It is truly the season's greatest surprise As every number produced rounds of applause. Each number is com- plete in Itself being presented by high-class specialists who are the best that the stage affords. The scenery and costumes cannot be surpassed and give to the show fits distinctive character. One of the great features is Liane D'Bve, the Countess de Millon, sopra. no, who exhibits a thirty 'thousand dollar wardrobe recently puréhased in Paris. She possesses a Yolice of great beauty and power, and ap- pears in several numbers. She captivated the audience. La Terpischore, the interpretative dancer; appeared in the "Oriental Dance." "The Swan," "Spanish," and the '"Bacchanal." Her work was highly sensational and shows that nothing sald of it - in the European theatres has been in any way overdrawn. She is'the most versatile dancer who ever appeared fn Kingston. - Palo and Palet, instrumentalists from the Ziegfleld Follies, appear as musical clowns.

The management of the Canadian National Railways has d ed to piace the large Moguls engines which were recently built at the Canadiad Locomotive Works on the fast night traing between Montreal and King- ston. Six of the sixteen engines of this type have been kept In Ontario while ten have been sent to the Maritime provinces. When the large engines were first turned over 'to the railway company, they were placed on freight trains for the pur- pose of getting them loosened up. They did such fine work on the freights that it was decided to place them in the passenger service, and they have proven very satisfac- tory. The big locomotives are mak- ing the whole trip from Montreal to Toronto, a distance of 330 miles, Whereas three lighter engines used to be required to make this trip. The crews change at Brockville and Belleville as has been the custom for years, but two locomotives saved by using the large ones. A representative of the Whig who 'came from Toronto Tuesday night on train No. 16, leaving Toronto at eleven o'clock, which was drawn by locomotive No, 6004 was greatly im. pressed by the way the Mogul made the trip. Although the train con- sisted of thirtden heavily-loaded coaches, the jerking which has al- ways been so pronounced with the lighter locomotives when they at- tempt to get the train in motion, is entirely eliminated. The engineers report that there is no trouble in keeping the tfalos on time. regard. less of the weight, On Tuesday ight the train was a few minutes early at same of the stations, The Canadian Pacific Rallway have placed a number of new large engines on the service and they are reported to be giving very satistac- tory service.
