I. thmipht of h?re. Oimpotent judge pro-
nounce the team this year stronger than the
famous one of 1902. They outweigh the
'varsity tram by ebout ten pounds to the
man and are faster.
The Indian quarterbaok Ketley will have
sufficient support this year to make a touchdown-perhaps
two or three.
Ross the fullback hss enough Indian
blood make him fast and alert and his
208 pounds make him one of the mom valu-
able men on the team.
Puckett Cornell and TJtay. all nl I m.m
have developed this year wonderfully and
will hold their own against their respective
opponents. .
The eleven thl. year goes to Austin with
1lentv of substitutes which was not the case
ast year. Although the game played thl.

the first team holding eut to a man so
far as necessitated or commendable chnnge
was concerned.

die" is the refrain. 1
The special will leave here at 7:30 Thurs-
day morning arriving at Austin at 11. Re-
turning leave Austin at about 8 o'clock.

AT THE THEATERS
Wagenhals and Kemper hsve undoubtedly
given the theater public a beautiful and ar-
tle 1 r scenic production In "A Midsummer
Night's Dream." Large and fashionable au-
diences witnessed this Shakespearean re
vtval at the Houston theater yesterday aft-
ernoon and evening and there was a gen-
eral disappointment felt though Its utter
ance was subdued most probably because
Annie Russell waa associated with the com-
pany. Probably the Houston theater stage
Is too smalt or at least we would rather
believe this but the noticeable absence of
members of the company and the beautiful
electrical effects could but cause a wave
of disappointment to run through the au-
dience. Twenty-nine people were oil that
graced the Houston theater stage while 127
were supposed to sppear t
And thus it was that we saw Annie Rus-
sell and her metropolitan company which
only this season had appeared at the Astor
theater In New York elty.
The stage Bettings are splendid and had
the scenes been properly handled and with
the necessary electrical effects the scenlo
splendor and artistic harmony would truly
have been worthy a Shakespearean revival.
Wagenhals and Kemper did not assume to
give the production a dassling effect but a
more harmonious scenlo creation. The cos-
tumes such few as were seen were not of
wide range but were in accordance with the
general effect ot the forest scenes .which
Picturesquely presented the home of
In fact the costumes wers -almost too sorii.
ber snd were notrfd for an absence of tinsel
and bright colors which so usually are seea
In a scenic production . .
No laces no lingerie are seen and the
fairies sprites and elves which appear wear
costumes of mellow low tints which har-
monise with the forest surroundings and at
times a sprite or an elf Is mistaken for a
portion of the background against which he
Is resting until he get. Into action when hie
Individuality is perceptible.
Of course these forest scenes are where
the greater part of the aotion of the play
takea placer and while there la a sufficient
excuse for the portrayal of the spectacular
this meana of Interesting the audience is
not resorted to.
And the more to be wondered at I. the
selection of such a part for Miss Annie Rus-
sell one of the East's favorite dramatlo
stars. There is little of the dramatic in the
role of Puck In this Shakespearean play and
at beat Miss Russell could get little out ot
the part though with her Infectious and
musical laugh and graceful action she man-
aged to make an Interesting and amusing
Robin Goodfellow. Miss Russell ts a dainty
actress and possesses a rare humor so nec-
essary to the pnrt.
She possesses a wonderfully sweet voloe
and her laugh ts Infectious which Is so
absolutely necessary for the requirements
of the role. She was costumed so becoming-
ly that It seemed n inseparable part of
the character creatii. '
Her aerial flights were always the cause
for whispered adjectives among the audience
though they bordered too much on the spec-
tacular and when she was loosened from the
suspending wire she proved more natural
snd sprightly and captivated her audience
with her wlnsnmenes. and Joviality.
In the .election of a supporting company
for Miss Russell. Wagenhals and Kemper
have not achieved the success of their scenlo
display. Lionel Adams as Demetrius At-
kins Ijtwrence as Egeous and Ina Brooks
as Tltlnla were good as were Thomas Cof-
fin Cooke as Quince. W. H. Gllmore as
Bnug. Richard le as Flute and Hubert Os-
borne as Starveling. These lset named were
excellent Shakespearean clowns. The other
members of the company were very weak.

The original eight Bedouin Arabs who
created a sensation all over the country In
their wonderful performances are the top
liners at the Majestic theater this week and
they do an acrobatic act which has not been
equalled. Many aerobe ts have been seen at
the Majestic theater but none can be ranked
in the same class. That the Arab has no
equal when It comes to the reckless whirl-
wind of the body and revolving in midair
Is demonstrated at every performance. There
are other acta on the bill this week which

CATTLE STAMPEDED
RECKLESS SHOOTDrO OF HUHTEEj
AROUHD OIL MILLS CAUSE.
Complaints Ears Been Haas and City
. Authorities Will Endeavor to Pat
S Stop to the Practice. ' . '
Complaints ot the reckless shooting . of
hunters In the vicinity of the Merchants and
Planters oil mills situated In the Fifth ward
within the city limits have become so nu-
merous that the city authorities have decided
to step in and put a atop proposition Imate-
diately. . . '
With this end In view Mounted Officer Lub-
bock was detailed to guard the neighborhood
where the complaints come from and make
arrests whenever hunters are caught shooting
within the limits.
It Is said that the .hooting of the hunters
became so reckless that cattle that were be-
ing (ed at the oil mills were filled with shot
and caused to stampede doing great damage.
Since the officer was stationed out tnere
last Sunday two arrests hsve been made and
fines were assessed for firing flreurma with-
in the limits. . i
The detailing of Officer Lubbock out on this
work which will likely command his atten-
tion for some time has made a change In the
night force necessary. During his absence
his place will be tilled by Henry Depenbrork
and Depenbrock's beat in the red light die.
trict will be covered by Earle McFarlane
while McFarlaue's beat will be looked after
by Patrolman Monroe.
