(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Sarah Bernhardt,
the famous actress, suffered a relapse
during the early hours this morning.
when she had another fainting spell
which lasted for a considerable time.
Courage alone is said to be sus-
tanning the actress. Her physical
strength is declared to be fast ebbing.
The doctors who constantly are in at

opinion this evening that only a mira

Christmas eve in Bernhardt's little
mansion in the Boulevard Periere was
a silent one. The servants and others
ot the household moved noiselcssly
through the semi darkness of the halls,
which usually at Christmas tide gloWed
with brilliance. Bernhardt's 70-year-
old butler, Arthur, was sad of eye and
disconsolate. Madame is very low
he said with quivering lips.
Madame was progressing favora-

Professor Obissier. chief Of the
medical staff attending Bernhardt,
said to the Associated Press this
evening:
While we still hold hope for her
recovery. it is certain that Madame
Rernhardt will never again face the
footlights. Absolute repose and quiet
for many long months are essential"
During the physicians talk with
the correspondent, several lifelong
friends of Bernhard entered the
drawing room and stood beneath q
large buffalo head presented to
Madame Bernhardt during one of her
trips through America. They desired
to go into the sick room, but the doc

Cannot Give Away
Pershing Stadium

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Nobody wants the
pcrshiug stadium; The city of Paris
cannot give it away. The Union OF
Federations of Sporting Societies. to
whom the municipal council offered
the stadium recently. refused to ac-
cept it unless the city guaranteed the
100, 600 francs necessary for it's yearly
upkeep. This the city is not disposed
to do, claiming the union s refusal was
prompted by spite because the city
favored the Pcrshjng stadium for the
Olympic games and voted a subsidy of
only a million francs for the Colembs
stadium in connection with the 1924
Olympic meet.
The municirsl council now has Of
fered Pershin0 stadium to the Sport

Colored Fair Begins
Wednesday Morning

Tomorrow morning the gates to
the Montgomery County Colored
Fair Association will open wide to
the public. The premiums are Of
sufficient value to bring to Mt Ster-
ling horses almost as swift as are
recorded on the running race track,
and what is said of these fleet favor
ties is equally appropriate to be said
of the trotters and PAGERS.
The colored people have done their
best to make this, their second
meeting, surpass in every way the
first, and this effort does not in any
way give a hurtful cast to last
years fair-for last year the fair
was success both as a money ma
ker and in stimulating the people to
praise worthy efforts.
Burns Greater Shows will be here
and will make the midway worth
while The big ferris wheel that
carries three abreast; merry-go-
round and mammoth six-boat sea
planes are among the enjoyable
rides. Captain Nevadas famous
concert band will be in attendance
each day and the first day will start
with the great street parade. The
shows are all clean, moral and up
to-date. All colored people are ex-
pected to drop in line with horse
drawn vehicles and autos in order
to make this the greatest street pa
rade ever witnessed in Mt. Sterling.
1t will pass through the principal
streets of the city.
The band is to be very attractive
feature. The selection of the Booker
T. Washington Band, of Louisville, is
fortunate one, for in this company
of musicians are artists that rank
among the first. 1t will be a real
treat to hear them. The Manhattan
Beach parade will be reproduced to
the delight of all the people.
An effort is being made to make
the floral hall a thing of beauty and
we are sure it will be according to
the efforts used. AS we are advised
this fair will be worth all it costs
and much more to the colored popu'
lation of this section, and large
crowds are expected from all over
the state.

