HIGH JIkkS A BIG SUCCESS
Notables as GueStS-Campfire Fare
Provided-M the Program
of the Evening.

They yelled for Moore for five min
utes or ten minutes at the Drill Shed
last night. 1t was Al Moore, the sing
ing comedian, ball player and foot ra
Ger, they wanted. Moore gave songs
that pleased them. He was the star Of
the evening. AS candidate for any
thing he would have been elected
unanimously. He could have had the
captaincy of the ward and a chair in
the city council without trial heat 1t
was lucky for Hobson's reputation and
perhaps for Moore, that the high jinks
was a stag affair. Moore had to tune
up his gentle voice three times, on the
last entry in defiance of the chairman's
attempt to put on another number.
The high jinks of the First Regi-
ment, n. G.. H, was a flushing success.
1t wasn't a carmine affair with white
wash brushes dripping with the paint.
1t was just a joyous reunion of the
boys and they turned loose and had
good time from 7:30 till Il. The noise

Lieut. Col. Jones was the manager.
The notable guests included President
Dole, AttOrney-General Smith, Officers
from Camp Mckinley and military Of

and Capt. Ashley and Sergt. Chapman
had provided a satisfying feed of the
camp fire order, with plenty to smoke
and some beer. part of it donated by
Maj. Mccarthy.
At s o'clock everyone was seated.
Then the program was started. There
were only eleven numbers, but with
encores they stretched out like count
ing on the Australian ballot in an
Italian precinct. Through it all the ap-
plause was like a war cry of an army
of bowling dervishes on the way TO
prayer meeting the day before the re-
duction of the Nile census by Kit
chener.
Capt Berger's band gave an overture
and some songs. Then Mr.. Eames. the
master of the mandolin. gave a real

that was so we'll liked that he was
called back again. Mr.. Peachy gets

for three innings and not out taking
first money and the blue ribbon. Davis,
German, Arnold, Willie Mott, Bowers
and others seconded Moore from the
