New Athletic Club at Freeporti
The young men of Freeport have i again demonstrated their progressive-; ness, despite numerous insinuations to ! the contrary, by organizing an athletic i club on a gigantic scale. The new club I has been regularly and legally incor-1 porated under the name of the Unity Athletic Club of Freeport. i
The plan and purpose of this or !' ganization is to promote athletics of' every description and hold smokers and ! stags semi-monthly in order to properly i maintain the various branches of' athletics properly and without calling | upon the gocKl citizens of this village | for contributions. :
It is not intended to restrict the residence of members to the village ofi Freeport, but any white, male person, i over the age of eighteen years, is eligi-1 ble for membership. |
The first smoker and stag of this i clbu will be held at the clubrooms at the Sigmond Opera House at Freeport, I ten April , 1910, at 8:30 p. m. The ] club has a lease upon the Sigmond I Opera House for afternoons and Mon-1 day nights. Any club member has the • privilege of using the gymnasium ev- j ery afternoon. It is the intention of j the incorporators, to have such a large | membership as to allow no one but! legitimate club members in good stand-1 ing to attend the stags. The object in { excluding others is to establish a pre-! mitun on membership and in that way arouse a popalar desire to become a! member.
Two very intereating events are about to take place in tne Opera House. Mrs. Jarley's Wax Wqrks Tuesday evening, Apr. 12, and Mr. Raymore's player piano recital April 19. ' You don't want to miss either as both will be good and for a good cause, the first to help the Guild of the Charch of the Transfiguration, the second to illustrate bow much good one can de rive from a piano ^fiHt any member of the family can play. The invitation to Mr. Raymore^s |leeital bave been sent —if you bave been ov«rlooked drop hira a postal and ape will be forth¬ coming.

Caught in Gambling Raid
The police raided the Seaside Athletic club on information that gaming was being practiced and among others caught in the drag net were Doctor Elisha Hastings, a visiting English¬ man, Christopher Cutting and William Fuller. The latter gave tne name of Bill Joyce when arraigned in court and managed to escape recognition. All were admitted to bail, after a night spent in the lock-up, but Fuller's troubles are only beginning. He must appear in court at half past ten and at eleven he is scheduled to be mar¬ ried to one of the most charming society women in town. A nice predicament for a bride-groom. Obviously he must escape the court or lose the woman of bis choice. How he does so successful¬ ly, what a labyrinth of lies he becomes ¦entangled in, what hair breadth es- ca(ies he passes through and what side¬ splitting situations he plunges himself and others into are all told and pictured in the most successful comedy of years. "Hello Bill" is to be played at the Opera House next Friday night, April 15. No comedy ever produced has en¬ joyed the run of "Hello Bill" and the company is the same one that has been playing the piece for the past two sea¬ sons. It '

The new club I has been regularly and legally incor-1 porated under the name of the Unity Athletic Club of Freeport. i The plan and purpose of this or !' ganization is to promote athletics of' every description and hold smokers and ! stags semi-monthly in order to properly i maintain the various branches of' athletics properly and without calling upon the gocKl citizens of this village for contributions. : It is not intended to restrict the residence of members to the village ofi Freeport, but any white, male person, i over the age of eighteen years, is eligi-1 ble for membership. The first smoker and stag of this i clbu will be held at the clubrooms at the Sigmond Opera House at Freeport, I ten April , 1910, at 8:30 p. m. The ] club has a lease upon the Sigmond I Opera House for afternoons and Mon-1 day nights. Any club member has the • privilege of using the gymnasium ev- j ery afternoon. It is the intention of j the incorporators, to have such a large membership as to allow no one but! legitimate club members in good stand-1 ing to attend the stags. The object in { excluding others is to establish a pre-! mitun on membership and in that way arouse a popalar desire to become a! member. Two very intereating events are about to take place in tne Opera House. Mrs. Jarley's Wax Wqrks Tuesday evening, Apr. 12, and Mr. Raymore's player piano recital April 19. ' You don't want to miss either as both will be good and for a good cause, the first to help the Guild of the Charch of the Transfiguration, the second to illustrate bow much good one can de rive from a piano ^fiHt any member of the family can play.

Caught in Gambling Raid The police raided the Seaside Athletic club on information that gaming was being practiced and among others caught in the drag net were Doctor Elisha Hastings, a visiting English¬ man, Christopher Cutting and William Fuller. The latter gave tne name of Bill Joyce when arraigned in court and managed to escape recognition. All were admitted to bail, after a night spent in the lock-up, but Fuller's troubles are only beginning. He must appear in court at half past ten and at eleven he is scheduled to be mar¬ ried to one of the most charming society women in town. A nice predicament for a bride-groom. Obviously he must escape the court or lose the woman of bis choice. How he does so successful¬ ly, what a labyrinth of lies he becomes ¦entangled in, what hair breadth es- ca(ies he passes through and what side¬ splitting situations he plunges himself and others into are all told and pictured in the most successful comedy of years. "Hello Bill" is to be played at the Opera House next Friday night, April 15. No comedy ever produced has en¬ joyed the run of "Hello Bill" and the company is the same one that has been playing the piece for the past two sea¬ sons.
