Coincident with the arrival of the
L .S. Saturn and the wireless expedit
ionary force, tike citizens of Seward
are to be given a rare, treat. Next
i ucsda) ikignt, at the Artie *irother
nood Hall, the “curtain will rise at o
o'clock lor perhaps one ol the biggest
vaudeville shows ever brought to Al
aska and wil be given as a compli
ment to the citizens and everybody in
Seward is now invited to attend this
event, without cost only with the pro
mise that they will be there with the
g ad hand and give unstinted appro
val of the many acts to be presented.
Capt. Frank Luckel promises that
his aggregation of stars will present
a varied program of song hits, come
tly sketches, dancing turns, a mono
logue, in fact ten or twelve acts that
will ceitainly please. The show Tues
day night will be the first time that it
has been given in its entirety. Various
acts have been given elsewhere but
the complete vaudeville show will be
seen here. And again, the Saturn's
own orchestra will be heard and this
will also prove another treat. From
day to day until the show, just a few
of the good things to be seen at the
show will lie anounced but all citizens
should right now make no other dates
for Tuesday so that they can all be on
hand at IS o’clock sharp for the show
will start on time* and move with re
gular navy precision.
BASE BALL GAME FOR NEXT SUNDAY.
There is a beseball nine among the members of the crew of the U. S. S.
Saturn and the minute they came ashore last night they strutted around and
aid that they could defeat and bunch of ball tossers that ever dared to go out
on the diamond.
Well, this line of talk didn’t make a hit with either the members of the
Seward team nor the members of the soldiers nine. Perhaps, the Saturn s
hunch are the Champions of the Pacific Coast bat Seward must be shown.
Manager Hagstiom of the town nine got bufcy this forenoon amhlined
up his bunch and found that many were missing-gone to' the outside. Then
Hagstrom consulted the soldier’s and they said to count them in on a con
solidated nine and “we will show that bunch of gobs that they are not so
much and if they are they must show it.”
There your ait* in a nutshell. Seward will not back down even for the
Saturn’s bunch and next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be a rippin’,
lootin’ game and that goes.
SATURN’S RETURN TO PORT IS WELCOME.
The people of Seward have looked
forward to the return of the Saturn
.^ith more than ordinary interest
Last winter the navy craft was in
port and Seward tried to give the of
ficers and members of the crew
aboard a good time. The citizens evi
dently succeeded as the Saturn’s crew
gave one of the best dances ever pull
ed off in Seward. It was the big af-1
fair of the winter season and is still j
talked about by all who were fortu
nate in attending.
Lor the pa si; two months it has been I
reported that the Saturn was to re
turn here with many of the former
officers aboard, and new ones who
would prove to be equally as popular
as those who have been transfered.
Then the word was slipped here
about the vaudeville show composed
from the members of the crew and
consequently, we in Seward have been
scanning the lower end of the bay for
the big grey boat to show up. She i§
here and the real happenings are to
follow. Seward citizens are also go
ing to see that the present trip of the
Saturn will be made as enjoyable as
the last.
