ity Minstrels which are to be staged
in the Opera House on next Monday
and Tuesday evenings. go on sale at
the box office this morning at $50
o'clock.
The show this year is better than
the best that the Elks have ever pro-
duced, being full of catchy, Snappy
songs, roof raising jokes and various
novelties. No one can afford TO miss
the affair for it is the most preten-
tious production ever attempted by
those other than professionals
Director Somers has been working
hard with the boys and the entire
troupe have developed in fine style.
The men go through the various
numbers with smoothness and pre-
cisiOn, yet without a trace of mechan-
ical action.
One of the biggest features of the
entire show is the wireless telephone,
which will "catch" whatever is on the

II noon. Headed by a band, they
will start from the Opera House.

BUKER and TOOTELL SHOULD
Win POINTS FOR THE maine
COLLEGES AT PH|LLY TODAY

With teams from all four of the
Maine colleges competing, interest of
Pine free track fans naturally centers
about the Penn. Relay Carnival games

Judging from past performances.
and what little dope is available on
State of Maine tracksters at this
early date, at least two of our COL
legians should win points at the meet.
Captain Ray E. Buker of Bates. who
captured the two mile run at the
Penn. games last year in minutes,
25 1-5 seconds, is going strong accord
ing to word received from Lewiston.
and is quite likely to duplicate his
feat again this year.
The next best bet is F. D. Tootell
of Bowdoin, giant tackle on last years
eleven. Tootell has shown remark
able form with the hammer this sea-
son, and should press Brown of Har-
ward for at last second or third place.
Bowdoin is not sending a relay team
this year and Butler and Hardy, both
dash men, are not expected to bring
home the bacon in the face OF the
competition they are up against.
These two men, with Tootell comprise
the entire entry list for the White, as
Bowdoin is not sending a relay team.

misfortune of distinguished military
