"Nightie Night" advertised extern
sively as a naughty farce. was
not really SO very naughty. except
that IL followed the usual mixed-up
marital plots that seem to be the
bone and sinew OF the average bed
room. or evo-bedroom farce. Far
be II from us. however. to infiict on
our gentle readers a homily on the
decadence OF the present-day stage,
except to say that we wish we could
see some OF the olden-day fsrces
again.
Francis Byrne Is pretty nearly the
whole show. He has. OF course. rather
an acknowledged reputation as q
farceur. but the vehicle was not par
ticularly wonderful. -.
While IL was highly amusing In
spots, with good situations for finales
OF acts. IL was a long time getting
under way.
Byrne plays Billie Moffett. a mar
ried man who once had q little
actress as a pal whom he meets on
the train some time after his mar
riage. and hears that she has mar
ried q friend of his. but has not told
him of her prior wedding or little
boy. Freddie. After the ceremony
she gets as far as telling the bride
groom Of her frst husband. when he
tiies into a rage and seeks the air.
she decamps to- New York. anu un-
fortunately for Billy. subrents his
apartment and stays there that
night. Friend wife finds her and then
the fun began.
Moffett proves a victim of circum-
stances. and Is given credit for the
parentage of little Freddie. A busy
body sister adds to the complexities
Of the unfortunate husband.
Suzanna villa, as Trixie Lorraine
the actress. apd Dorothy Moffet. as
Billy's wife, got about All out OF their
parts that was possible. Miss VILLA
has quite an adorable way of crying.
and the role furnished plenty of op-
portunity.
Others in the cast acquitted them
selves creditably.

Home Ball Players
For Home Ball Teams

The losing of yesterdays game of
base ball was a hard blow to the
Salisbury rooters, they came to
Cambridge all cooked and primed tq

thirty cents and they went home loDt
ing like a plugged lead dime.
rumors be true, and no one seems3
to deny them, Salisbury is not play
ing the game like Cambridge and
some of the other towns but, having
no confidence in the playing ability
of its own local players, has gone
into the market and hired pitchers
and other players, and it was these.
hired players who were expected to
do the trick yesterday
And just to think of it, their team,
with all of their high-priced players,
never earned a single run, the one.
run that the team secured resulting
from errors, while the Cambridge
team piled up four runs on the i'm
ported" pitchers.
1t does seem q shame, however,
that the local towns on the Shore can
not get together and play real anna
with teams composed of players Sc
cured from the limits of the coun-
ties in which the teams are located.
The sporting features of the game
are lost when it gets down to basis
of who can put up the most money
for imported" players. The under
standing was supposed to have been
this wear that the teams organized in
the various towns were to be com
posed of players who either lived in
the towns themselves or close by.
why not live up to this agreement, or
if it has not already been made in
writing with forfeit attached, let
such an agreement be entered into
at once. Any other way will spoil
the game, disgust the spectators and
give the promoters unpleasant re-
collections for several seasons, at
least such has been the experience
of all of these towns in the past.

While the weather yesterday
morning was very threatening and
gave every indication of rain it did
not prevent thousands of persons
! from attending the Cambridge Fair;
! they came from far and near; there
/ were cars from all the nearby cOun-
! ties and from several States. Hun
dreds and thousands of persons had
| been kept away the two previous
| days on account of being busy but
! yesterday business was thrust to
| one side and the crowds thronged
| to the Fair Grounds from noon I'M
| til after six o'clock in the evening.
| The same commentator that had
been heard on Tuesday and WedneS-
day was again heard yesterday, the
people were greatly surprised at the
entertainment that had been prOvid-
ed by the Fair Association, they had
not dreamed that it would be there.
The Midway was crowded with peo-
pie, the grandstand was full and
there were amuSements for all; those
who enjoy the racing saw holly con-
tested events winners crossing the
wire by inches, horses coming down
the home stretch in punches. The
automobile races furnished the thrill
of the afternoon. on the first round
the blue car went off the track, and
on the second two cars locked, left
the track and crashed through the
fence; for the moment the thousands
of people watching the race thought
that both of the drivers Messrs.
Reginald Lake and Guy Stewart, had
been killed but in moment they
both appeared, neither of them Bus-
tanning any injuries, although both
cars were damaged

So Much Smoke There Must Be "Fires''

A URORA, lila scandal which

In the dismissal of four undergradu

For several days five members OF
the faculty have been conducting an
Investigation which began with the
faint aroma of smoke in the dormitory
halls. Thirty-five girls Of all classes
We're questioned, nine were reprimand-
ed and four went away, never to re-
turn.
Miss Bertha Barber. principal of the
seminary since 1904, explained 1t thus !:
I'VE went about this situation very
carefully and have made no mistakes"
she said. 1--WE learned that two girls
who returned from spring vacation
March 90 brought cigarets with them
Two others joined in the smoking, and
before they were done they had eleven
girls smoking or trying to.
1--WE first got the odor of the Gig
arets at night. Members of the faculty
crept up to the dormitory and caught
two of the ringleaders. The conduct
Of these ringleaders was unbelievable,
for they had induced seven other girls
less than Is years old each to attempt
smoking"

was the arrival of girl from Chicago

Of snakes in the world. Some folks

But there are very few snakes in
this country which are poisonous
only few. Many of the garter snakes
in the zoo like to be petted and
stroked and spoken kindly to, and an
other strange thing about the garter
snakes is that they won't 90 to sleep
