The company is one of strongest ever presented in the popular priced houses.

Andy Gardner plays the principal comedy role of Patsy, while handsome Louise Auber plays the leading feminine part. They are both well supported by such clever performers as Vinnle Henshaw, Franciola, May Belle. Ida Nicolai, Barton and Wakefield, Ben Higgins and King and Tom Barrett. It requires three acts and five scenes to develop the plot around which the humor revolves. First you are up in the Catskill Mountains stopping at Lookout Inn.

The landlord is a German; his daughter. Tracie, is aq actress, home for the summer; she has brought a lot of friends with her. Among the guests is a French marquis, with a jealous American wife; they have lots of title, but little cash. They have a son, and the son has a valet, by the name of Patsy. Patsy is a very bad boy, and causes a of very seHous complications, but, of course, they are intended to make the audience laugh, and they succeed in doing this.

There is also a rich butcher, with two handsome daughters, a confidence man, an old buck sport, and a fly soubrette. Surrounding all these is the chorus of 20 fair maidens, who do the choruses and decorate the background on which Is to be seen the various misadventures and tangles. There is a strong bill of vaudeville interjected during the action of the comedy. EXCITING CAMPAIGN CLOSES IN CAMBRIDGE Rallies by Both McNamee and Non- Partisan Forces MUSEUM Owing to the reduction in the price of admission to 5 cents, the capacity of this handsome museum was taxed to the utmost from the opening til! the closing hour yesterday, and visitors were delighted with the great show provided for such a small admission fee. In the curio halls are the Cliffords, tie Sabres, sensational sWord swallowing act, in which Miss Clifford performs seeming impossibilities.

The Indian prinoesses. Hiawatha and Wonjta, are very prepossessing. and their basket making is an interesting feature. Wyoming Jdck and Prairie Nell give a clever exhibition of roping and trick and fancy rlflei shooting. The great Fielding, the human flsh, presents a wonderful aquatic performance in a massive glass James Morris, the original elastic skin is a- most odd and interesting curiosity.

Professor Levina, master of inodern magic, is not only clever with his magic, but introduces plenty of comedy In his act. The vaudeville shows in the bijou auditorium are up to the standard. Among those on the bill worthy of special mention are La Mount and Paulette, in a clever comedy sketch; Harry Vay, expert cane and Indian club manipulator; the Greely girls are good singers and wonderful buck and wing dancers; Worth and Worth, the silly kid and the soubrette, and the others are above the average. Wednesday night amateurs will be allowed to display their talents. Cambridge was the scene of much excitement last evening, the occasion being the closing of the most strenuous.and exciting campaign that the University City has witnessed for a long time.

Both parties made whirlwind tours of the city, especially the Democrats, who held rallies in every section of the city. The non-partisans held big ralHes in North Cambridge, Red Jacket Hall and Trade Association Hall in Cambridge, at the East End Mission Hall and the Daly Club in East Cambridge, addressing 10,000 people in all. Mayor McNamee, the Democratic candidate, was assisted by a large array of i local Demgc.ratic orators and also had a few speakers from Boston. Cedar Hall, North Cambridge; Armory Hall, Brattle square; Armory Hall, Central square, and Institute Hall, East Cambridge, were used by the preachers of Democracy, together with the numerous small political headquarters. At Institute Haji, the largest rally was held, said in part: the Democrats who are with the actual state of affairs in tne city of Cambridge, it is laughable to read the prediction given by General Champlin ir.

The general has fallen into the same mistake that last non-partisan leaders made. fanciful picture which he draws of the change votes from the Democratic to the non-partisan side in election, each change preceded with a large is absurd. General Champlin ts evidently being much deceived by a class of nondescripts, sometimes called political boodlers, who are working the general for all he is worth. Even General counsellors in his own party have advised him that his NICKELODEON ALLEN SEES GLOOM AT HEADQUARTERS Leaders Pass In and Out Oblivious of His Presence May Yet Ran for Tells an Automobile Story Yesterday was a gloomy one at the Republican city headquarters, for, although the crowd was there and the office rent went on just the same, and the telephone bell kept up its busy tingle SU day long, there was something lacking in buoyancy usually displayed in political campaigns.

There was anger in some faces and sadness in others, and it all came about because Candidate Swallow was not in evidence. Not so with Candidate Allen for street epmmlssloner. He was there the greatest part of the day. As caller after caller dropped in they gajve him a look. Some spoke to him, but it was not Allen shev wanted.

The candidate made the post of the situation and sat in the outer Office with the rest of the meek and lowly In the party. am tired said the candidate. had to use my feet all day, because my poor horse gave Just then a Ward 10 Republican dropped in and told Allen that if he wanted to get elected he had better get some carriages; to which the candidate replied: will be carriages enough all tha wards to get out the vote for me. Of course, they all Dr. Pierce and Manager Haynes flitted In and out during the day, but not without seeing their candidate for street commissioner, who sat with his eyes on the door.

He made no comment on their seeming indifference to him, and when the headquarters closed for the night Allen went home without any concern as to what the ballot box will say today that will Interest him. One thing Allan is certain to do, and that is remain in the Republican party and fight it out another day. Two years hence he may be a Republican candidate for Mayor against George N. Swallow if he decides to run again. That is the way Allen has of getting even.

Thompson Fools Puszled Marshall Thompson was at Republican city committee headquarters Saturday, and when asked what ho thought of the campaign, remarked in Weber-Fieids fashion: "What it it? Never the like of It, Why don't you ask me how old is Ann, or is the gypsy moth a bug or a A very strong list of attractions is offered at this popular house this week, and as a result the attendance was very large. In the curio.halls is seen Pierre Gasnier. the French champion strong man, whose feats of strength are simply wonderful.

