College hail. and there were over seven
hundred tickets taken in at the door.
This entertainment was In charge of a
committee composed of eighty ladies,
who have labored for the past month or
more to make the affair a success, and
they were we'll rewarded. The prizes in
the euchre were all donated by a number
of charitable people throughout the city,
and the lucky winners last evening had to
do some very clever playing to come out
ahead. The affair was given for the
benefit of the new hall and school that
is being erected on York street, and when
finished will cost $50, 900. The evenings
entertainment netted the largest sum the

crowd were excellent, and the young men
who took care of the euchre players dis
charged their duties in an excellent man
ner. They received much praise from the
aides for their admirable work. There
