The fourth annual reception given
under the auspices Of the CONNER ciGl

quarters, last night WAS an unqualified
success. The event was purely social
one limited to the members and their
friends.
In past years it had taken the form
Of concert and banquet, Int never he
fore had 1t occasioned so much praise
as last night, when taking the form
Of concert and dance. The idea gave
much praise to it's managers, AMI l.. X.
McGinnis, it's secretary.
The dining-room, which was pro
tenn turned into q dancing room,
was picturesque in the extreme Palms
Of divers sizes and descriptions decorat-
ing both pillar and window, lending 70
the room g. tint Of nature pleasing to
the eye. The. general reception roopl-
which for the event was turned into
g concert hall-bereft of it's heavier
furniture, had quite an Oriental ap-
pearance.
The present venture being met with
such unqualified success, the manage
y
in future years the reception will un-
doubtedly take the same form.

o'clock, including most of the members

appreciated by the guests. Jay Watson,

responded a second time. James w.
Evans recitation was interesting and
funny, and ELECTED rounds of applause.
Among others who appealed to the
critics" were: Miss Louisa III. Chryst
In her piano solo, and the Minneopa
quartette. The item Of speciaIties CIV

preciated. The fact that Mr.. Tenny
was suddenly called to New York caus-
ed many regrets from those who had
looked forward to an excellent render
ing from him and his partner, Mr..
