view of Years Work.

Every member of the Young Mems
Christian Association is doing his level
best to make that institution as at
tractiye resort for young men as pos
sible. Not only do the members wish.
very naturally, to make the Associa-
ton complete in all the necessaries for
developing spiritual and physical man
hood for their own benefit; but it Is
thought that more men will be attract
ed as more improvements are made.
Among other things, a natatorium is
now desired. The Physical Committee
Of the Y. M. G. A. met yesterday after
noon and talked this matter over 1t
was the general feeling that a plunge
bath was a necessity and it was the
unanimous voice Of the Committee that
The Association should and would have
the swimming tank and that steps
should be taken at once to assist the
PROJECT in financial way.
Entertainments are to be given in
the gymnasium ard in the hall to raise
funds for the purpose. The hearty co
operation of all interested in the prog
ress of the Association is invited.
This question was thoroughly discuss
ed by the Board of Directors at their.
recent meeting and the Physical Com
mittee is hustling to boom the goJG
cause along.
The natatorium will be located be-
meath the Office in the Association
building and there Is to be a set Of
shower baths, ard lockers too. The
plunge will be seven feet at the deem.
est end and four feet at the shallowest.
1t will be thirty feet by twentv-fcu.
feet. Travelling rings and spring
boards will be worked electrically and
the outside cost will be about $1,000.
Tonight the second in the ind1o,
athletic contest series takes place.

thusiastic audience was presen-. The
