The entertainment at the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening under the auspices of the business mems gymnasium class proved to be one of the most success ful ever held at the association.
 At o'clock the clans commenced to gather and few of the invitations which had been extended remained unaccepted, those few being due to the indictment weather or sickness or unexpected calls upon the recipients. The fun commenced with the indoor baseball game between Reeds "Bron- cho Busters and McDermotte's Cop per Kings" which was holty contested and closely played throughout, re maining in doubt but with the advan- tage in favor of the Busters" all the way through to the last inning.
 Armstrone's Fine Work.
 The pitching of Armstrong and his batting constituted one of the main features of the game for he struck out fifteen of his opponents, made three of the nine hits for his side and scored three runs. Close behind him in the batting came Slide" Martin with two hits, two runs and stolen bases galore. Gibson in the outfield was a bright and particular star, pull ing down three high ones and he too made a hit and a run. Captain Reed had the distinction of making the only sacrifice hit in the game and that re- suited directly in a run for his team.
 This was all for the Busters" but the Kings" did some playing, too. McDermotte struck out twelve, made a sensational catch, and gave fewer bases on balls than Chief Armstrong. In addition he scored two of the five runs his side made and drove out a neat single. The other batting for the Kings" was by Logic, J. G. Brick son and Baltzley and the runs by those four players and Lockwood, who made the circuit after receiving a base on balls Both Ericksons, one on either side, did excellent work. Be yond a couple of wild pitches and passed balls there were no errors in the game, which resulted in a score of to for the Busters" who out batted the Kings" nine hits to four.
 Supper and Speech Making.
 After the game players and guests adjourned to a delightful supper pre- pared and served by the ladies com mfttee, which was as dainty and tempting as any ever known. The physical man being satisfied, a feast of reason followed with every speak CT at his best, and humor and good natured "jollying" were features, with an occasional undertone of serious ness.
