- Manager III. E. Bowser and members
of the Barnum gymnasium went to New
Haven, last week Wednesday evening,
exhibition. The hall was well filled with
people and the party returned well pleas
ed with their trip and speak in high
praise of the courtesy shown them.
Since the exhibition recently held in
the Barnum G gymnasium, quite number,
who had no idea of what first class
gym was, have become members and
more contemplate joining. 1t seems
strange that such beneficial and health
full institution could exist in the midst of
nearly $4,000 people and SO many not
know, until the exhibition took place,
what they have been losing, or the pleas
urc and benefit they could derive, from
small investment per year, with appar-
atus to develop and strengthen each and
every part of the body. There is little
reason why every member should not, by
regular exercise, increase and tone up
his o. her weak parts. Not only has
Prof Killingbeck's class Of men been en-
larged, but also the young boys, who
never get left. The ladies' class has adj
ditional members, who never thought of
such thing until they saw the exhibits
ion and learned that there was ladies'
class. The Gym is gaining in popularity
and Manager Bowser's highest aim is to
keep it up to the standard which it now
maintains and furnish a place where
young men may spend their evenings,
instead OF on the street or IN the saloons,
