 The Elks last evening celebrated their final night in their old quarters prepar- atory to occdByffig their magnificent new building on Grown street. A fine musical prograt1fne was presented by several of the talented members of the order. of which there are many. An orchestra of five rendered several se- lections, which were greatly enjoyed by all. Besides catering to the sense of hearing, they also satisfied the sense of taste, and, according to the usual Elk custom. the flowing bowl' was at no time during the evening allowed to cease flowing.
 The committee in charge of the af- fair deserves great praise for the man. ner in which it conducted it. The com mittee was as follows: John H. Court ney, chairman; Samuel Hoyt, Thomas J. O'Brien and John J. O'Donnell.

In the early part Of the nineteenth
century two giants excited wonder on
the Continent of Europe. Louis Franz,
Frenchman. who stood seven feet six
inches in his stockings. was one of
these. and Joachim Eleioegui, "the
Spanish goliath who measured seven
feet ten, was the other. The Spaniard
visited London in 1915. but while he
was being exhibited in the Cosmor-
anna rooms a strapping fellow from Nor
folk, one Robert Hales by name, chal-
lenged him to a comparison of heights,
and TO the Spaniard's undoing the Nor
folk farmer was found to exceed him
in stature by two inches, measuring
eight feet exactly. Some years later,
however, the Continent regs,ined the
iaurels to which IL had laid claim with
a fine contempt for historical records
in the person of Joseph DrasaI, a Ger
man giant, who stood eight feet four
inches In his stockings.
