tobacco sroke and the cheer of good
fellowship enjoyed an evening of de-
lightful entertainment. The occasion
was another of the popular smokers
given by the club. which has for its
ratron saint the noble red man OF that
name. and it was in all respects the
equal of any of the other events of SINH
lar character the management has pro-
vided. Club members and their guests
sat in the cool and comfortable apart
ments OF the club. listened to song, story
and speech. INDUCED in inspiration from
the flowing bowl. smoked and chatted
and so swiftly fed the hours that it
was many hours past midnight when
this company of convivial spirits de-
clared the celebration over.
When the ball of nerriment was set
in motion the tribesmen found that Man
ager Wells had provided for them

ment. Col. Ed. Hay was introduced as
the master of ceremonies, and this IN

incident would not lag. The first in the
long list of entertainers was native
