During the past three months the MEM
bers of the different councils of the Young
Mems Institute have been actively dis
cussing proposition to secure new head
quarters and appointed joint committee
for that purpose. 1t is the desire of the
society to secure more commodious and
elaborate rooms than those at present in

trail part of the City are now before the
committee, and within a short time Sc

In order to establish the nucleus of a
fund for furnishing the reading-room and
library at the new headquarters a grand
minstrel and vaudeville entertainment
will be given at the California Theater on
Friday and Saturday evenings. This en-
tertainment will be under the auspices of
Ignatian Council No. 35. 1t promises to
be one of the grandest presentations of its
kind ever brought before the footlights.

ing of George r. Maxwell, Thomas H.
Fallon, Edward B. Thomas, Frank Nc
Glynn, John II. Sheehan, T. B. McGinnis,
M. ]. Hynes, H. J. McGinnis, Charles E..
Hildebrecht, Philip J. Lawler and David
/. Mahoney, is entitled to great praise.
The members have arranged programme
which merits the patronage not only of
the society directly interested but of every
lover of genuine fun and refined amuse-
ment.
The first part of the performance will
consist of an old-time minstrel circle with
six endmen, full orchestral accompaniment
and vocal choruses. Added to the chorus
will be corps of twenty madrigal boys,
grotesquely costumed who will take part
in the opening overture. John T. Creamy
will act as interlocutor. The endmen
will be: William j. Hynes, who has often
been compared with the famous "Billyn
Emerson; Eugene Beauce, the experienced
and clever amateur comedian; Robert
Mitchell, who is probably the funniest
man outside the professional ranks; James
@. ODonnell, q great institute fayorite
John Cathcart, well known for his excel
lent minstrel work; and DR.. w. H.
Sieberst, who never fails to make hit.
This combination should make a great hit
and is in itself sufficient guarantee of a
good time to those who will witness the
performance.
The soloists (who will also sing in quar-
tet) are David Manlloyd, the well-known
tenor; George v. Wood, whose grand bass
voice is so much admired; Daniel NJ.
