The whole even- ing's entertainment carried out the "electiou" idea, this being suggested in decorations, score,~cards and other de- tails.

 AT THE CLUB
 The painters have begun work on the interior of the Club building, which should soon be as fresh and as shining as a dollar.
 The entertainment given on Thurs day evening in the Club auditorium was a most excellent one, and was witnessed by an appreciative audience which filled the hall to the doors. An open ing farce, "Senator McPhee," by Messrs. Purinton, Hall, Datson and Mrs. Mabel Robinson, caused great deal of laugh ter. The illustrated song by Mir. D. J. Kinzie and vocal solos by Mrs. Chas. Spores were heartily applauded, as were also the trombone solos rendered by MT. Wasterlain. The first exhibition of the new moving picture machine was looked for with considerable interest and proved most satisfactory in every way, the pictures being clear and quite free from the blurring which so often accompanies them. The pictures pre- sented the fleet in San Francisco .har- Dor, with the accompanying parade and flower carnival.