He is the only man in the world who puts up with hand from the shoulder a dumbbell weighing twico as much as he does himself. He will be seen at every performance. The soubrettes' convention is composed of a number of vivacious and talented young ladies, who sing and dance in a charming way. Young Alphonso, the champion bag puncher, is giving a splendid exhibition of bag punching. Walter Wentworth, the oldest living contortionist, is seen in his novel act.

as is also Salem Sid, the Oriental conjurer, in new feats of legerdemain, and Vito Basile, the Vege table king, In his novel exhibition of carving. In the theatre is presented refined vaudeville, with Si Sloeum, ban joist; Marion Barry, Monroe and St Clair, society artists; Annette Powers, descriptive vocalist; Elsie Renez, winsome soubrette, and Weston and Howe, blackface comedians. Friday evening will be amateur night as usual. THE PENSION FUND CONCERT Much Interest is given to the announce ments regarding the concert ih aid of the pension fund of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from the fact that In addition to the appearance of Mme. Melba, the programme will introduce Slgnorina Sassoli, the young Italian harpist, of the Melba concert company, in solo numbers.

Mme. Melba's gracious action in offering her services for this occasion gives further evidence of her kindly interest in the welfare of the members of Boston's great orchestra. The sale of seats for this concert will begin at Symphony Hall on Friday morning. THE ARB0S STRING QUARTET The second of the season's series of concerts by the Arbos String Quartet at Jordan Hall next Monday evening may safely be anticipated with pleasure by lovers of chamber music programmes, as a most interesting list of compositions is announced for this event. Arthur Whiting, pianist, is to be the assisting artist in the quartet by Brahms in minor for piano and strings, and Schu string quartet in A major, and string quartet In flat will also be played.

Will Says McNamee non-partisan friends at the close of last campaign made equally an absurd predictions, going so far as to claim 1663 majority for their candidate, and keeping up this claim even until the polls were closed on election day. for the carefully conceived scheme, there are still honest men in the city of Cambridge who are dissatisfied with the methods which have been followed by the nonpartisans in this campaign, and who have signified their Intention of voting the Democratic ticket.

There will be probably two of these for every Democrat who will bolt his party. machine, which they are talking about, is simply 8000 voters who will deposit their ballots for the Democratic candidates tomorrow. They have chosen these men as candidates in open and free caucus and they will go as freely to the polls to register their will for them and for the principles of Democracy. Wc are sure to Alderman James T. Barrett, the Martin Lomasney of Cambridge, vigorously attacked Mr.

Lester B. Harlow, nonpartisan candidate for thqpCommon Council in Ward 5, at every hall be spoke in. Barrett stated that Mr. Harlow used the vilest language "of any orator on the stump in Cambridge this Rev. Mr.

Duckrey The Rev. J. Henry Duckrey, colored, said at the colored rallies: doubt you have received in this mall a circular letter from the non-partisan headquarters relative to one Mr. John Buckley, Mayor appointee on the board of trustees of the Public Library, who. they claim, slandered our race, when Mr.

William H. Lewis was running for office. This de-' ceptlve circular only goes to show you; the desperate condition of this non-parti-1 son partjf.

Alderman Stephen Harrington said that Jeremiah F. Donovan Was biggest in politics." Among the other speakers on the Democratic platform were Representative James F.

Aylward, Andrew J. Rady, Representative Dietrich, William P. Nickerson, Timothy T. Good. Alderman J.

Edward Barry, Alderman Stephen Harrington and others. Non-Partisan Rallies On the eve of election a tremendous wave of enthusiasm for the non-partisan cause swept over Cambridge last night, when fully 10,000 people gathered In different parts of the city to participate in a final demonstration for Judge Daly and the non-partisan candidates. Mayor administration received a scathing rebuke, the gathered thousands cheered every point made against him. Judge Daly, General Champlin, Alderman Coveney, Assessor Donovan, J. Walter Wardwell and other speakers toured the city from early evening until after midnight.

Each man 'predicted Judge elec- tion and told the people that the Democrats were expecting defeat. Mayor McNamee's treatment of the health department aroused great discussion all the rallies, and the attack was led by Russell Crane, who came fortified with statistics. He. showed that since the displacement of Dr. Dow from the charge of the diph- therla hospital iti Cambridge the death rate in the hospital had increased I from 6 to 17 per cent since February, and that a leading medical expert of Boston declared that the disease was less viru- lent this year than last year.

Coveney Attacks Policy Alderman Coveney fiercely attacked the policy of dealing with the police department and the street department. Assessor Donovan, amid great applause, said that he had been accused of being a traitor to his people. "My people are no people but the citizens of America," he declared. Judge Daly declared that economy had been practised at the expense of the best Interests of Cambridge, and that the Mayor was paving the way for an absolute dominion over the city. Alderman Coveney, Assessor Donovan and others claimed that the Mayor and his supporters had laid a plot to break up the non-partisan meetings Friday evening, and that their supporters openly boasted that the police who interfered with the rioters would be punished by transfers.

Held Five Rallies Rallies werq held in Odd Hail, North Cambridge, Trade Association Hail, Red Jacket Hall, East End Mission Hall and at the Daly Club. Much amusement was created by J. Walter Wardwell, who gave a description of what he called the torchlight of which marched the streets headed by some of Mayor suoDorters. Judge Daly said at midnight that never expected to see such tremendous enthusiasm as prevailed last night, and that he felt sure of election. HANDEL AND HAYDN The demand for the single seats for Handel and Haydn Christmas performances of which will given next Sunday and Christmas In Symphony Hall, is remarkably good, the first day of the sale opening yesterday.

The list of soloists makes a very good attraction. In addition, the society will have the assistance of first-class instrumental talent, 50 players having been engaged.
