20 FAR as numbers were concern
ed, amateur night at the Hipp last
~ night was a failure, as only three
features were secured. We are not
counting Rastus and his Dutch friend,
(you can't blame US for forgetting his
name. he did 1t himself last night.
These two boys were very much IN
earnest, and attempted mysterious
trick, and they almost got away With
II, but Schlitz overestimated his ca
pacity, and Rastus asked fool ques-
ton, and the act was just literally
ruined. Well, boys, keep coming
back, you may be amateurs some day.
Ed. Jenkins OF the East side as mu-
stefan, furnished most OF the fun in
the amateur division. Some of his
illusions were pretty well done, and a
lot of fun resulted. The Hayes broth
ers also of the East side, put on box
ing bout that was entirely too tame
an affair TO represent the East side.
There are surely two East siders who
can put up a better scrap than that.
Why did they leave Harry Shaw out,
for instance? Billy Knote who came
to Fairmont with the Darktown Fol
lies last winter, was in for dancing
bee, but he did not have an under
standing with Dick Grady, the plan
list, and after giving only an inkling
Of what he could do bowed himself of
the stage. We hope he comes back
Next week, for he is really clever
dancer, and last winter set the house
wild with his dance number. Tonight
is the first showing of THE Man from
Mexico" and 1t is said TO be very
lively affair. Plenty of comedy, snap
by song and dances and pleasing cos
tunes that are bound to get you, are
all promised by Billy Malone.

 SAN DIEGO. Aug. 5.-P)--Secre tary of the Navy Daniels and the off. cial welcoming party. will be the first to greet the new Pacific fleet when it arrives off the harbor of San Diego on Thursday morning. The party will board the flagship of the fleet five miles off shore for the trip into the harbor.
 It is now planned that the fleet shall stop at all California ports until it reaches San Francisco. At every port each boat will be open to inspec- tion by visitors. therefore the many people who have gathered here and at other places will be given an op. portunity to see what first class fight ing ships are like.
 Owing to the fact that such large crowds have gathered to see the fleet at various places, all hotels and eat. ing houses are crowded. This condi tion has had the effect of giving the owners of the places, particularly res taurants, chance to raise prices The plan first originated at San Pedro according to information received here. but it was never put into effect as a raise in prices has been forbid den by the city authorities of all ports.
