Plans for the big railroad celebra tion at SouhnQrt. Thursday, JJpYem ber 23rd, are rapidly .maturing and In a short time the complete programme will be announced,. Already :the fea tures have been made public and the; fire Buch.&a to assure a large gather ing in the, Uttie ciy on the eventful day, Everything.- is astir, in the town an. one an4 all a, re working with the one idea in view of making th3 cele bration the biggest affair which has ever.taken place in Brunswick county. ' The vent will celebrate the comple tion of the. Wilmington, Brunswick & Southern Railroad to that town from Navassa, where it connects with the Seaboard and Coast Line, and it is an nounced that the road will run three excursion trains to Southport in order to. accommodate the crowds expected to attend from Wilmington and sec tion and points along. the line travers ed by tho road. The first train : will leave here at 8 O'clock in the morning. Mayor Price. Furpless, of Southport, has issued a general, invitation to the people of Brunswick , and surrounding counties to be present on the occa sion of the celebration and an invita tion has also been issued by the South- Trt Chamber; of Commerce. The inW tations are printed in this 'week's is sue of the Southport News, occupying a'conspicuous place on the front page, set double column with border around them. The Southport News has the following relative to the plans for the celebration, which will be read with interest throughout this section:'. ' "Monday evening a special' meeting of the Various committees in charge of the railroad celebration met at tne Court House, and discussed ways and means of making, the event most at tractive to Everyone who will partici pate in. it " - - ' "The first train load of passengers will, probably -leave . Wilmington for Southport about 8 o'clock on the morn ing of the 23rd, arriving here between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, and other trains will follow at short Intervals. Each train: will" be.'-met as it arrives and the incoming crowds duly escorted to Franklin Square, where the speech making is to take place. The tenta tlve programme calls for 11:30 as the hour for ' addresses to begin. The speeches will occupy about two hours, and then will follow luncheon, which will be served In all the available plac es that the city can command. V Large tables ' will be spread In Franklin Square, and the Masonic Hall and other, public buildings will be utilized. Many of the county people will bring basket luncneons, ana a place wiu De provided where they can. have the use of tables. . ' , "As for the. Invited guests of the oo casion the plan will probably be to es cor tbem aboard the 'Seminole' and take them over to the Quarantine Sta tion for a banqUet. . Better accommo dations can be provided for them there, than anywhere else, . and the chef is said to have, had experience In serving many distinguished guests "Arrangements will be made to have boats, run at frequent Intervals to and from : Fort Caswell so that visitors may have' the privilege of seeing the fort, with all its attractions, and get a glimpse of the .'mighty Atlantic' at the same time. The officers at Fort Caswell, are invited to serve on the entertainment committee and their co operation will add greatly to the suc cess of the day. .The military band will he strongly in-evidence, and -the committees in charge of the musical part of the programme, it is hoped, will make sure that there is music a-plenty for. every one to enjoy. This is one of the chief attractions of the day fot many of " the good people of the county who cannot listen to a band concert every week in the year. "Boat parade, and field sports will .take place during the afternoon, fol lowing, the barbecue, and bear-steak event, and if. the weather is fair, these sports may. Include baseball. The com mltjee in charge 'el decoration, will look for the fullest co-operation on the part of every resident of this city, and the response should be quick and com preheneive. This is an occasion when every, public building, store, and pri vate residence should be properly dec orated.: Let everyone do their part, and make the. city, as gay and, festive as possible. ' "The committee oil boat racing af ter due consideration, decided to have a boat parade Instead of a race,' as this would give! all ; boats, large and small a chance in . the allotted time, Every owner or caretaker of a power boat ft requested to decorate his boat and pre pare tor tne oig parade. A prize win be, offered for the '..best decorated boat.'.' -i ; . ; . - ' The engagement of "The Girl from Rector's" will be, at the Academy of Music .today; for matinee aild; night, and" seats for both perforniances are now on sale at Plummer's. The high est matinee price is virtually only-50 cents, as only' box seats are .75 cents. The play enjoyed a run of over 300 nights at Weber's Music Hall, New York, o: the biggest business in tho history of the house. "The Girl from Rector's" is by -Paul M. Potter, who was also responsible " for "Trilby," ''The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" and other far-famed successes. Mr. Pot ter declares, however, tnat "Tne uiri from Rector's" is the greatest effort of hfs career. The story of the. play, briefly, is this: Loute Sedaine is "The Girl from -'V-lV H . x . I t Rector's ," a merry, dancing, dashing little slip, of humanity; She Is in love with Richard .CVShaugnessy, a young chap of ample wealth who, at the op ening of 'the play, has plunged Into dissipation as a result of the influence of. Col. Andrew Tandy, whose head quarters is at. the famous Broadway restaurant Richard has wearied of bachelor life and welcomes the visit of Mrs. Witherspoon Copley, wife of Gen. Witherspoen Copley, of Battle Creek, Mich., and her daugnter by first marriage, Miss Marcia Singleton. Marcia is engaged to a stupid, elder ly cousin of Richard, a college profes sor, but Richard skillfully manages to end that engagement and bring about his own. He drives Col. An drew Tandy out of his rooms and good luck takes Miss Singleton off on a supposed visit to her father, a grand army veteran, in Buffalo, where she spends a few months each year. Rich ard hies himself to Battle Creek and arrangements go forward for the mar riage and the stfenes shift from the east to the west The complications begin at the same time Mrs. .Copley's husband, the general, is thought to be In Martinique looking ' after extensive plantations, but he is to return in, time for the wedding. Another guest at the Copley home is Judge Coperton, of the American Court at Shanghai, who spends ten months of the year abroad, leaving his wife to travel in Europe. General Copley turns out to be none other than Col. 