Rev. Clyde Darsie
Goes To Cynthiana

The Christian church in this city
has had only two pastors in nearly
thirty-fve years. Rev. II. d. Clark
came from Bloomington, ILL.,, preach.
ed here for over twenty-six years;
after a short sickness he died on De-
cember 16, 1913. At the time of his
death the membership of his congre-
cation approximated ATS.
Rev. Clark was succeeded as pas.
tor by Rev. Clyde Darsie, who, after
spending a Sunday with this congre-
cation, came with his wife and fam.
lily from Jacksonville ILL.,, and began
service on the first Sunday in May,
1914. After the death of Rev. Clark
and before the coming of Rev. Oar.
sic, protracted meeting was held
by Rev. Mark Coils, of Lexington.
During this intervening ministry the
membership was increased nearly
200.
Rev. Clyde Darsie closed his min.
istry here last Sunday, July 80, deliv.
ering his last sermon Sunday morn
ing, having been here eight years and
three months. He gave a few sta
tistics: The present membership is
approximately $50; since the death
of Rev. Clark there have been 451
additions. including the 266 received
during the pastorate of Mr.. Darsie.
He has officiated at 155 weddings,
and conducted or took part in 282
funerals. Ninety-eight members of
his own congregation have died.
In addition to his usual preaching
and prayer meeting services he has
taught the Hazelrigg Mems Bible
class in the Bible school He has
held protracted meetings in this and
other counties. During the most, if
not all the time, being the only resi-.
dent pastor in the county. he has
been much in demand, as indicated
in the above statistics.
Rev. Darsie has greatly endeared
himself by his varied ministries and
attractions not only to the member
ship of his congregation in town and
county, but also to other congrega.
tions in the city whise fellowship and
cooperation he highly priced in un.
ion services and other associations.
Mrs. Darsie has deserved and receiv-
ed the friendship and love of all
who know her. AS they go to their
new home and work at Cynthian2
they and their children will be fol-
lowed with their pleasant memories,
thanks, prayers and best wishes OF
Mt. Sterling people.

Saturdays Game a Thriller

On the local lot Saturday after
noon before a good sized weekday
crowd Paris defeated Mt. Sterling in
a 12-inning contest to the count of 4
to 8. This was the closest and most
interesting exhibition seen on the To-
cal lot this year Not score was
made on either side until the eighth
inning, when Cicona, the Mammoth's
star center fielder, knocked a home
run. Not to be outdone. Blake. first
man up for the Essex in the same
inning, knocked home run to deep
left, which Nippert misjudged. Mt.
Sterling made two more tallies in
this inning, starting the ninth with
the count standing 8 to in our IA
vor. However. Paris did not like the
looks of the score board and made
two more tallies In their half of the
ninth. Parsons was then substituted
for Wills and the scoring was all
over for the locals. Paris made its
winning run in the twelfth after two
were out on a hit and wild throw
by the pitcher. Thus ended possibly
the prettiest game of ball ever seen
in this circuit Nefrey, the Indian
pitcher who made his initial start
for Mt Sterling, pitched remark
able game and received perfect sup
port. His work has caused much ia
vorable comment and he is certain
to be fixture with the local club.
The box score follows:

is very little interest being manifest

MdySViie Sope tnursudyS 1dHe
Luck was with the league leaders
here last Thursday and they we're
returned the winners in well play
ed game by the score of s to 4. Har-
rison was on the mound for the 10
Gals and pitched a splendid game,
and with better support would have
been returned the winner. Blake
dropper a ball In center field in the
first inning which cost two runs,
while Monk let one get away from
him which cost another. In this game
Umpire Goodman had many close de-
cisions and we seemed to get the
worst of every one of them.
Notes Of the Game
With two such star twiriers as
Nefrey and Harrison and the infield
going as it is, there is no reason
in the world that Mt. Sterling should
not finish with a percentage of bet
ter than 500. All the boys need to
do now is to hit in the pinches-and
we believe they are going to do that
Pergrem is certainly playing a
great game at third and also seems
to have found his batting eye.
Lackey was seen behind the bat
in Saturdays and Sundays games
and showed up well considering that
he had not played in that position for
nearly two months. He secured
three safe hits Saturday.
Monk had finger injured in prac-
tice Thursday but is expected to be
back in the next game, which will be
at Winchester Thursday.
Wilbers continues to play a star
game both in left field and at the
bat and he has become quite an idol
among the fans.
An exhibition game is being played
between Paris and Mt. Sterling at
Fair Grounds park this afternoon and
the proceeds will be used to secure
new uniforms for the two clubs.
