was an excellent accompaniment to the
movements of tho merry revelers in the
dance Refreshments of ice cream
cako and lemonade were served during

tinued until about 11 oclock this morn

were little in excess of tho expenses
Saratoga was again presented at
the Auditorium last evening by local
talent and the absence of a crowded
houso was again uoticnble Tin News
does not understand why tho people
should not appreciate an entertainment
on which so much timo bad been ex
pended and which was as nicely rendered
as thiB one but the fact remains that
tho patronage was very limited and the
trustees lacked considerablo of enongh
money to meet tho expenses accrued
Tho prices were reduced repeatedly
with tho idea that tho peoplo demanded
small rates It now 6eems however
that a free show is what many of them
want but the trustees evidently do not
see their way clear to present this char
acter of attractions as yet
There are still 7000 head of sheep to
shear at tho yards south of the Juuction
Thero are 23 shearers at work an 1 it
will require about a week to finish up
The work would have been completed
earlier but the recent rains hnvo made
tho yards muddy and the mud works
into the fleece of the animals making it
impossible to handle the work as rapidly
as it would otherwise havo been The
recent weather is also responsible for
tho loss of 6ome animals tho company
losing about four u day on un average
slnofi tho rains commenced Tho yards
will be thoroughly cleaned as fast oh
the animals aro rhlppcd men and
teams now being in demand for that
purpose It is hoped to havo the yards
thoroughly cleaned boforti warm
weather begins In spite of tho unpro
pitlous weather of tho past fow weeks
tho majority of tho nutmals aro iu line
condition In fact It is said that the
sheep fed at these yards aro in tho liest
condition of any shipped in from other
yards under control of tho company It
is evident that the local manager knowH
his business and is giving tho company
good service

The homo taleut production of Sara
toga presented at tho Auditorium last
ovening was a magnificent success as
far as tho talent was concerned As
much cannot bo said however of the
patronage and receipts It was exceed
ingly disappointing to those taking part
as well as thoso interested in the welfare
of tho Auditorium that thero was kSH
than half a houseful of people and tho
corn puny could not havo been blamed
had they acted in a spiritless and care
less manner but they sustained their
parts as creditably as though every scat
hold an appreciative listener and I lie fre
quent applause of thoso present evi
denced tho fact that their efinits were
highly pleasing
Tho play is ono of society life nt the
famous watering place Saratoga and
while the plot is not thrilling nor is
thero n docided moral yet there is au
excellent opportunity for humorous sit
uations and good acting and these wero
fully improvod

an exceedingly clover part and was per
fectly at home on the stage Ho was in
love with many women und his troubles
