NEW STEPS AT THE PALMA.
"Patsy'' BranaSan and Others Give
an Enjoyable Stag.

- a.l-H-
The second Palma Club stag of the
season was given in the pretty club
house Saturday night. Every inch of sit
ting room in the new theatre was taken
and by actual count there were more
than four hundred gentlemen present.
Chairman Rich of the Entertainment
Committee was a little disappointed in
some of the talent, but he felt better
when the members told him the show
was all right"
Fred c.. Wolbert was announcer as
usual, and when he appeared on the stage
to introduce the first team his eyes
sparkled almost as brightly as the seven
carat diamond stud that hid an immacu
late shirt front.
PATSY B~ranagan," a dancer who per-
formed In the Irish Village at the Chicago
Fair, scored a big hit. He showed the
club boys a number of new and original
steps. The Florence Sisters took the
house by storm: The boys wanted them

stored good nature, however. She had a

view in the little balcony. He had an
excellent tenor voice Their act was
made the hit Of the evening. She san
all the popular airs and was assisted in
the choruses by heg audience. The en-
tertainment concluded with clever per-
clans: Another stag is to be given next
month.

A CREDIT TO The CITY
The Reconstructed Soldiers
Monument at the New York
Bay Cemetery.

The members of the various Grand Ar
my posts in this city will be pleased 70
learn that the monument which for many
years has marked the soldiers plot In the
New York Bay Cemetery has been recon
struggled and is now in position, having
been placed there last week byMr. w. A.
Gahagan. The plot where the monument
is located is not the one maintained by
the Grand Army posts, but was purchased
by the city so that honorably discharged
Union soldiers not members of the Grand
Army might be insured decent burial.
Shortly after the plot was purchased a
monument was directed. 1t consists OF a
rough granite base with a shaft of the
same material. The inscription, Jersey
City to her Patriot Dead" was
the only one on the monument. TIL mon
ument was plain in the s~everest degree
and was anything but a credit to the city.
Whenever the members of the Grand
Army visited the plot they commented on
the niggardliness of the officials who con-
tracted for the ugly shaft. Over five
years ago an agitation for a monument
which would be a credit to the city was
begun, and year after year the Grand
Army posts petitioned the Board OF FL
nance for an appropriation for this pur-
pose. Van Houten Post appointed Messrs.
Charles P. Knoeller, w. H. Armstrong
and ". Kennedy d committee to look
after the matter. TheNcommittee kept up
the agitation with the result that q rev
months g the Board of Finance appro-
priated 1915 for the work. and the contract
was awarded to Mr.. Gahagan. Not wish
ing to do away with the old monument,
the committee decided that 1t should form
a part of the new one, and instructions to
this effect were given to Mr.. Gahagan.
with the result that a handsome granite
pile comparing favorably with any,in the
cemetery now marks the soldiers plot.
In the monument the shaft of the one
has been preserved, the base being cut
into a cap, which supports a polished
Quincy granite ball twelve inches in diam
eter. A new polished granite base, with
the date 1876 has been added. The IN
scription on the old monument has been
removed, and the new one, THE Corpor-
alton of Jersey City to Her Departed He
roes'' substituted. The monument has
been increased in height from eight feet
to sixteen feet four inches.
Commander Sands, of Van Houten Post,
says that in all probability the post will,
at its next meeting, arrange for exercises
in celebration of the completion OF the
monument.
