Christie of the Christie comedies
been at Contention Cove last Sunday
morning, there is no doubt that
another member of the summer
school would have deserted ELS
worth for the sun-kissed shores OF
California Handsome John Lind
quist's presence no doubt would add
considerable notoriety to the Sennett
bathing beauties, but John was Tar
removed from moviedom, which is
moyiedom's loss To witness the
sturdy built youth sauntering about
the beach clad in striped bathing
suit, with Clarice, the redoubtable
mascot, following in reverence at his
heels, would have created a laugh on
any movie screen. Vintage OF 1913
was written all over Johns bathing
costume.
The Boston University concert,
show and dance will be given at Han
cock hall on Friday evening, Aug. 20.
John Mckay. who is managing the
show, has secured the services OF
Barney's orchestra for that evening,
and from present indications, the
students as well as the residents OF
Ellsworth are going to be treated to
an ENJOYABLE nights entertainment.
Mr.. Mckay has been working hard in
polishing off the rough edges ana
putting on the finishing touches.
The majority of the cast have had
experience in amateur shows. he
hearsals are being held at knights or
Columbus hall three times week.
Dave Goldbergs experience as
pianist has given him an opportunity
to pick up several engagements TO
play at various entertainments given
in and about the city. Last Saturday
evening Dave played for the Klark-
Urban company Goldberg made a
good impression upon the manage
ment, and if the company comes to
Ellsworth again and Dave is in town,
he will get the position at the piano.
Silent" Jock Prouty, erstwhile
captain of the Prouty spelling team
which defeated the Leighton team
last Wednesday by the overwhelming
score of IL to 0, wants 1t known to
the Leighton team, or any other ag-
gregation familiar. with the words IN
Webster's dictionary, that he VIII
send his team against the best that
the school can produce. Prouty
spent considerable time whipping his
team into intellectual condition for
the first match, and now that all his
charges are possessed of Missouri
meerschaums.' he is out to secure
the "fillings." Here is a chance for
a good advertisement for some to-
bacco company.
The familiar sound of the pigskin
is filling the air since the arrival of
the footballs. Henry Tonry has dis
tributed the balls about, to those who
are prospective candidates for the
varsity, in order that they may con-
dition themselves for the approach
ing football season. AS soon as the
sun goes down and the air is cooler,
the boys get in their workouts Many
of the evenings have that real tinge
in the air suggestive of fall days and
football.
Dean Everett Lord arrived last
Thursday for his second visit to Ellis
worth. He spent Friday at Conten
tion Cove, the guest of Professor and
Mrs. Bellatty. Dean Lords visit was
short, for he left early Saturday
morning for Boston. While at the
Cove he enjoyed fishing in the Cove
with Prof. Bellatty. The Dean is IA
great outdoor man, and a lover of
nature, and thoroughly enjoys visit
ing the spots which were familiar to
him in boyhood. On his way to the
station, Prof. Bellatty secured an
early edition of The Weekly Plunge,
for Dean Lord to read on his way
back to Boston. With The Federal
Bored, the rival Boston paper, and
The Plunge, the Ellsworth edition,
running neck and neck, with the
odds greatly in favor of The Plunge,
the Dean Is in an embarrassing posi-
tion when asked to give his opinion
as to which he considers the better
paper.
The postponed tennis tournament,
which was to have been held July
81, is to be conducted next Monday
on the court back of Judge Peters
home. The students who are taking
part in the matches are busy placing
the finishing touches on the court so
that the games will be much faster
as result. The matches will be ar
ranged according to the abilities of
the contestants as rated by the
tournament committee, composed of
Tom Lonergan, last years champion,
"Honk" Miller and Ernie Mossey.
Entries will close this week, and a
bulletin will be posted of the names
of the contestants,
Manager Frank Horrigan certainly
has some tough breaks when it comes
to arranging home games. Three of
the games scheduled to be played at
Wyman park this summer have been
cancelled or postponed as a result of
the bad weather. Monday the game
with the Northern A. A. of Island
Falls was postponed because of
rain. Manager Horrigan's job as
head of the summer school ball
team is far from being bed of
roses, but Frank has way of MAX
ing difficulties seem trivial when he
tackles them, This is perhaps
Franks last summer as baseball
manager OF the summer school
