ID you see the camels marching, Elephants and kangaroos? Monkeys, tigers, lions, zebras Like a lively score of zoos? Then the acrobating acrobats, The clowns- my was grand; But the center of excitement Was the booming circus band! We may rhapsodize of Wagner, Of Mendelssohn and such, of Damrosch and of Thomas, Whose batons -well, beat the Dutch! But the music in the glaring tent, Is what we understand, Heart and head and pulse go dancing With the booming circus band. BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENING OPENS SEASON Good Actors and Music in but Slow Action; Plot Was Lacking.

The formal opening of the Auditorium Saturday night was the brilliant social evening of the early theatrical season. The house was a good one and with the background of the attractively redecorated building with the new portieres, carpets, and new furnishings, the scene. was a metropolitan one. "In Papama," the musical comedy that was chosen for presentation was well staged; the work of the chorus and of the principals was cleverly done. But the really excellent company was handicapped by a poorly constructed and inadequate play.

The traditional Philadelphia lawyer would have been puzzled to find out what the hodgepodge was all about. The plot, if there was one, was vague and cloudy, the action slow. The chorus that made the hit of the was a love-making one evening, principals; 'after their exit, a number of the prettiest chorus girls crossed the stage- one at a time -Impersonating girls of different countries, and each sang her little repetition of the chorus, picking out man in the audience as her mark, to the great delight of the double row of Asheville school boys in the front seats. When the are light was directed on an occupant of an upper box and the little French girl played Juliet to his balconied Romeo the crowd went wild. The singing was exceptionally good, Cocke-Wofford.

The announcement of the engagement and approaching marriage of Miss Matiella Cocke and Charles Pickney Wofford came as a complete surprise to Miss Cocke's girl friends who were invited to an informal tea at Mrs. Philip C. Cocke's Saturday afternoon, when the first hint of the coming happy event was given. The wedding will take place Saturday, November 19. The details will be given later, when definitely completed.

There is an old song with the refrain "Rolling in the dew makes the milkmaids fair." The Kneipp cure for all nervous" disorders that was so popular a few years ago, prescribed walking barefoot on the dewy grass. A club of fashionable young women in New York have taken up and amplifled the Kneipp health code, and made it a beauty giving process. Without shoes or stockings and with low necked, short sleeved bodices they walk and' roll upon the wet grass in the late evenings and in the early dawn. The results are said to be wonderful in improvement to the complexions. The Tahkecostee club will give an informal dance in the club rooms Thursday evening, October 20.

Asheville is, socially, very quiet and the informal dances given by the club men of the younger social set are especially popular, this season. Mrs. Erwin Sluder was hostess at the Country club Saturday afternoon, where afternoon tea tables were a center of attraction. The weather was ideal for golf and tennis and many of the members were out for the afternoon. The Monday afternoon dance given by the Bingham cadets at the Battery Park hotel, was omitted from the social calendar this week, because of the strong counter attraction of the circus.

Davidson's Mrs. M. W. Baltimore, Schaeffer, of Dresden, Germany, who with her two children, was a passenger on the Breslau of the North German Lloyd line. The steamer, arriving before the Baltic, had on board a case of cholera, and the Breslau was held in quarantine four days, to the discomfort and impatience of passengers and waiting friends.

The steamer had a clean bill of health, but aboard was a large number of Russian immigrants who were regarded with suspicion. A Russian physician was summoned telegram from Washington to thoroughly examine the steerage and its passengers, after a great deal of excitement and red tape the Breslau passengers were admitted.

Three passenger train wrecks between Dillsboro and Murphy within less than three weeks is the record of the Murphy division of the Southern railway under superintendence of T. S. Boswell, all of the wrecks being due to spreading rails caused by rotten crossties, according to statements of persons who were on the derailed train. The first wreck occurred near Wilmot September 30 passenger train No. 18 left the rails, turning on its side and seriously injuring W.

T. Mason and slightly injuring several others; the second occurred just a week later when the same train left the rails Governor's Island, an injured 21 persons being renear. ported, and one of these W.

The tender, baggage and one passenger coach turned to the side on a slight embankment. The engine. and rear coach remained partly on the rails. There were about 20 people on the train but no one was much more than scratched. Deputy Collector Henry of the internal revenue department who was one of the passengers in the wreck yesterday stated to a Gazette-News representative this morning that the road between Dillsboro and Murphy was in bad condition and that after the wreck yesterday it could plainly be seen that rotten cross.

ties caused the derailment. In some instances he said the ties were too much decayed to hold the spikes. Men who constantly travel the far end of the Murphy division say that the condition of the roadbed is bad, and to insure safety something in the way of repairs should be done at once. NINE ARRESTS MADE UP TO 3 O'CLOCK TODAY Fifteen of 25 or 30 Cases in Court Today Were Charges of Drunkenness. In city police court this morning Judge Cocke presided over a 25 to 30 cases, 15 of the defendants being charged with either drunkenness or drunk and disorderly.

It is evident that the court tomorrow will consist largely of another "drunk" docket. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the police had made nine arrests. Eight of the defendants taken into custody were charged with being "drunk on the streets." The ninth defendant, a man named Hatfield, is charged with picking the pockets of several people.in town. The police are expecting a lively time this afternoon and this evening. There is considerable drinking in town which naturally follows the advent of a circus, while it is also probable that considerable quantities of "booze" have been laid in.

The police commission, in an effort to take care of the situation, has caused the entire police force to remain on duty an addition of several special officers and, it is said, four plain. clothes men. The police are making every effort to either prevent the gale of whiskey in Asheville today or to trap the violators of the law. The plain clothes men are constantly on the job as are also the regular force and the extras. That the vigilance of the police department is having its effect was evidenced today by the fact that two or three soft drink places of the town are closed.
