horse, boxing gloves, fencing foils, Indian
clubs, dumb bells, also an upright piano,
pianola and Victor Talking Machine.
In answer to many inquiries we give
the following plan of work. For one de-
string to join the gymnasium the only
condition will be that one Join the club,
by making application to The officers OF
said club and signing its bylaws to
which their age or size would naturally
lead them There are to be three of
these clubs: The first for men which will
meet on Monday and Wednesday nights
from Z to 10 O'Clock, the second for
youths, meeting Tuesday and Thursday
nights from to 9 O'Clock, the third for
boys, meeting Tuesday and Friday after
moons from Ais to $40. There will
also be club tor girls on Monday and
Thursday afternoons from f. Is to 5.45.
These clubs are to be selfgoverning,
SUBJECT to few elementary rules govern
ing any reputable public place. and those
joining will be asked to sign an agree
ment to keep each rule and to pay such
nominal dues as the officers of the clubs
shall see fit to impose.
In addition to the regular club
nights, Saturday evening has been de-
cIded upon as an assembly night for all
the clubs at which time exhibitions of
the best gymnastic work of each club
will be given. Friday nights Rev. Mr..
Drake is to open the gymnasium for a
social evening for any men of the town
who care to attend. The piano, pianola,
and talking machine with cards and
some score of sporting magazines will
furnish the entertainment This will be
the only evening of the week when
smoking will be allowed Sunday after
moons the hall will be open from two
until six for reading, smoking and music.
On Sundays no gymnastic work will be
allowed. 1t is hoped that this last plan
may furnish quiet social gathering
place for any who desire it, and especial
~ tor strangers or travelling men who
lind themselves in a strange town over
Sunday The building will be open for
inspection on Thursday, May 16, from
until e in the afternoon and from 7
until 10 in the evening. All who care to
see what has been accomplished will be
cordially welcome. The first of the
social evenings for the men of the town
will be held on Friday the 18th and all
who care to attend are heartily invited
on this and every Friday evening here
after The gynmastic apparatus will
not be in use on Friday nights.
We desire to express most emphatically
that the gymnasium is open to all re-
gardless of any church affiliations. The
regular schedule of clubs mentioned
above will go into effect on Monday the
goth of May, and all those desiring to
join will be welcome at the gymnasium
at the first session of their club. No one
is expected to come for gymnastic work
unless provided with rubber soled shoes
that are to be worn only in the gymna-
SUM. This is to protect and preserve
the very handsome vanished floor; nor
will anyone be allowed in the gymnasium
during club hours without permission
from Rev. Mr.. Drake unless a member of
the club, then entitled to the use of the
hall.
We hope that this new enterprise will
meet with the hearty cooperation and
support of all in the township of Lyndon
which it most certainly deserves.
