Hugh Craig. president of the San Fran
CISCO Chamber of Commerce, delivered
short address and then the Rev. James
Small of the First Christian Church re-
viewed the show briefly as a great object

to animals.
Mr.. Small had much to contend with,
for as he pleaded on behalf of the feathered
tribes those whom he would benefit were
so heartily in accord with his sentiments
! that they could not refrain from noisily
voicing their approval. The audience,
! however, were rather amused than an

Several well-known members of the
| Acme Club. including Messrs Stegman,
Toohig, McNa!ly, Mcdonald and Will
liams, gave an interesting exhibition and

the programme.
