the afternoon Of Thursday and Friday

The events will be strictly Of a mill
tary nature, and the prizes, which are
TO be kept as a surprize until they are
awarded, are extremely beautiful and
mover. 1t seems surprising that so
many novelties along military lines
could have been picked up. But many
OF the dainty gifts have been brought
from Washington, some come from
Chicago, and st. Paul and Minneapolis
furnish many others. For there are
an unlimited number of prizes 1t seems.

souvenir just the same, and no one
will go home empty handed.
