What proved one of the most de-
lightful entertainments ever given by

euchre party which was held in the
spacious auditorium, last evening. All
most the entire membership of The
club accepted the invitation extended
to them to spend Thanksgiving eve
ming at the club, so that 1t required
the very best efforts of the committee
of ladies in charge to provide places
for all present. When all had been
seated around the fifty tables the Aud
itorium contained a merry assemDlage.
The contests were very spirited, all
Contestants striving to outplay their
opponent. After eleven progressiyes
were completed and the score cards tai
lied the following persons were award
ed the prizes offered: Mrs. ]. l[irch-
gessner, the ladies' first prize and Miss
dIIEll I0t COuSOidbiOH prize. .uF. u.
B. McCune captured the gentlemen's
first prize, and the consolation prize
was awarded to Mr. Cannon. AT the
conclusion of the euchre, Miss Mary.
Spooner entertained with selections
on the piano. During an interval, an
exhibition cake walk was given by
very prominent members of the club.
The walkers did their parts so well
that the judges were unable to decide
the winner. The result of this can
better be imagined than described.
