HAVE ORGANIZED
Promising very interesting tilings
musical for Anchorage the coming
season and for many seasons to come
several ladies and gentlemen now
residents of Anchorage, have orga
nized a club under the caption:
THE ANCHORAGE CHORAL CLUB.
Its purpose in general is to encour
age musical Interests in Anchorage,
and devote much of their time to
church choir work, gratis.
This lofty and praise,worthy mo
tive has the true ring; certainly the
spirit of good fellowship, and should
have the support and endorsement
of everyone having the welfare of
Anchorage at heart, and no doubt
it will.
The club is only in its infancy, but
the rapid progress it has made musi
cally is due largely to the untiring
efforts of Rev. .Tames L. McBride,
and to the musical intelligence dis
played by those under his direction.
Mr. McBride does not direct the
members of the club, in the ordinary
sense of the word. He molds the
music before them as though he
were modeling a visible shape from
some plastic substance. He will con
tinue in the capacity of musical di
rector until a director can be engag
"d. Negotiations are now pending
with one or two musicians who are
quite capable of filling the position.
The club promises several public
presentations in the near future, and
to this end have begun rehearsals
for that very effective choral num
ber. “1’nfold Ye Portals” from Gou
nod's "Redemption.” Other preten
tious works will be presented from
time to time.
\Y. B. Clayton, formerly manager
of the Seatlte Symphony orchestra,
and who held similar positions with
Victor Herbert, in New York and
Max Zach, in St. Louis, is very en
thusiastic over the club, and very
much interested in its future. Mr.
Clayton is now a full-fledged Anchor,
ageite, and will give the cluo the
benefit of his experience with large
musical organizations, both vocal
ar.d instrumental .
The club is governed by regitlarlv
drafted constitution, by-law's and
rules of order. The charter mem
bers are: Rev. James L. McBride,
Mrs. 1’. .1. McDonald, Mrs. A. J. Wal
ters, W. II. Clayton. Mildred Sic
Vean. Mrs. Fred 1’olley, Myrtle Rec
ord, Edna Dunlap, W. A. Miner, E.
Thomsen, O. P. Strom, Mrs. J. E.
Robarts. Helen L. Pelton, John W.
Horfel, Mr. and Mrs. W. Manning, F.
C. Kobely and D. D. Vint.
The offices recently elected are:
F. C. Kobely, president; Mrs. Helen
L. Pelton vice-president; David D.
Vint, secretary; Mrs. Fred Polley,
treasurer.
The standing committees are a
membership committee, of which
Mrs J. E. Robarts is chairman, and
a social committee, of which W. B.
Clayton is chairman.
Mrs. Robarts invites communica
tions either in person or by letter
relative to membership or other mat
ters regarding the club. In fact, any
member of the club would be pleas
ed to hear from eligibles. The club
is desirous of having a large active
membership, and is is expected that
a large honorary membership will
be enrolled, likewise a long list of
patrons and patronesses.
A copy of the constitution and by
laws will be furnished on application
to the secretary.
\VHESTI.IV<i MATCH PROMISES
TO RE GOOD EXHIBITION
The wrestling match between An
dy Martin and Casey .Tr ies promises
to be interesting, as both men are in
good shape and are training for the
match. Martin is the favorite, al
though Jones has his following and
both me.n are out to win. The pub
lic is anxious to see Martin in action,
as he is a clean-cut gentleman and
has a reputation from the states.
Jones is an unknown quantity in
the wrestling game, but has put on
some splendid exhibitions with the
gloves and has the nerve, to meet
Martin and has always proven him
self a good sport.
Jones will weigh in at about 180
and Martin at 17.",. The preliminary
between Kinkaid and OarlsoA should
also be a good match and the two ;
matches promise to draw a big
crowd and deserve it, as this will be
a clean exhibition of skil'. strength
and science. The match will he pul
led off the night of July 3 at fto- j
barts’ hall and the admission is only
one dollar.
SAW OF IOWA
IS CROWN CLOWN
NEW YORK, June 26.—Nick Alt
rock and Germany Schaffer, comedy
kingpins of the coaching box, have
kissed their crowns good bye.
Carl Sawyer, a young man from
Des Moines, la., now warming the
Senators’ bench and waiting for a
chance to horn in at second base, has
capped their glory.
Sawyer rambled onto the third
base line In the opening game at the
Polo Grounds and in a minute was
the. new pet of 20,000 fans.
He literally held up the game for
a time because Caldwell, the big
Yankee pitcher, could not work from
laughing at his antics.
And when Tom Connolly, umpire,
told him to cut it out, he turned his
back and told Tom more things by
wiggling his shoulder than Jawn Ev
ers could say in a wee.k.
Sawyer performs somersaults that
presage a broken neck, but always
comes up smiling.
He sends his head back and forth
as if his neck were rubber.
He can imitate a horse to perfec
tion and when he attaches long slips
of paper to his ear and turns his
horse to a mule the game stops.
Sawyer will stick whether he plays
second or not.
