A few more strokes and the chances of our seeing the choristers in Mc­ Henry will be secure. Support is coming in fast from many sources for the advance fund. The ladies have canvassed a portion of McHenry for funds to launch the advertising and other initial, expenses. "They are making the rounds now to meet the boosters of McHenry. Judging from the reporte. and re­ turns coming in it's easy to forecast that McHenry. will see thousands of people pouring into town *rom all sides week from Sunday night. Peo­ ple from Woodstock and Crystal Lake, who heard the choristers, al­ ready promised not to miss the Mc­ Henry concert regardless of any weather. The baseball park has been kindly offered by the managers for the out­ door chorister concert and the grand­ stand, stage and grounds will be il­ luminated for the event. Automobiles can receive particular attention from the parking commit­ tee on the spacious b&JL grounds and the grandstand offefesj^ advantages that could not be o'verlooked. A Spacious stage will be construct­ ed on the diamond for the fifty-five choristers that Father Finn, their famous director, will conduct and the setting will be remarkably beautiful and memorable. In Order to augme/it the conven­ iences, the women will b6 on hand to serve ice cream and cake on the grounds in. the evening. After the concert they propose to give a recep­ tion to the choristers either in Stof- fel's hall or on the ball grounds. The following is a list of some of the committees at work for the event: Construction committee: Floyd E. Covalt, chairman; H. J.

Venetian Night in Crystal Lake The Paulist choristers of Chicago gave a picturesque concert last Sun­ day night near Jorden's hotel grounds. As was advertised, the choristers, about sixty in number, were seated in boats, which formed a semi-circle around Father Finn, the director. As the sun was setting sin the w|st the melodious strains of the famous choir enchanted thousands of people gathered on the shore of the lake to hear the fampus songsters. Traffic had to cease at this point, as the autos jammed every available space. Many McHenryites were present. They pronounce the appearance of the choristers to be a big event iff McHenry Sunday, Aug. 27. Prepar­ ations are now going on to illuminate the baseball park for the concert in McHenry. - Barn Dance One of thie biggest l»arn dances ever advertised in this locality will take place at the newly constructed barn on the Nicholson place near Ingle- side, 111., on Saturday evening, Aug. 26, to which an invitation is extended to the people of McHenry and vicin­ ity. Moore's banjo saxophone or­ chestra, something new in the music­ al line, has been engaged for the oc­ casion and a big time is in store for those who attend.

If established it will be known as Fox River Grove, just across the Fox river from Cary, from which office Fox River Grove residents are now served by rural de­ livery once a day. The growth of Fox River Grove and the desire of its residents to have more than one de­ livery of mail a day are the moving factors in steps already taken to es­ tablish a postoffice there, it is claimed.

