GREAT STUNTS BY
YOUNG ATHLETES

Net only the friends Of the Young
Mems Christian association but vast
number Of those interested in athletic
performances i'm general were on hand
last evening TO witness the exhibition
which the classes under Prof Hehbert
gave at Infantry hail
The exhibition was not confined TO any
one class. but to all from the boys TO
the business men and some OF the stunts
done by each was I'm the nature OF the
marvellous. SO well did each class and
individual perform his duty that there
was not a hitch during all the long pro-
gram that was on.
The work OF the acrobats was es-
peclally deserving OF praise as being
better than simply high class. and the
senior class I'm tumbling did a number
of difficult feats with apparent ease.
The first exhibition was that OF the
boys. who did some club swinging. There
were about 100 OF these and they went
through the whole drill without faltering
once or deviating the least from the
rhythm OF the movements. The senior
class followed with a set Of drills with
tho iron dumbbells followed by a drill
in calisthenics by the boys again.
The wand drill by the seniors and the
business men was done with such skill
as 10 AWAKEN the applauSe OF lnc duul-
encc. though some OF the feats are con-
sidered by all instructors as very DIFF
ficult
Another dumbbel drill and wand
drill concluded that portion OF the pro-
gram and then the teams in special work
performed This proved 10 be more in
terosting than was the first part and
about dozen Of the older men OF the
classes went through number Of per-
formances that would have done credit
TO n vaudeville stage.
