THE eLEE CLUB To-NIaHr.
An Elegant Entertainment Promised by
the W asbington and Lee BOYS.


the " asbinRton and Lee Boys.
The Washington and Lee University
Glee Club. which will give a concert and
entertainment at the theater tonight.
has been attracting much attention from
the press wherever it has appeared. and
its entertainment tonight promises to
be something far above the ordinary.
The Virginia papers say the club has
been greatly REINFORCED since the COM
mencement of the present college term
and that IL is now superior TO any of
previous years. Mr.. Lennert, the director
OF the club, has had charge OF il for
four years and he is considered a musical
genius. Before entering college and TAX
ing up this work he was for four or FIVE
years the leader Of a large orchestra,
and so has had considerable experience
in this direction.
Altogether this is considered one Of
the finest college glee clubs on the road.
and everywhere they are greeted by en-
thusiastic audiences. The club has many
merry rollicking songs on its programme,
as we'll as much bright and artistic music
The proceeds Of these entertainments are
to be devoted to the Lee-Jaokson Camp
OF Confederate Veterans at Lexington,
Va. the burying place of Jackson and
Lee.
AmOrita. with which Jules Grau will
inaugurate weeks engagement at the
theater, on Monday night, has never been
given in Savannah before. It is as full
of fun as an egg is fun of meat, and made
tremendous hit in Richmond. The great
minstrel scene in the second act is one of
the best things ever attempted by Mr.
Grau. while the amazonian and military
marches surpass all his previous exhibit
lions in this line. Every one of the old
favorites is retained. and the company
has been strengthened by the addition Of
two first class comic opera singers, Syl-
vain Langlais a baritone, and Miss Fanny
Myers, powerful mezzo-soprano Mr..
Langlais viii appear as Fra Bonibardo
and Miss Myers as Angelo on Monday
night A Richmond paper says: Stan
ley Felch was never so funny as in the role
of Castuicci every line created roars of
laughter and his salles of mirth, given
with that inimitable dry humor for which
he is well known, kept everybody in mer-
riment."
Charming Edith Mason, Bessie Fair
BARN, and Thos. Persse are still among
the old favorites. The sale of seats COM
mences this morning.

his turn enters the square alone and
mounted on the 'aafety." He endesy.
ors to throw down with his wheel the
eight red pins in their numerical order,
but he must not disturb the black pins
or touch the ropes in so doing, and for
every infraction of the rules he is fined
and forced to forego his turn. The score
may be kept by crediting each rider
with the number of pins he throws
down before coming to grief and allow
ipg the one who makes the entire cir.
cult successfully another turn.
The pins used are made OF rubber
and are about as large around as the
cross section of pneumatic tire. The
game is simple, but to be successful
player one must be an expert rider.
The quick turns in q limited space
cause many self-confident one to come
to grief and the result is oftentimes
amusing.
The matter of instituting series of
these games during the winter, with
perhaps tournament at the close, will
probably be brought before the club at
some meeting in the near future. ANY
hall of moderate size would serve as a
playground, and the expense at
