@ a i e Ss pom - DRIVING OUT THE GAMBLERS ‘The Police Notitying Them to Leayo— Slot Machines to be Closed. The mayor's orders for the expul- sion of the gamblers from the city and for the closing of all nickel-in- the-slot machines caused a furry of excitement among the people direct ly interested. Chief of Police In- gram and his subordinates were busy on Tuesday and today notify- ing the gamblers that they must make an exodus and had 15 of them at his office on Tuesday night for that purpose. -The police are, watch- ing the departing trains in order to observe that those notified actually leave the city. Some of the gamblers are trying to evade the order by hiding in their rooms or in other places where the police will have difficulty fin finding them. The owners of slot machines are also being notified of the order. It is estimated roughly that there are 60 such machines ‘in the city and, as they are very expensive, a consider: able amount of capital will thus be locked up. Any gamblers found in the city after Thursday will be brought. be- fore’ Magistrate Boultbee and re- ceive summary treatment. A Wrestling Match Friday night at the International between McMillan, champion of Cornwall, Ontario, and J. Cannon, of St. Paul, for a purse of $200, is ihat thé thine is shut down pending negotiations in London for addi- tional capital. As this is not the case, and as it might be very mis- leading to the shareholders and pub- lic generally, I wil! ask you to kind- ly correct the statement. The facts’ are these: : The ‘Dundee Gold Mining Com: pany, Limited Liability," have en- tered into negotiations with Messrs. Morrison & Marshall, Limited, of London, England, to. take over their. property, they agreeing to form a new company, capitalized for £160,000 ($800,000)in shares of the par value of 41 each, and to take over the shares of the present company for shares in the new com- pany at the exchange rate of about 25 cents per-share. They also agree to reserve £42,000 ($210,- 000) as a working capital. I would say that the mine is not and never has been shut down since were originally commenced.. From these few par- ticulars you will see that the ‘‘Dun- dee Gold Mining -Company” is not trying to raise more capital, the property being about to be taken over by the firm mentioncd above.

The International This week is again offering an ex- ceptionally strong bill of vaudeville and burlesque. Alice Raymond, recognized as the leading soloist on the cornet and possessor of innum- erable medals presented to her from prominent musical affairs, leads the vaudeville artists and made an in- stantaneous hit. Artists of her rank are rarely seen outside of the big cities, and the enterprise of Mr. K is to be ded. A-close second are the Malvern Bros. in difficult and novel-acrobatic feats. ; 7 This week’s burlesque by Zinn and Cassiday scores the usual. suc- cess and is replete with sparkling. music, well-drilled. choruses, witty dialogue, brilliant costumes, ete. Miss Keesing introduces.‘'The , Ab- sent-Minded Beggar,” as set to mu- sic by Sullivan, triple encores, as does Mr. Ralston with his interpo- lated ‘‘Her Majesty.” The scene is laid in Ireland and Scotland and is fulNof color in the way of cos- tumes, songs and dances character- istic of those countries. The ‘“Gor- don Highlanders,” ‘Telephone Song,” “Conceive Me If You Can,” “‘Pirates Chorus,” ‘‘Kiss. Duet,”. etc., are all brigtt numbers, well rendered, and the dances and bal- * lets by the Peri sisters are entranc- ing; the vocal gavotte being es- pecially -effective with..the use of colored calcium lights. In the olio Eva Perry in ballads agreeably sur- prised the audience, as did Ida and Julia Perry in songs and step dances. Little Clarisse Farmer shows im- provement in.a baby song and Billy Young confirmed the good impres- sion made last week. Same bill all week with McMillan and Cannon in -a wrestling match added to the reg- lar program Friday‘ night. 6c; Virginia, 500, sc.
