A MONSTER EUCHRE.
st. Aloysius's Lyceum Of st.
Boniface's Church Held
a Successful Party.

The euchre given under the auspices Of
the members of st. Aloysius's Lyceum of
ST. Boniface's Church, took place last
evening at st. Boniface's Hail. First
street, near Jersey avenue. This season
there have been numerous euchre parties
held throughout the city and some OF
them have been record breakers but it
must truthfully be said that the one given
last evening surpassed all it's predeces-
sors.
The spacious hall could not accom-
modate the crowd, and tables had to be-
placed in the basement of the church adj
joining the hall and even this place was
taxed to it's capacity. There were fully
five hundred players and the excellent
manner in which the committee looked
after the players reflects great credit on
it. The euchre was given for the benefit
of the church and as the majority of the
prizes were donated by friends good
sum of money was realized by it. This
will be used for the purpose of paying
off the debt of the new decorations that
have been just finished on the interior of
the church.
There were one hundred and fifteen
prizes awarded and it was nearly one
o'clock in the morning before the last
was given out. Among the prize winners
