second season next Tuesday evening, Sep
tember Gath, at Armory Hall. The Club
has gone into considerable expense in re-
modelling the stage and procuring splendid
scenery and beautiful curtain, and the
erection of green room in the rear of the
stage, all of which expense the Club earn
estly hopes the people of Ludlow will help
them meet by patronizng their efforts to
amuse and instruct. 1t is not the inten-
ton of the ladies and gentlemen composing
the Galaxy to make any money out of the
entertainments they give, for it is loves
labor with them, but they do, and ought to
expect the most liberal support from the
people for their laudable efforts to bring first
class amateur entertainments to their very
door during the long, weary months of
winter. The following is their programme
for opening night;
Musical Prelude piano .......Mrs Anna B. Knight
Solo of Shubert's ''Serenade" Mr.. o. NJ. Shannon
