Old Town High team. The following
PLAYERS will probably be taken on the
trip: Captain Elmer Thyng, George Den
mis-, Paul and Philip McGouldrick. Frank
Sprague and Victor McCourtney.
A meeting Of the Cony debaters was
held Thursday, presided over by Coach
Kinsey of Bowdoin. The team is con-
fident that it can make a good showing
against the strong Portland team in
this years debate, which is to be held
very soon.
Walter Brennan, the schools south
paw twirler, is going to help Coach
Thompson train the new pitchers for
see that the novices get started right.
The girls team from Skowhegan will
arrive this Friday afternoon for the
game with the Cony girls in the AS
sembly hall this evening. This game
should be one of the seasons best, for
the Skowhegan team is strong one.
and the Cony girls have been practic-
ing hard lately.
A very successful fire drill was held
in the High school building during the
fifth period Thursday. From the three
strokes CT the gong until the last pu-
pill left the building the time was just
under two minutes. which was consid-
cred entirely satisfactory by the prin-

decided to write war play, he was
advised by several of the theatrical
managers to leave the subject. he
decided, however, that the newspapers
and magazines wouldn't devote so
much of their space to the war unless
people were really interested.
Mr.. Megrue's assumption that the
theatre-g going public wanted a thrill

Work has been commenced by Chief
Engineer Hunt Of the Augusta fire de-
partment for the purpose of installing
a private fire alarm for several bust
ness houses of the city which are
equipped with the automatic sprinkler
system, those houses which will! have
the alarm being the Purinton build
ing, the Kennebec Journal building, the
Russell & Weston building and the
Fuller Holway building on the west
side of the river, and the w. H. Can
nett publishing house building on the
east side of the river. All Of these
buildings have been equipped with the
sprinkler system except the Purinton
building, and the men are now putting
in the system there. Chief Hunts crew
is engaged in stringing the wire, two
miles Of which will be required. and
while some of the other material, in
Guiding the fire alarm boxes, has not
arrived it is expected shortly, and 1t
is hoped to have the alarm completed
in about a month. Each Of the five
places mentioned will have box which

Of the box on a 10-inch gong in the

box on a punch register. which contriv-
ance is not unlike the ticker; in a stock
exchange. The introduction of the sys-
tenn will require the installation Of an
other switchboard in the battery room
in the basement Of the City building,
similar to but smaller than the switch
board of the general alarm system. 1t
is understood that the alarm system is
installed at the expense of the con-
Germs which have it but that it is main

CITY HALL.
The Wizards Supper-Novel Feature
Of Coming Magical Entertainment
Very Amusing and Mystifying.

Not for many years has Augusta
been visited by so noted a magician as
Laurant, who is coming to City hall
next Tuesday evening with his five
talented assistants. Acknowledged to
be the successor of the great Keller
and Hermann, he is without. doubt the
peer Of all living illusionists.
The performance differs from that
Of any ever seen in Augusta from the
fact that all the wonderful acts of
magic and illusions were originated by
Laurant.
His Wizards Supper" is especially
different from anything ever seen on
any stage. This beautiful act is with
out doubt one Of the cleverist ideas
ever produced by any magician. 1t
might be termed a magic demonstra-
ton Of domestic science.
The stage setting for this act is
unique; a banquet scene is represent
ed with the table arranged in a most
artistic manner-beautiful linen. cost
ly china and glassware. with odd
FURNISHED utensils to prepare the
feast.
