The Woodstock Gun Club, whose object it is to promote the practice of field sports and to protect the game of this state, and to inforce all game laws of the state in connection therewith, will, upon proper complaint being made, prosecute all persons in any man­ ner violating any of the game laws of this state, at their own expense. During the closed season parties can­ not hunt any protected game, even on their own grounds, and for this reason, that the title to the game is in the state and therefore state property. The game laws are very strict and a word to the wise is sufficient. Violations of the game laws and the names of the* offenders, or suspected violations, if reported to Deputy Game Warden, John S.

Come early for your fall suits 1 f " >*<& JOHN D. LODTZ, The tailor The second annual Minstrels, given by the P. Y. C. Juniors, took place Sat­ urday evening, Aug. 8, at the Pi -.takee Bay Club House. Although many knew nothing of the preformance. until late Saturday afternoon,, the house was crowded with an appreciative audience. Shortly after 8:30 p. m., the program was commenced, and the first number, a cornet solo, by Perley Gunton, was well played and loudly applauded. Then the music for the opening chorus began, and Pete Persimmons (Leonard Lorimer) assisted by the whole com­ pany sang "Every Race Has A Flag But The Coon." This was sung behind the curtain, which, when raised, de­ picted an exquisite scene of a typical southern plantation. The second num­ ber, "Ma Tiger Lily," by Rastus Jones (Edwin Schillo) was well received. Jonas Bigtalk (Peter Seyl) sang "Coon, Coon, Coon," exceedingly well, acting his part to perfec­ tion, and received a hearty ap­ plause. Mose Elderberry (Howard Gun­ ton) was one of the beet and most original actors of the evening. He sang "Pliny Come Kiss Yo" Baby" in true professional style and took the house, receiving rapturous applause, he was obliged to respond to an encore. "My Girl From Dixie," sung by Sam Kezar (George Wolf) was very good. Casius Bighoof (Freddie Wilk ) sang "My Charcoal Charmer," and was him­ self a "charmer," for he captivated the audit nee and graciously responded to an encore. Abe Hardcase (Harry Hill) and Spruce Johnsing (Chas Hill) acted pauriw pleaaed tfep people. The next number, "Oriental Coon,'* was well sung.by Ben Randolph (Addis Richards.) Howard Gunton sang "The Honeysuckle and The Bee" by request, and again delighted the audience, evincing corresponding pro­ ficiency. Then little Ray Gunton as Sambo Buster, sang "Lucky Jim" very sweetly. The next a parody on "Dixie" sung by Leonard Lorimer was a perfect treat; he had the people in roars of laughter from begining to end of the song. After many' minutes of deafen­ ing applause he responded to the encore. The minstrels closed with a cornet solo by Perley Gunton, who, as Rube Wad- dell, was interlocutor, and was very amusing throughout the performance. The faultless performance of the boys reflected the highest credit on them for their ability, after but four days prep­ aration, to delightfully entertain so fastidious an audience. Part second of the program was enjoyed as much as the first. It opened with a piano trio by Ethel, Willie and Leonard Lorimer, which was well executed. The next number, a piano solo by little Lorine Lorimer, was the surprise of the even­ ing. Lorine is but six years old and reads music readily. She has wonder­ ful technique, a perfect ear, and gen­ uine musical talent; she completely car­ ried away the audience. She next ac­ companied her sister, Marjorie, five years old, in the song, "I'd A Letter From Papa. To-day," and the people went in raptures over these two little prodigies. The next number was a vocal solo by Hazel Peters. Hazel has a pretty voice and a most graceful pres­ ence and sang so charmingly that the audience demanded a repetition; she was accompanied by her sister, Miss Neva Peters. Miss Ethel Lorimer, who is an accomplished little pianist, aston­ ished her audience with her masterlv rendition of "Home Sweet Home," (imi- nating waves in a storm) by which her talent was strikingly manifested. Marjorie Lorimer then captured the people again by reciting "Jemima." Florence McAnsh gave a piano eolo, which was well received. Lorine Lori­ mer then held the audience in ecstacies over her when she spoke "I Wished I Was A Boy." The next number was a piano solo by Miss Josephine Healy, which was highly appreciated by the audience and enthusiasticly applauded. Loretto Lorimer sang "Picanniny's Lullaby" in a - sweet voice and was a perfect picture as she hushed her imag­ inary picanniny to sleep. In artistic posing, Ethel Lorimer was a vision of grace and loveliness. Next little Mil­ dred Eckart in her quaint little way pleased everyone very much, with a pretty little song. Then Loretto Lori mer gave a pleasing recitation and was followed by Ltilu Adams, who though last was not least and shared in the gener­ ous applause given by the delighted audience. »*. •• * i. 0.