Barnes of Woodstock, candidate for state's attorney, was here last evening and addressed the largest and most attentive audience we have ever witnessed in Mellenry. After a few well rendered selections by the McHenry band, Hon. Jas. B. Perry introduced the speaker in a Few well, chosen words, in which he lauded Mr. Barnes for seeking the office of state's attorney in the right way. Mr. Barnes then took the stand and held his audience for at least an hour and a half, making his platform ('lear to every voter. He brought out many certified reports in regard to the system used at our present state's attorney's office and the tax payers of this county for once in four years got their eyes open as to money being withheld from our school fund. Mr, Barnes held his listeners with rapt attention .and there was no getting around his facts and figures His ^campaign lasts just four weeks more, in which he hopes to complete all engagements before primary day, Sept. 13. Mr. Barnes came out early in the campaign and expects to meet every voter in the county before his campaign closes. Several personal friends Woodstock came over with Barnes. Dance at Johnsburg Manager Smith of Smith's hall, Johnsburg, is making arrangements for another social dance to be held at his hall on Wednesday evening, August -30, and extends an invita­ tion to everyone to attend. Manager Smith has made for himself a repu­ tation in the dance business very sel­ dom equalled and his place is prob­ ably the best known and most favor­ able in this section of the county. Hk promises all those who attend a good time and the same genial hos­ pitality that has characterized all previous dances held at that place. Oeffling's orchestra will furnish the music and the tickets will sell at 50 cents' each. i Thanks His Patrons I wish to thank the patrons who so kindly patronized me while engaged in the -grocery and moat business in McHenry and hope that you will con­ tinue po patronise my successors. Those knowing themselves indebted to me Will please cair and settle on or before September first. Anybody having a bill against me will please present same for payment. very truly, " t , S. J. Deinleiijy Mr. Nearly 1,600 People Turn Out to Watch Big "Leaguers Mix It With McHenry Sox \ •* Monday proved a big day for this live old town. Besides entertaining the Chicago White Sox baseball club, we also bid welcome to some ten hun­ dred outside fans, who came to as­ sist McHenry in greeting the boys who are fighting for the American league flag. Altho threatening clouds were vis­ ible thruout the . entire day, .the weather man displayed"his considera­ tion for McHenry by allowing the day to pass by without as much as a sprinkle from the clouds, all of which helped swell the day's crowd as well as to enrich the treasury of the Mc­ Henry baseball club to the extent of $100, as this is about the amount which will be cleared after all bills are paid. Our distinguished guests arrived as per schedule on the 10:18 train. They were met at the depot by Manager Walsh, members of the McHenry baseball club and quite a number of our citizens,' -They were then escorted to the McHenry House, where they made their headquarters during their stpy in McHenry. A boat ride on the river took up the visitors' time until dinner time, when the boys sat down to a dinner that had been prepared and served to a queen's taste. The boys surely did enjoy the eats. The afternoon crowd began to ar­ rive shortly after the noon hour and from that time until three o'clock the ticket sellers were kept on the jump. .There just didn't seem to be'an end to the automobiles and the manner in which they filed into the grounds be­ tween the hour of 2:00 and 2:30 was surely pleasing to McHenry's popular manager as well as our people in general. The Chicago team arrived at the park early arid for an hour before the game was called gave the spectators an excellent opportunity of seeing them in their daily work-out. The big fellows went thjru all the prelim­ inary work usually performed before the big league games, while as an added attraction they went thru a five-minute workr»ut at shadow ball, which was greatly enjoyed by every­ one. The game itself proved just exact­ ly as advertised, an exhibition contest between one of the best teams in the world and a fast amateur team. While no one expected to see Mc­ Henry win, we believe that the spec­ tators were well satisfied with wKat they saw, as the game was such as to give the Chicago team opportu­ nities to show every fine point known to the national pastime. They fielded perfectly, hit the ball hard and "pulled" just enough of the comedy to keep the 1,600 fans good natured. All told, the, event was one grand suc­ cess and proved the biggest of the kind that ever occurred in McHenry. Great credit is due to Richard B. Walsh, manager of 'the McHenry team, for this event, as it was due principally thru his untiring efforts and aoquantance with the owners of the Chicago team that made the un­ dertaking a possibility and we dare say that once more this little old* town received advertising that cannot be reckoned by dollars and cents and The Plaindealer for one feels elated to know that we have among us a young man capable of seeing a thing of this kind successfully thru and we extend our heartiest congratulations. Then, too, those who contributed towards the guarantee fund of $500 are tlso to be congratulated upon their enterprising spirit, and last, but. not least, the farm have the thanks of the McHenry baseball club for their loyal support .The following are the contributors, who are having their money returned this week: Martin W Knox.

Watch for advertisement of this new business firm in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. "The Shepherd of the Hills" Harold Bell Wright, the author of "The Shepherd of the Hills," which opens its third annual engagement at the Central opera house on Sunday evening, Aug. 20, is conceded to be the most popular American novelist No modern author's books have had anything like the sale that has been accorded to Mr. Wright's works. Nearly every one is familiar with the characters in "The Shepherd of the Hills." They are people out of the ordinary run of life, people in whose veins run good, rich, red blood. They do things in a natural, human way; they love and hate with deep passion. In making. a play of his novel, Mr. Wright, with the assistance of Els- bery W. Reynolds, has retained all the dramatic moments of the story and enlarged upon the character^ of "Preachin' Bill," making a character of him that will be long remembered by theatre goers. Naturally the love between "Sammy Lane" and "Young Matt" is the pivot upon which the play revovles. E. C. Wilson, the pro­ ducer, has mounted the play in a sumptuous manner and given it a cast that promises to prove unique in the matter of types. All seats 50 cents, except under balcony^ 25 cents. v To the Public In retiring from business in Mc­ Henry I wish to thank my friends for the years of patronage extended me.

The music was excellent and the upper story of that spacious structure was decorated to suit the most fastidious and all hailed the flag. The camp feels very grateful to F. H. Wattles for the donation "of his barn, as the receipts from seventy-five tickets sold were very encouraging. Everybody left hoping that the Royal Neighbors might entertain soon again.
