Completed.

The people Of st. Paul are soon to
have the satisfaction of attending the
opening reception Of the new St. Paul
Young Mems ChFtst1-n aSs3ciation. The
last strokes of the painters brushes
are how bsing made at the exceedingly
fine quarters in the Dyer building on
Fifth street, and in another week the
announc- ment can be made OF the COM
rletion of the work. A delay of near
ly six weeks on account of the gym
Dasium apparatus has occurred but this
Will all be forgot Ell and forgiven when
it IS placed into position in the brill
Eantly lighted and ventilated gym
rasiUm en- the fourth floor. The ap-
paratus is of the latest and best de-
sign, including plenty of mats and
dumb bells two handba1 courts, a
basket ball court, tiGst-class running
track, built on the most scientific prin-
ciples, and enc Of the most perfect
bathing plants in the Northwest.
DIR. L. J. Cooke. the new physical di-
rector, is enthusiastic over the pros
pect Of presiding ever the first complete
Sy n1nasi UNI ever opened to the men of
st. Paul. Mr.. ]. FL. Hanks. the as
sistant physical director is giving It's
el.tire time to the placing of the APP
paraltuS and the arrangement of lock-
ers. One Of the finest features of the
PHYSICAL department. will be the large
locker room, containing 500 butternut-
wo~d lockers. ms cad Of ordering thes :
from the East they were constructed
here and are models OF convenience
and arranged so as to be perfectly
ventilated. $40 a year admits man to
all the privileges of the gymnasium.
Every effort Is being made to have
the social department so complete as
to compete with the most attractive
rosorts of the city, and the theory Of
the new management is that the as
ISOLATION should c1mpete with tie city s
temptations and not with its churches.
A junior department for boys be-
tweer ten and sixteen Years is row
being organized and will be distinct
from the mems department.
The educational department on the
fifth floor will be of great practical
value to young men who have been
obliged to leave school before securing
sufficient education, and who find
II THEMSELVES Handicapped in business by
educational limitations. Glasses in
bookkeeping, arithmetic, spelling,
grammar, mechanical drawing and
stt Iogra ply will be organized as soon
as good teachers can be secured. A
charge of So Per year is made for en-
trance into these classes.
