1lsts occasionally. for the benefit of the war relief funds, Bombardier Wells now does most of his scrapping with gun. The Bombardier will begin his 'thfrtieth year today. having been born on the last day of August in 1887. When the war broke out Wells did not immediately offer his services to his country, as he had three brothers wearing the uniform of the British army, and 1t was up to him to sup port their families as well as his own. 1t is said that he volunteered at once, but the recruiting authorities told him to go on boxing and support the four families dependent upon him. Wells lis an unusually sensitive chap, how swsr, and he couldn't long stand the strain of criticisms pointed at him, and in May. 1915. he enlisted as a private in a Welsh regiment. It isn't lt1a Bombardier's first experience of Isoidisring. as it was while he was in the army in India that he began box ing. Having won the army heavy weight championship. he bought his lrsIsass and turned professional.
 Considered as a successor of BrOugh- ton, Mendoza. Belcher, Cribb. Spring, 6aysrs. Mace. and other famous Eng lish heavyweight champions of the past. Wells is pretty much oS joke, but as an athlete, gent1eman and a citizen hs ranks among the best. Per- haps this explains why, although often lsfAatsd in the ring. he remains an idol of ths British boxing fans. while he hes q host of friends and admirers on this side of the Atnaltfc.
 Eugene Corri, the famous English yslsrss, who has had many opportuni- ties to study the Bombardfer in and out of the roped arena, declares that Wells is ''ths most remarkable char actor he has ever met. Tt is about us hard to measure Wells," says Corri,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-09-01

as 1t Is to measure ones own shadow.
 He is never twice the same. One day we prophesied great things for him, and were fairly up in the stirrups up- on having discovered a brilliant white
 nope; the next day we shook our heads, and almost shook our fists at him. The popularity of Wells has been remarkable all along his career, whether winning his fights or losing them. There is a mesmeric some thing or other about the Bombardier which makes the people like him per- sonally. In America he is as popular as any one of their, own men. They have not seen anybody so clever with his hands and on his feet since the days Of Corbett, and the Americans are very partial to scientific fighting"

He said the little pheasants were "doing nicely and sent the shells of the eggs from which they were matched as evidence that the birds are breeding in the wilds.
