the affair and came to our notice

Dassel Anchor. They all speak
in high terms of the entertain

Head Consul and consisted Of
speeches and music both vocal
and instrumental. The Howard
Lake Glee Club composed of Geo.
Means, G. H. Rucker, A. J. Ellis
and W. W. Woolley rendered some
excellent selections and We're en-
cored again and again. A piano
solo by Miss Camilla Kornerup
was most Hastily rendered. Prof
Rognlie gave Traumerei upon the
violin in his usual fine style.
Miss Susan Wilcox was recalled
after singing 1.-The Sweetest
Story" In our Judgment the
gem of the evening was the sing
