eral head table. the signal to progress
sounded by it's players being obeyed by the
players of each section. Prizes were pro-
vided for the individual sections.
The attendance large, and utmost
good humo- and deepest interest in the
games prevailed. Many were present who
did not play, but they apparently had quite
as good a time Hooking on" as did the par

The Socfety's Object,
The Young Peoples Temple Society was
organized just one month ago, and already
mas more than five hundred names on its
ron or membership. 1t consists of young
Ioiks who are enlisted in the effort to add
10 the fund required for the completion of
the Hebrew Temple on sth street, the cor
ner stGSe OF which was laid a short time
ago More money than was at first con-
srIered necessary, it has been found is re-
qlired tc complete the ed;fice, and the
younger element concluded to Join forces
and lend helping hand The result is the
Young Peoples Temple Society.
The organization has a two-fold object
one is to assist in the completion of the
temple and the other is the amusement of
the members In order that interest and
enthusiasm may not flag. a most ingenious
system has been followed in banding to-
Sether the workers. Meetings of the So
clCty as whole are to be held once every
three months, when. after the conclusion
OF routine business, the evening will be de-
voted to pleasure and social enjoyment
The executive committee will meet once a
month to supervise the proceedings of the
several subcommittee. These committees
will come together twice month or often
er. if need be. The amount paid In as dues
will be devoted to covering the expenses of
the society, while the proceeds of enter
ta;nments are to be turned over to the
building committee in charge of the erec-
ton of the temple.
The series of entertainments, of which
the progressive euchre party held last
evening was a part, will he under the d.
rection of the several committees. These
are dramatic, musical home entertainment,
card parties, darcing. lectures, member
ship. finance. publication and printing.
Each committee originates and arrangeS
the details of its entertainment, the exec
order to guard against conflict of dates
and other undesirable features.
