LOCAL Roaders are remind :d of the drama to be sereened at th2 Coristiansted Thertre this evening entitled His Wonderful Chance. The synopsis which has appear- ed sine» vesterday and will also be found in this issue gives promise of an excep- tionally entertaining production which all lovers of 2ood pictures will be sure to like. It is understond that the District Court will b 2 in session today. For the pas days people have been asking us ahov the closing of the gate and bringinc our notice that it was still closed .ast Monday. ¢We are not attending court and have no intentionto fizht othe . peo- ple’s battles especially when they should know how to get about It. We would wager that if there were 5 cent:to be gained nobody would ask us to make public where it could be found; no, . »2 would be many to jump to look for themselvegg. We have said already t' i we think&e public should have ac ess to the court through the gite assi ned for that purpose but we have no 1 eans of compelling this to be done. \ The Government boat Grebe retur..d to St. Thomas on Tuesday afternool carrying among other passengers M., and Mrs. L.
