Raymond Hitchcock the celebrated actor •nd star of "The Red Widow," playing at Ed- n&onton. Alts., the Fourth of July, gave a grand ball, and invited all the Oklahoma Ranch boys and girls, and believe me, he la a regular fellow all right and certainly has boosters with this show. Here's luck. Raymond. Lottie Mayer, ibe diving Venus, Is sure a queen of the water, and la featured over the nanuses' time, and Is worthy. I met her at Edmonton. My old friend, John Bunny, of the Vltagraph Oo. Is Just a big favorite up here, as in Cuba, or the States or England.

It la the laat place you con reach by rail, and four hundred miles further North than any jther town In these parts. We gave a show there last Mon- day to record business. Billy Held, the old circus clown and minstrel, Joined at Cagnry, and lie and Don London, tbo acrobatic cop, make a team that is hard to beat. The high Jumping horses ore featured, being rid- den by Florence Moore and Emma Blair. s RODBIN'S "SOCIETY CIRCUS." Frank A. Bobbins Is going to put o new one over In the circus business ou Julv 30. The show was originally scheduled to appear at Mnnasqimn, N. J., on that dale, but some of the Summer residents at Spring Lake, two miles away, who aro Interested in a big hospital there, made a proposition to Mr. Dobbins before be got his Man- osrjuan billing up, and he agreed lo take tbo Bhow to the Summer resort. Under the agreement the Summer people arc to take charge of an advance sale of tickets. Inject enough local people In the program to give It the opipcaranco of n society circus, and act as boost- ers In every way for two weeks In advance of the show. Not only Is Ihe billing put up In the usual places In the country round about, but a lot of rho big hotels have permitted lithographs announcing the show to be placed In conspicuous places In their corridors. The local papers are running the stories about the show, strong, and as a result. RoMilns Is getting a tut of advertising for bis Long Brauch and Asbury Park dotes, which are nearby. . , ^ . In addition to the regrtlar reserved seats forty Loses will be erected especially for the show, and sold at a big advance sale over the regular re- served scat rates.

Franklin Fort la one of Ihe most active boosters of tbo affair. It waa through Mr. Fart's son, Leslie It. Fort, who has been a personal friend of Mr. Robblns for many years, that the acbemo was pulled off. BUFFALO WILD WEST. CUMMINS' FAR EAST AND V. C. SEAVER'S fflPPODROHE. YOUNG COL BT AL. rniELBAn.

Conroy, of Conroy and Grlmley, concert team, with several other boys frcro the show, were entertained by tbe Riverside Boat Club, at Forest Lake Park, near here. The club has fine quartets, and were very gei'crous In showing tbe Wild West people a pleasant time. Grlmley, the other half of the team, was with his folks, at Worcester, Mass- over Sunday. W. M Attebcry, bond roaster of the big show bsnd, Intends to surprise tbe vaudeville patrons this Winter with a truly novel offering, a real cowboy band. Suitable scenic effects of a West- ern character will provide tbe local color to the stage setting, and with the baton In Atteltery's capable hands Ihe act should go very big. Atle- bery always has a knack of surrounding himself with excellent talent, nnd his bands have been ncled for many years as snappy, fast organisation. It Is a safe bet that the venture, this Winter, will be a huge success. THE OPES FORL'M. The latest victory of Ihe Suffragettes was oc- casioned by the conversion uf Joe Frohsln.

Barney McCsnn says there are three things In Ireland the superstitious folks are wary of. namely, tbe will of the wisp, tho Banshee, and the Irish fairy. James Welsh and wife took a hurried trip from Manhattan, I see, to Buffalo, Just to see their many friends with the 101 Real Wild West. James is the same philosopher he always was. After scrutinising our various departments with n critical cptlc, he acclaimed ft, to use bis own expression, sll the name Implies, a Real Wild West and an eye opener. James ought to know as he haa trouped with the biggest nnd best of them. Although the weather was somewhat dis- mal Mrs. Welsh burst upon u* like a ray of sunshine, which always becomes contagious when Celia Is around. Mr. Welsh and the Sirs, are about to open there own ahow, and If good wishes are practleal they ought to be a decided sneers..
