The noted violinst, Remenyi, is at the
opera house tonight, supported by fine
company, Miss Pauline Stein, Mile. Louise
Roman and Eugene E. Davis. This is Re-
menyis third appearance before Bellows
Falls audience, and music-lovers will be
glad to hear him again. However, it does
seem too bad for us to have so many good
things in one evening, ''the world re-
nowned violinist" and the Y. NJ. G. A.
convention. We cannot be in two places
at once.
Important improvements are being ma de
in the Masonic rooms in Union block.
Folding doors are being placed between the
two ante rooms, both of which are having
new carpets made and are being thoroughly
repainted and decorated. The main hall
was thoroughly renovated short time ago
and is in excellent condition. The old car
pets which have been on the ante rooms
are to have the good parts of them taken
and used in recarpeting the platforms of
the three stations in the hall. When COM
pleted the rooms will be in fine condition
throughout and all ready for the meetings
of the winter.
The Y. M. G. A. meeting at the associa-
ton rooms Sunday afternoon was the
largest yet held, and showed considerable
o interest in the work. About 80 of the
workers of the organization were present,
and in addition about 20 of the young men
for whom the rooms are most intended, all
of whom expressed themselves as well
pleased with their first visit to the rooms
aud promised to come again. The trouble
thus far has been to get those who are not
identified with the churches to come in,
but this seems gradually to be overcome by
Secretary Freer, who is proving to be popu-
IL IL u
with. G. W. Osgood spoke upon the duties
of the young men in the work, and Mr..
Freer welcomed those who came in for the
first time, explaining the work of the asso-
citation to them. Good music was furnished,
new piano having been placed in the
rooms during the past week, and large
number stayed an hour after the meeting,
singing songs and listening to music fur
nished by Mr. Ames on the piano, and a
German viOlinst.
