Y. M. C. A. Entertainment.

M. c. A. last Thursday night was all that could be wished for. Not only was this so in point of merit, but also an regards the attendance, as the hall was full, almost to overflOwing.
 Judge Tustin opened the programme with a few remarks in behalf of the Association. thanking the audience for such liberal patronage, and thanking, also, those who were about to assist by taking part.
 The BatchelOrs' Club Orchestra followed with an excellent mcdley-over- ture, rendered in d masterly manner.
 Dr. Thwing then led in brief prayer.
 Miss Nellie Green sang "Dreaming Tonight" assisted in the chorus by Mrs. Calvert and Messrs. Lee Wake field and Hugh Sherwood.
 A quartet, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis and Mir. and Mrs. Wiggs, sang "Some Day I'll Wander Back Again"
 Next was vocal solo by l.. H. Wakefield.
 "EzekiaFs Courtship" was given by Mir. Hunt in characteristic manner. He was assisted by his daughter, Miss Bertha, and they brought down the house."
 "The Last Rose of Summer, by Mrs. Calvert, Miss Green and Mr. Sher- wood, closed the first part of the pro- gramme, and the curtain was drawn from before the stage, revealing a camp on the Teslin trail. It Was q typical camp scene, and the tents camp-stove, camp-stools and rough dress of the assembled miners all served to give the impression that the 'real thing" was at hand, in spite of the the fact that great deal of the natural roughness was wonderfully softened by the presence of four ladies in the camp.
 Space will not allow of 6 detailed ac- count of the entertainment, but few words as to the various characters will uOU uC OuO Ol PihSC.
 Dr. Beach, as The Captain," car ried his part right up to the mark.
 Albert Stacey, as the boy who was fishing for his discharge, acquitted himself we'll, doing full justice to the character.
 Mir. Kirburger. as Moses, the cook,' certainly demonstrated, beyond a doubt, his ability to flip tlap-jacks,' to the intense amusement of every one
 Mir. Turner, as the boy who didn't know who he was,' was decidedly a "howling success" and was received with rounds of applause.
 Messrs. Poor and Kirburger gave a selection from Shakespeare, and in such a manner as to show long familiarity with that excellent work.
 The other characters were we'll sustained, each one responding prompt ly to the cue, thus making the entire movement smooth and steady.
 The jokes and stories throughout the evening were good, and several we'll timed and appropriate toasts lent the appearance of realism. The songs that were generously interspersed were very good, especially those given by Mrs. Calvert and Miss Smith. Mrs. Calvert's solo, "A Drunkard Tonight" was full of pathos add rendered in a way that caused it to touch the heart of every one in the hall.
 The recitation by Miss Hunt, Two Little Shoes," was given in the earnest, touching style which is characteristic with all of her recitations.
 The entertainment closed with the singing of "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," by MT. Hugh Sherwood, the entire caste joining in the choruses.
