If the talk of officials is any criterion the new schedule will make no difference to the arrival of the mail as it is. said that now the train will arrive at the station at 9.30, about the same time it got here with the earlier schedule. The big gamble in the minds of the citizens. however. hinges on the actions of the noon train. For the past two or three years the noon train in and the ,afternoon train out have been of the imixed variety. For a time the north- Lbound train. scheduled to arrive here at 1 o'clock. was ambling in never earlier than 1.30 and often as late as 2 o’clock. This was caused by the lapsed time in; switching at Mount Forest and Dur- ham.

Eflectivo Sunday, DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, Mary, Queen of Scots Exceptional Pageant Resplendent with brilliant costumea'| enhanced by well- nigh perfect stage 5 effects, and produced by a company of cv er 40 local artists, the pageant, “Mary, Queen of Scots” played to capacity houses here last Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights. and of the three houses present we have heard of none who is not of the opinion it was one of the best, if not the best. productions put on by any local organization in the history of the town. As the title would indicate. “Mary, Queen of Scots” is a historical pageant of the Elizabethan period. and while the most of us have probably forgotten the trials through which Scotland’s unfortunate queen was forced to pass and which led up to her execution. there was none who fol- lowed the week’s pageant closely but who had his memory refreshed and the happenings of the times presented in a mannei in which will never again be \ wholly forgotten. The pageant opened with a prologue based on the year 1542 when “Gypsy Meg” prophesied the downfall of the future Queen of Scotland on the very day on which she was born. The play went down through the years until 1587 when Mary, Queen of Scots was executed on the signing of her death warrant by Queen Elizabeth. The different scenes were laid at various periods. Following the pro- logue the scene in the convent garden; in Normandy depicted Mary with her companions the four Mary’s under the watchful eyes of the mothers of Nor- mandy and the visit of Nell, the beggar maid of Berwick. The gay court of tho Bourbons presided over by Henry II of France and his royal consort depicted the state ball in honor of the marriage of their son the Dauphin and Mary, Queen of Scots. This was in the year 1558. The third act took the audience to Holyrood Castle in 1566 and showed the murder of Mary’s private secretary, Rizzio. by Lord Ruthvin and followers. The next scene was at the castle of ’Lochleven in 1567 and showed Mary in prison and being forced to abdicate the ithrone of Scotland. The final scene *was in Fotheringay Castle. where Queen Mary was executed in 1587. at... unminum \tbbl‘. 5"“. J it v.-. Interspersed through the various scenes were lighter numbers which brightened ub what. would have been an otherwise sad and heavy I)!‘B§Clltuuuu.i These were most ably put on by the; members of the cast in which good solo l and. ensemble singing and acting car-‘ ried the interest of the audience; tion of the patrons. Three Capacity Houses The production created a new record in Durham in that it was billed for three nights, Thursday, Friday and Monday, and on each occasion was greeted by a capacity attendance. A noticeable and pleasing feature of the attendance was the presence on all three nights of numerous patrons from the surrounding vicinity.

Fri- day and Monday nights it was the re- verse, the greater number being from the country surrounding. many coming from a considerable distance to enjoy the program. This was caused no doubt from the excellent reports going out following the initial performance. This we believe is the first time locally in which one show successfully played to three capacity houses in the one week and speaks well for those responsible for it: presentation.

After the serving of lunch Dr. Grant moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Farewell and daughter for their assist- ance in directing and producing _the pageant. This was seconded by Rev. B. Hayes and was heartily concurred in by the gathering. In the moving and seconding of the vote of thanks great stress was placed on the directing genius of Mrs. Farewell. without whom it was felt such a production could not have been carried out, and on the part taken by Miss Farewell in carrying the difficult role of Mary, Queen of Scots. â€"lâ€"l _ L8-L for THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1929 Hit and RunZDriver Caused Bad Wreck Sideswiped Car at Hutton Hill Satur- day Causing Bad Accident Which Wrecked Car and Injured Occuggqts.

Oflenoe st Monday’s Trial and Wu Yesterday Given Five You-I In On Wednesday of this week. accord- ing to information received in Durham by phone, William Wiggins of this town was sentenced by Magistrate Spereman at Owen Sound to serve a term of five years in Kingston penitentiary on a charge of committing an abortion. to which he pleaded guilty. Cyril Hewitt. the other man in the case,'who comes from the vicinity of Fergus or Grand Valley, was given one year. The trial on Monday is reported in the Owen .Sound Sun-Times as follows: William Wiggins, well known Dur- ham resident. arrested over a week ago in his home by Provincial Constables Denton, McClevis and Nelson. almost in the very act of committing an abor- tion on a young woman, and who was remanded to jail for a week, appeared before Magistrate Spereman in police court on Monday morning. Two charges were preferred against him, both of which accused him of attempting to commit this serious offence. He was defended by Mr. W. J. Scott and without pleading to either of the charges elected to be tried by judge and jury. The evidence of the young man. Cyril Hewitt, fiancee of the young wo- ___:LI. vaâ€"â€"â€" â€"_- man, and who is also charged with Wiggins of the same offence. and that of Provincial Constable Nelson was taken, and this was of such a character that it became evident to both the ac- cused and his counsel that there was little use of proceeding farther, and after a consultation the decision to be tried by judge and jury was changed with the permission of the court and Wiggins pleaded guilty to both offences, after electing to be tried by the Magis- trace. U. “W. Mr. Scott made a strong plea on be- half of his client, and pointed out that while the crime was admittedly one of the most serious in the criminal. code there were circumstances in this case which should receive consideration from the court. He contended that Hewitt was the man who induced Wig- gins to commit the crime and was therefore even more guilty than his client. who showed his weakness in acceding to the request made of him, ,and who had. so far as the court record A-..
