The business mems class at the Y NJ

this season at o'clock yesterday after
noon. The event was fttingly observed
by the attendance of a good number OF
friends Of the members and by the serv-
ing OF light refreshments by the ladies'
auxiliary OF the association.
The class was specially arranged by
Prof. HebbeTt, physical director at the
gymnasium some Ave years ago for the
convenience OF business and professional
men TO whom the>late afternoon hour was
most satisfactory. Each successive season

arms and shoulders are limbered up in
mighty thorough fashion.
! A fancy march follows the work with
the weights and the many turns and
twists entaied prove disastrous for some
OF the less experienced members. The

Yesterday afternoon the class numbered
some 81 persons and previous to the
march an organization of-the class was
suggested and a committee, headed by
Mr.. A. J. Bennett, an old-timer of the
class, appointed TO report on the plan.
At the conclusion OF the drills ice cream
and cake was served by the Ladies'

ending for the initial meeting Of the
