CONVENTION HALL.

Arthur Middleton. the eminent bass.
baritone Of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, will be heard here Feb. IS
at Convention Hall. Mr.. Middleton's
appearance here will be the third at.
traction of the season given by the
Ardmore Entertainment Committee.
Mr.. Middleton is purely an American
product, having never been abroad. and
his success has been such that he is
heralded as one of the greatest singers
in the opera ranks. He began his
career as a church singer at the ae of
fourteen, and made his first appear.
ance as an oratorio siner at the age OF
nineteen. SO pronounced was Mr.. Mid
dleton's success as a singer of oratorio
terian Church Of Chicago as soloist.
After a number of years there he was
retained by the Oak Park Presbyterian
Church, the highest paid church posi-.
ton in Chicago. which place he held
until he went to New York to toin the
Metropolitan opera company Mr.. Mid.

carried hi mover 100000 miles into
every state Of the Union, and his popu

he has appeared over 700 times in the
Messiah and 100 times in the Elijah.
Ardmore music lovers can well look
forward to this unusually splendid at
traction. Mr.. Middleton stands fore
most in the musical word. During his
first year at the Metropolitan he ap
peared thirty-fivo times, which in itself
shows the high regard the authorities

On the barren lands up around Ches-
terfield inlet and Baker Lake more
than 100000 caribou roam. waiting
for the hunters to come.
Enough deer meat there to feed a
hungry world for years and years!
Canada will soon throw open the
door to this hunters paradise by lay
ing the last seventy miles of steel rails
to complete the government railroad
from The Pas, in Manitoba, to Port
Nelson, on the shores of Hudson Bay.
Then hunters can go by way of Win
nipeg to Port Nelson, thence to Ches-
terfield inlet and Baker Lake and
stand in the heart of the caribou
country.
And those who know say there are
more caribou there than there ever
were buffalo on the Western Ameri-
can plains. The caribou is probably
the greatest natural game preserve
left on earth. And it is soon to be in
vaded. The last railroad bridge and
embankment have been completed.
Soon trains will be running into Port
Nelson, loaded with eager hunters.
Caribou are a species of small deer.
