 The report from the Y. M. C. A. for the month of May Is most gratifying to all who have the interest of that worthy association at heart. It shows that there were 204f visits to the club rooms; there were S27 baths taken there; 126 using the gymnasium; gymnasium classes held and new members joined. This shows what a good work is going on, Tusea- loosa has felt the need of good Y. M. c. A. here for years, and now that one has been started that is run with the proper spirit and enthusiasm, 1t should be no long time before such an association can secure a subscription fund that will warrant the building Of suitable quarters for the club.
