EXCELLENT VAUDEVILLE.

One of the largest and best stays held
in the city in a long time was that OF
Paulus Hook Council, No Ats, X. of c.,
at Elks' Hall last night. Every artist
on the programme gave clean and clear
cut performance. They were numerous
and the waits between the numbers were
merely long enough to enable the big au-
dience to catch its breath after vocifer-
ously applauding the artists. The big
hall was filled. Cigars We're distributed
and sandwiches daintily served. Mild
liquid refreshments We're served in the
adjoining hall during an intermission.
While each artist made a hit, proba-
bly, the most successful one was that of
Mr.. Joseph G. Farrell, author of 'On a
Good Old Trolley" and aAieet Me in st.

Pie" and Lets All Go Up to Maud 5, =

But please leave Maud for me.
Her ma don't mind the noise.
Her dads one of the boys;
If you're bit handy, you'll be all the
candy
