ST. BONIFACE's EUCHRE
Most Successful Event Ever
Given By That Church
Held Last Night.

The regular parish euehre of ST. Boni-
facets Church took place last evening IN
THE basement of the church, on First
street. The previous euchres have been
financial successes, but last evenings
event eclipsed all others held by that
church. In previous years the euchres
have been held in the school hall, but
| the crowd that attended them were SO
large it was found very inconvenient, at
ter the games were concluded, to clear
the hail, and at the same time award the
large number of prizes, the crowd being
SO great that it interfered very much
| with the young men who were on the
Committee of Arrangements. This year
the young men and ladies decided to hold
the games in the basement Of the church,
while those who did not care to partici-
pate in the euchre enjoyed themselves
dancing in the hall. The previous euchres
held by this parish have always drawn
such a large number of people that 1t was
necessary to have at least fifty tables, but
| at last nights event fully seventy tables
were occupied.
The committee in charge is certainly
deserving of credit for the excellent way
in which it handled the large number OF
| players. Everything went along as If
| managed by veterans.
The Rev. Father Wahl, pastor of st.
Boniface's Church, was about the hall.
He welcomed all who came to take part in
the games and he seemed overjoyed with
the success of the event.
