PENSACOLA, AND TICKET
SALES WERE REPORTED VERY
LARGE LAST NIGHT.

It was stated last night that as
many as two hundred passengers will
go to Mobile today, for the st. Pat
rick's Day celebration in that place.
A cheap rate of 50 for the round trip
has been offered, and last night quite
a number had arranged their affairs
to spend the day in the Alabama city,
their tickets expiring this evening.
1t was believed that a special would
have been operated out of Pensacola
had there been one hundred tickets
sold, but there is such a convenient
schedule daily, between this city and
Mobile that this idea was not thought
feasible one. Extra accommodations
viii be put on train No. 6, leaving
at $3.50 o'clock this morning, to re-
turn at $40 o'clock this evening. but
tickets may be used on any Of the
trains out of Mobile, and some con-
template returning on train No. 1
thus having an opportunity to spend
but three or four hours in Mobile.

BASKETBALL GAME
WAS INTERESTING

Last night the intermediate class
basketball team defeated the team
from the Employed Boys class in an
intensely interesting game before a
small crowd at the Y. NJ. C. A. The
Intermediates outclassed the working
boys in goal shooting, and had a
shade the better in passing, but the
game fight put up by the night boys
quite equalled that of their opponents.
Vaughn scored seven field goals for
the Intermediates, with Olsen shoot
ing four. HUMPHREYS Jeudevine shot
two of the employed boys three goals.
The final score was 50 to 5. The line
ups follow:
Intermediates-Jas. Vaughn, Willie
Fauria and Carroll Hoffman, for
wards; Gerson Mayer, center; John
Geist and Alex Olsen, guards.
Employed Boys-Ray Freidricksen,
JOS. Washington, Roy McVoy and John
Rogers, forwards; HUMPHREYS Jude

Gallager, guards.

CROWD PRESENT TO.
HEAR GOOD QUARTET
THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT
WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED IN
EXPECTING TO HEAR SOME
THING OF HIGHCLAsS ORDER.

On last Monday evening the largest
audience to attend Lyceum attrac-
ton this season greeted the dunbar
Male Quartette and Bell Ringers. The
expectant assembly was not d'sap-
pointed. Tt was held n rapt attention
for nearly two hours, and there was
general sigh of regret when the
program was finished.
The Dunbars are artists of the very
highest and best type. They fully
lived up to their reputation in PEN
sacola. and nothing but words of
praise and commentator of this most
excellent number has been heard
from those who were in attendance.
It was announced from the platform
that the next regular number of the
Lyceum Course would be Judge Al
den on April 18th. Judge Alden will
doubtless Command the largest hear
ing of the season. His lecture will
particularly appeal to the business
and professional people of the city.
Announcement was also made that
arrangements had also been completed
whereby holders of season tickets
might attend the lecture of Charles
Lane to be given in Armory Hall on
next Monday evening. Mr.. Lane is
well known to the Pensacola public,
and as humorous lecturer he is in
class all by himself. It has been
said Of him that he could make a
wooden man laugh.

ground on both sides or the River
Somme in last nights fighting. Dis
patches from British headquarters
this afternoon announced the appear
ance of German units from the Yer

of the River Somme. The news was
regarded as vastly more important
than the French and British official
statements reporting further gains in
most furious fighting last night.
How many German troops have
been transferred from Verdun Is not
yet known. But British military men
declared tonight that the Allied Of
fensiye already has succeeded In one
Of its objects. the tightening of the

held that the shifting Of troops from