'Andrew Tandy . who, If. I disguise has been making merry m ;sew York. ..Mrs, Coperton; one of the leading society-women of Bat tle Creek, and , wife of ,the Judge, ' is none other than Loute Se'daine, wno has spent her long vacations in the vicinity of Rector's instead of "going abroad. It is through . her trequent visits to the restaurant that she gains the ' title "The "XMrl from Rector'is," The complications that1 follow keep the audience in a roar of daughter from the rise of the first' curtain to. the fall of the last The cast presenting the piece is regarded " as one of the strongest that 1 hast been sent out of New York in many years. ? ; The Spectacular "Bohemian. Girl" The Aborn Opera -Company's big spectacular production of . . Balf e's masterpiece "The Bohemian Girl," one of the truly ; great . successes of last season, comes to tho Academy of Musia next' Wednesday ji'ght, Novem ber 15th. Aside-from a meritorious musical rendition of the rpera. there 1? a wealth of - novel and attractiva features that are mosc, appealing. In cidental to the five great stage pic tures which represent In the. first act the exterior of the Castle of Count Arnheim, on the Danube, with a nr.oun- tainous background, sutaMentlv ma3 sJve and solid to resist ,le stra'n of 20 horses dashing up to an eleatlou of twenty-three feet ir.nn the sfige level, in pursuit of the kidnapping Gypsy -Chief. In the second act are four hig scenes representing an en campment of real gypsies, a town fair or Kermess of Old Bohemia, a gypsy marriage and barbecue, anl the court sceAe. In the last act the scene rep rpsents the Interior of Count Arn- neim's Castle, visualizing for the firs? time on any stage, ihe beautiful mar ble halls immortalized in cong, and in the effort for realism, all of these big scenes contain a wealth of marvellous Incidental de'Udl employing in all one hundred people, and introducinj real gypsies, wonderful' whirlwind acro bats, twenty trained horses, so con sistently introduced that they in no way Interfere with a musicanly rendi tion-of the complete score. , Septs will go on sale Tuesday. : " At the Bijou Jt is indeed a great bill . the Bijou has prepared for this week-end. It is going to be a glorious finale to a week that has bristled with artistic success and that has been fine for attendance in-spite of the weather, and this lat ter. emphasized the fact that it is well known that the Bijou is ever comfort able. - The bill today is going to snap with bright comedy films, which will be of most novel nature and that will split sides -with laughter. . In the lead of the smile pictures comes "Hi Feather top at the Fair." This is a real "Rube" photo-play and one that has the brightness and din of the carni val about it, and the way "Hi" gets fleeced by the bunto men fs a howl. Another big scream on today's bill is "The Right John Stoith,' and it shows oompVeations that arise from the bumper crop of Smiths found in ev ery city directory. "Love Moulds La bor" is the star in the dramatic and is a stirring one, too. The other films are also features and the mu sic for today is new and awfully jo lr. Big Success at The Grand. . Yesterday, Nurses Benefit Day, was a ;great success at The Grand Theatre and the beautiful house was crowded all during the afternoon and evening, the attraction being not alone for the worthy benefit for which the day.Nras devoted, but because of the high-class amusement and the comfort with which all performances at The Grand may be enjoyed. Today, Saturday, will be Matinee Day and the Grand visitors will see three of the best pic tures 'presented.

Meetings will be held each week day at 1 o'clock in. the association parlors and, time will bs set apart at the beginning of each class session for prayer. Princeton BasebafK Squad. Many Wilmington people will be in terested, tgu.know that the .star player on Princeton's great football team this year is a Wilmington boy, Bluethen thal, a son of Mr. and Mrs. L.. Blue thenthaVs rf this city: He played a great game at Princeton last Saturday when the Tigers for the first time in years defeated Harvard by the deci sive score of 8 to 6. All the big New Ycrk papers carried cuts of the play ers, among them, Bluethenthal, who was one of the bright particular stars of this game. The New York Herald in a page write-up of tho great an nual struggle said: "While the work of Duff stood out strongly, it would not be fair to the rest of the men beside him to give him all the credit. At centre Blue thenthal played a game that was just about as fine an exposition of the needs of; that position as one could wish for. He was guilty of one error, though, that might have cost the Tig ers dearly when he made -a poor pass on an attempt for a field goal. That was the oniy time, however, that his passing was not first class. Hart was also one of the bulwarks of the de fense, but he had earned his spurs bo fore and.it was only to be expected of him that he should be among the shin ing lights of the contest." The New Yor,k Morning Telegraph,! in sreaKing ocxne game, saia: "Bluetnenthai proved himeelf one of tne best centers in the East, playing his position with remarkable calcula tion and judgment. He diagnosed the Crimson attacks beautifully and seem 3d to know just when a. forward pass was coming, in which he always play ed loose' center."
