The strange tongued songs Of ma
tive Arabs, the changing lights which
fell on the palm garden scenes and
the singing sands or a desert wind
storm, which were placed before the
audience of the Grand opera house
yesterday afternoon and night caused
those who were fortunate enough to
sec the four acts Of The Garden ol

Robert Ilichen seized upon this atmo-
sphere for his famous book of the
same name others had not attempted
to bring the mystery of the waste Of
sands into our theaters.

who has denounced his vows thru the

hara desert a woman he loves. has
been woven an element Of the sphinx,
the ba2ar, the soldier life and love
which, but for the final separation or
hero and heroine. would never fail
TO leave a pleasant memory.
William Jeffrey, as Boris Androy-
sky, the fleeing monk, was. with Miss
Sarah Truax as Domini Enfildcn, the
two outstanding characters Of the
play. altho Howard Gould, as Count

went to a cast composed mostly Of

about which the play was written.

Champion ship hopes, which, as the

breasts of the speedy representatives
of Kendall college basketball, fled
last night when the husky Aggies,
playing a wonderful game against a
great game, showed the best basket
ball ever exhibited on the Kendall
floor and snatched the state title with
q 81 to 20 victory. Wonderful work
by great pair of guards that repeat
edly crowded the Kendall shooting
shanks away from the coveted hoop,
was responsible for the victory OF the
Aggies and the failure of the Kendall
five.
Only for a brief period In the first
half did the black and orange of
Schmidt's aggregation lead the pro-
cession, the heavier Farmers seizing
the lead a short time afterward on n
brilliant long shot by Coldiron and
maintaining it safe thruout the con
test, altho once in the second epoch of

Promoters Not Satisfied.

NEW YORK, March Upon re-
ceipt of Governor Whitman's state
ment forbiddng the Darcy-Dillon
fight, Promoter Brown announced
he would leave Immediately for AL
bany to talk with the governor. Brown
said the state executive had been mis-
informed. Brown said the bout was
not fight to a finish or a knock kout
and that the laws of the state Of New
York had been complied with IN the
articles of agreement.
SO far as Darcy was concerned,
Brown asserted the Australian pugi-
list had several times volunteered, but
as he was under age the consent Of
his parent was necessary before he
could join the army, aud his mother
had refused such consent.

TO MAKE PLANS FOR
ANNUAL FIELD MEET
Principals of County viii Also Discuss
Formation of High school
League.

Arrangements for the annual county
field meet will be made at a meeting
of the principals of all county schools
TO be held in the courthouse one week
from today. The athletic event will
probably be held some time in May.
The meet has always been held in
owen park, but some of the princi-
pals are understood to favor having It
at another place this year. The OBJ
lection to the park is that it has no
running track, which is big draw
back to these events.
Plans for the formation Of an inter-
high school athletic league will also
be discussed at this meeting. 1t is
believed such an organization would
promote athletic rivalry between the
high schools in the smaller towns Of
the county.
