A theatre party and supper was given

the club at the Academy of Music, where
they witnessed first class show by the
Four Cohans in "The Governors Son."

and for three hours all we're entertained
with witty addresses songs and piano
solos.
At the dinner Mr.. N p Wedfn presided,
and seated at his left was the standard
bearer, Mr.. John ]. Lenahan, and to his
right ex-Assistant Prosecutor Joseph
Noonan. When the excellent menu had
been thoroughly discussed, Mr.. Wedin
spoke of the rapid growth of the organ
ization and upon the success that seemed
to follow the Lenahan Association in all
its social events. He said he hoped to
see it continue, to achieve success in all
it undertook, and he had no doubt it
would, as the association had a leader
who was well known Throughout the city.

and said he had had a very pleasant
evening as one of their guests. He com
