will not appear in any of the amateur en-
tertainments this year.
The game OF checkers to be played Tues
day night with living men, at the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms. is to
be a most interesting and novel event.
The two gentlemen who are to play the
game are Mr.. b. F. F1nney and Mr.. A. F.
K. Muslin, who are considered among the
best players in the city. They have never
played against each other, and this will,
of course, add interest to the game. Two
young ladies will act as sponsors for the
two sides. The board will be laid off on
the gymnasium floor and the spectators
will be in the gallery. No invitations have
been printed, but all friends of the asso-
citation are invited to be present.
The entertainment and lecture commit
tee of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton is already preparing for its star course
for next season At a meeting of the COM
mittee, which is composed of Messrs. c.
H. Dorset, Spencer NJ. White, c. G. Bell
and James Earle, Jr., held a night or two
ago, some fine attractions were decided
on, and the committee is now in corre-
spondence with the bureaus. 1t is the pur-
pose of the committee to get the very best
attractions that will come south, feeling
that the people of Savannah will appre-
ciate their efforts.
