furniture factories. were handsomely en-
tertsined at tho Y. NJ. &. A. building
last night Personal invitations had
been sent 10 each guest and a special
reception committee received and looked
after all who came. After the company
had received checks for all the hats and
coats. the boys took siroll over the
building in groups. each piloted by one
of the members. The gymnasium was
the tirst place u attraction and the boys
crowded the gallery and witnessed the
exercise drill Of large class led by
Physical Directns Garland.
After that the crowd returned down
stairs and 10 the refreshment room,
where large quantity Of lemonade and
cakes were provided. All the young
men who were unsteady disposed gath
cred in the parlor and helped in tho
singing OF gospel songs, Accomplishments
being furnished by the piano and three
comets.
Later in the evening there was lively
match game u basket ball in the gym
nasium, which was witnessed by nearly
everybody in the building. The factory
boys cheered the contestants and
laughed good naturedly at their many
funny antics. Very few left the building
before 100 clock, the regular closing time,
and their appreciation OF the evenings
