Athletic Club, was a most successful
affair from every standpoint The at
tendance was large, the hall being
scarcely adequate to accommodate ev-
elybody, and the receipts will provide
almost if.not all the money necessary
to equip the High School base ball
team, which was the main object of
the entertainment
After the program. which was con-
cluded about $3.50 o'clock, the floor
was cleared and from that time until
half past eleven the young people had
most delightful little Gance.
Every number on the program in |
the first part of the evening was with
out exception excellent, and in eacnI
instance called for several encores.
All the young people who took part
displayed marked talent The work |
of the Alumni Glee Club, both vocal |
and instrumental was splendid; and
the chorus of High School boys also
displayed ability. The fancy dancing |
in costumes appropriate by Marcus
Monsarrat and Sibyl Wagner, in a
coon cake walk, the buck and wing |
dancing of Miss Hazel auckland, and |
Miss LYDIA Wagner, in the song He's
a Cousin of Mine" called forth storms
of applause in attest of the apprecia- !
ton of the audience. Miss Ray Bell,
gave three recitations, and amply sup.
ported her reputation as an elocution-
list The instrumental selections Of
the Kaai Quintet, were well rendered
