BSeveral weeks of careful re- hearsing under Joseph A. Haffey and John J. Crean has brought the partici- pants to a stage of perfection, and it is belleved that the presentation to- morrow, will outdo any previous pro- ductions glven in this city. The en- tire proceeds will be donated to the New Britain men engaged in the serv- ice of the United States. It has been the belief in some quarters of the city that the affair has been arranged for Camp Devens soldiers, but this is erroneous. Every local soldier and sajlor will reap benefits from the fund. At least ten officers from ' Camp Devens will be in attendance, includ- ing Major W. W. Wills, thg popular commanding officer of most of the local boys. Captains Daly, Morgan and Campbell will also be in atten- dance and Lieutenants Daly, Mullaney, McDanlel, Gammon, Plough, Higgins and Sheridan will be included in the party. Special reservations have been made for the officers in the decorated boxes and Captain C. Harry Barton, First Lieutenants, Thomas F. Jackson, ‘William J. 8mith and Raymond James and Second Lieutenants W. W. T. Squire and H. Leslie Eddy have also been invited to occupy the guests’ bbxes. Officers of New Britain lodge, B. P. O. E, and the Y. M. C. A. who, through generous contribution of their halls for rehearsals, have been of ma- terial assistance in making the pre- liminary work a success, will also oc- have been sclected after careful at- tention.
