The German masquerade last Friday
evening, as usual, drew a crowd of peo-
pie, about 200 being present. OF those
present about one-third were masked dur
ing the opening numbers. Some pretty
costumes were In evidence, and there
we're others not so pretty. Geo. Turner,
representing buxom blonde, was one of
the best Of the characters impersonated.
His makeup was perfect, and he took
his part with grace and eclat One of
the features was lady with an educated
bear. The bear was fierce animal and
performed his tricks under compalsion,
rendering fierce growls when struck with
the whip carried by his mistrese. Some
of the more timid ladies present were
made quite nervous by this exhibition.
Another animal scene put on at the same
time included hand organ, lady and a
monkey. The monkey performed in a
very natural manner, and did better work
than the hand organ. The Neapolitan
bowling act afforded much amusement
for the spectators. The pins were at
tired In shrouds, which seemed unneces-
sary at first, but appeared quite fitting
when the dangerous nature of their duties
became apparent. The pins were sup
posed to fall when the ladies rolled the
balls among them. Bowling became pop
ular at once, and the pins performed
their part Of the program with courage
and hearty disregard for personal COM
fort. The exc, else was too violent to be
long continued, and the covering was re-
moved from the pins after few strings
had been bowled. Some surprise was
manifested when 1t became evident that
a proportion OF the nine pins were of the
fair sex. After unmasking prizes were
awarded to Miss Parkhurst for having
the prettiest, and to r. Ledoue for the
most comical. The man who was o mon-
key was not allowed In the competition,
or he would have won easily. The grand
march was led by MIR. end Mrs. Glenn
Schmidt. A recess was allowed for lunch,
which was served In the upper story, and
included a clam chowder and variety OF
other delicacies. AS usual the club is a
financial winner, and deserves to be, as
the program was unique and interesting
throughout.
