The prosecution in the present case
TMB brought by an organization which

Last summer, in Common Pleas Court
No. 6, an injunction wan sought to
force the Park Commissioner to stop
Sunday sports in rnlrtnount Park.
Judge Stnake at that time gave an ex
haustive opinion, in which he ruled
against granting any restraining order,
en the ground that the games in the
Park wore not a nuisance and were not
illegal, and that the lommlssloncrs had
BOt exceeded their powers in granting
permission to plaj Sunday games in the
Park.

The University Kxtension Orchestra,
Albert N. Hoxje, conductor, gave its

last evening before a good-sized audi

singing in which they participated.
The orchestra played n number of se

Verdi, Rachmaninoff, and others, which
were all well received. There were two
soloists. Adela Uowne Kirby, soprano,
and William A. Schmidt, cellist. Miss
Klrby sang first, with orchestra, the
aria, "IUtornia Vincltor," from Alda,
and was obliged to respond with an
ercore. On her second appearance she
fnve it group of songs by Campbell
'ipton, Woodman and La Forge.
Mr. Schmidt scored n great success
as a sollst, when he appeared in a group
of cello numbers, n Danish folk-song
of Sandby, Friml's Spanish Hcrenndo
and the lirillltnt nnd difficult "At the
Fountain of Popper." His tone was fine
nnd smooth in qunlity nnd his execution
fluent nnd ensy.
At next Thursday's concert the as
sisting artist will be Lewis James How
