Club sutro Heights High links.

Quite number of smokers have been given OF
late, but has been superior TO the Smoker and
Tamale social given last Thursday night in Social
Hall, Alcazar building, by Club Sutro Heights,
composed of members of the court of that name
Of the Foresters of America, the baby court 1t
was an invitation high inks and nearly four hun
dred presented cards at the door, and right glad
were they that they came for they spent most
enjoyable evening. The talent for the even
ing was recruited from the members of the court
with two or three exceptions and the singing
recitations and sketches were equal to MANY III at
are presented at the vaudeville theaters. Par
ticularly good ere the numbers presented bv 7 p
Foster. who, dressed as female bloomer cyclist
rode into the hall on high-prlced bike, sang songs
and told funny stories; a friendly setto in three
rounds between Hayes and Gilbert, members of
the Olympic Club: 1.-THE Gas-House Terrfer'' a
sketch by Howard and Healy, in costumes: the
bone solo by i. s. Crackbon, and the singing by
Harry Cady.
When time was called for the set-to Grand secre-
tary Chris IL Bremen, UNEXPECTEDLY called upon to
act as timekeeper, endeavored to excuse himself
on the ground that he had never witnessed a boy
ing match, but the manner in which he discharged
his duties led many OF the spectators reach the
conclusion that the g. S. knows more about five
ounce gloves than he is willing to admit.
During the evening pipes and tobacco were
passed around. and then came refreshments and
sandwiches, after which the master of ceremonies
George ]. Strong, called upon the COMMITTEES to dis
tribute the tamales. Every in the hall pre-
pared himself to receive the luscious Mexican
mystery: but great was the disappointment when
the distribution was made for they were only inn
itaions, an inch long, and used for lapel orna-
ments, but what the spectators lost in this was
excellent programme.
