A SUCCESS Elks' Social Session a Great
 .8lIul0HAfaiFa1Tie ,k

HIF a hfHiHfh .
 Last night the Elks gamboled on green pastures, and one of the best so- cial sessions ever given in the city was the result. The hall was crowded and mirth and merriment reigned ioyously among the EllSs and their guests.
 The evenings entertainment opened at S:3O with an overture by Dr. Kellar's orchestra. Following this was the so- ciety sketch entitled "Butterhies3' This was the first sketch of it's kind ever given in Skagway and it proved a winner. Mrs. A. J. Mckinney, as Mrs. Fair, society leader, was a most fas- cinating lady in very fascinating character. She acted the part to per lection. She was ably assisted by Eddie Tholin, who appeared as a soci- ety man, and Elmer A. Friend, who took leading character, that of the loving husband. Both gentlemen proved excellent support to Mrs. Me Kinney, and the sketch will be remem- bered as a pretty well-meaning society drama.
 Mrs. H. D. Kirmse appeared as a so- loist of merit. Her "Dream On Sad Heart" and "Little Boy Blue" were given as only on artist could give them. Percy B. Hunting gave Marc Antony's oration over the body of Julius Ceasar, appearing in costume. It was a classic rendition of classic study admirably given,
 Mrs. c. B. Olsen gave one of her charming solos, "Today," after which the assemblage joined in a social ses- sion F. T. Keelar was chairman and kept things going fast and furious. lThere was a speech by Judge Erwin, i and several visiting Elks. There was the lodge quartette, which proved a great feature. There was a tooth-pull- ing contest, in which George Mowl proved character. Frank Webster gave one of his bottle solos, which was great.
 There were innumerable prize con tests which proved excitingly amusing. After the special features were dis posed of the floor was cleared for danc- ing, and one of the most sociable dances of the season was held. Refreshments of varied nature was served in the adjoining room to the lodge and it was after midnight before the gay throng broke up after one of the most enjoy able sessions of iraternal organizations ever given in Skagway.
 The committee responsible for the affair consisted of Messrs. George S. Town Geo. Mowl, R. J. Marsh, John w. Shook and W. w. Boughton.
