Purses of $1,000 each will insure some of the classiest sport ever seen on a half mile track. A lot of money has i1een spent on the platform show this year.

 Co., the worlds greatest opponents of bicycle riding; Dare Devil Oliver, the worlds greatest high diver; Tango Duo, showing all the latest dances, and several other high class attractions.

POPULAR LECTURES,

Referring to his visit to Norwich last fall, when he lectured at Slater haJ, President Faunce of Brown uni yersity wrote: Rarely have I found in any New England city so many clear signs of intellectual life and wide circle of interests as I found in Nor wich." In recognition of this fact, a series of five lectures, known as the Slater hall course of popular lectures, has been arranged for this fall This course has been carefully selected with view to maintaining the high stand ard of excellence already established. While the idea of university extension has been closely adhered to, two de- partures from this general policy have been made in the interests of securing course better balanced than ever be- fore.
 The strict censorship of the mails by the British authorities has so delayed correspondence that 1t is impossible to announce at this time the subject of the lecture by Mrs. Jessica Lozier Payne. who is at present in England
 The career of Dr. Charles F. Aked has been 0 most extra ordinary one. Born and reared in England, Dr. Aked achieved such prominence as a minis ter that be was extended 3 call by the Fifth avenue Baptist church of New York city. Annual lecture tours in the United States from 1893 to 1907 had already acquainted this country with his forceful personality and the quali- ties which made him such a successful speaker. In 1914 he was called to the First Congregational church in San Francisco, from which he recently re- signed in order to become a member of the i'll fated Ford peace expedition. The same qualities which have brought Dr. Aked to the frort rank as one of tho most brilliant men of his time made it natural that he should become a leader of this expedition. This cir rumstance gave Dr. Al1ed exceptional opportunities to talk with the leading statesmen of the various nations at war; and his observations on the sub- lect America and tho World State by

BREED THEATRE.
Thrilling Scenes in New Metro Picture Clifford Bruce and Dorothy Green in The Devil at His Elbow.

The Devil at His Elbow, a startling five part Metro wonderplay, in which Clifford Bruce and Dorothy Green, two supreme dramatic artists, are seen in the stellar roles, is the feature at the Breed theatre today. This production contains scores of big situations pre- sented on an elaborate scale In genuine settings on New YorK'S waterfront, on board a big steamer at sea, and on a. submarine obtained from the United States navy. The story was written by Aaron Hoffman, who has written all the features for Mime Petrova since she has been appearing in motion pie lures. It deals with the subject of drink and it's evil influence when taken by a mechanical engineer as a stimu- human endeavor to complete plans for a new submarine. MT. Bruce has the role of the engineer, while Miss Green plays the part of a woman of the waterfront. Both characters are drawn with a master hand and afford these stars unbounded opportunity to display their versatility and dramatic gifts.
 The Breed also presents the Metro Travel series and MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew in a funny one reel comedy enti- tied Help completes the bill for today.
 On Monday and Tuesday the Breed will present Ralph Herz and Irene Howley in The Purple Lady. which is a picturization of the play of the same name by Sydney Rosenfeld.. It was selected by Metro for MT Herz's debut because of the many possibilities it of fered for screen production. Besides the humorous side of The Purple Lady there are many thrills in this feature for there is a strong and absorbing mystery and love story told in new and novel manner. The scenes are laid in and around New York. including scores of interesting glimpses of Coney Island, on shipboard in the harbor, and the interior of one of the most famous restaurants on Broadway. George Lessey produced The Purple Lady.
 MT. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will also be seen in one of their latest film farces entitled Between One and Two, and the Pathe weekly completes the bill for Monday and Tuesday

REVISING COMMANDMENTS.

The forthcoming General Conven-
ton of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, a triennial assemblage which
will meet at st. Louis this fall will
have before it a proposal emanating
from a commission of bishops, clergy
and laymen to alter the form of the
Ten Commandments as they are now
printed in the Catechism and the
Communion Office of this church.
This commission reports in favor of
shortening the commandments by the
emission of the time-honored reasons
for their observance.
Such changes will affect the first
five commandments so that they will
read as follows:
Thou shalt have none other gods
but me.
2-Thou shalt not make to'tnyself
