One of the most interesting gen
eral meetings to be held by the Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club since the
annual election is that which is to
take place in the club Thursday eve
ming.
One of the first matters to come
up will be the appointment of com
mittee of three to consult with the
board of directors as to the plans
for the new athletic club building at
Main avenue and Lincoln street. 1t
is the desire of the club members
that the new building be started not
later than the 18th of next month
and If possible by the first of the
month. BY the present arrangement
the club gives up the gymnasium
part of the present building on June
!. and it is hoped to have the new
building well under way by that time.
The meeting will also consider the
issuance of $3.50 bonds for build
ing purposes.
The athletic committee of the club
will bring up the matter of a return
fight between Lewis and Fredericks.
Both of these men are eager for an
other go. The matter of pulling off
the mill In the Auditorium or I'm the
gymnasium of the club will also be
considered. If the club is agreed
upon as the place for the fight, plans
will be discussed for building new
seats for the gymnasium. These seats
will be arranged in the form of al
amphitheater and will increase the
capacity from 800 seats and 15t
standing room to $50 seats

Hoyt's famous farce comedy, "a Bunch
Of Keys was the attraction at the
Traders Grand opera house last even
ing. The opera house was filled just to
standing room. The play was heartily
enjoyed by the audience.
The fact, Is this comedy is one of the
funniest and most novel creations of its
kind that ever appeared on the American
stage. The hotel scene in the second
and third acts, far surpasses any like
setting we have ever seen, and in this
scene there abounds, more merriment,
wit, humor and downright enjoyment to
the square inch than of any other ..prop.

The play is up-to-date, polished, and it
possesses that fire, snap and ginger about
it, that keeps one in roar of laughter
from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
