Crescent Athletic Clufr. 
Bay Ridge, L. I., Dec. 17.— There was a good attendance of 
members, notwithstanding the heavy snowstorm. The chief fea- 
ture of interest was the trapshooting competition of the trade 
experts, who were the club guests. The experts were of the 
highest skill, and each had records indicative of valiant doings 
in tournaments everywhere. They were Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott, 
R. O. Heikes, Alexis duPont, Hood Waters, Fred Gilbert, Jack 
Fanning, James T. Skelly, T. A. Marshall, G. W. Huff and Luther 
J. Squier. The first contest was a team match, 100 targets per 
man, six men on a team. A sterling silver trophy rewarded the 
expert -who made the highest score. Gilbert proved to be the 
winner, with the excellent snowstorm score of 91.

It has been announced that arrangements are now being made 
for a big production of Marie Corelli's famous novel, "Thelma," 
for a run on Broadway. The interest excited by the dramatiza- 
tion of this characteristic work of the English authoress has been 
marked, and it is believed that a prosperous run can be arranged. 
In the meantime the play has already been produced in New 
Ycrk under the management of Mr. F. F. Proctor, at his 125th 
Street Theatre, and will shortly be done at the Fifth Avenue by 
the other section of the Proctor Permanent Stock Company. This 
is by no means the first time that Mr. Proctor has given New 
Yorkers the first glimpse of a play which has subsequently been 
produced at the houses where two dollars are charged for admis- 
sion, and it would seem that in "Thelma" he has found one of 
the spring successes for a production house. The atendance at the 
Harlem house during the run of "Thelma" was about the heaviest 
of the season, and inquiry is already being made at the Fifth 
Avenue as to when the piece will be produced at the downtown 
theatre. Other pieces are being arranged for first production at 
the Proctor houses, together with some of the most notable of 
recent dramatic offerings.
