Y. M. c. 4. MINSTRELS.
Thursday Nights Show Perfect,
Travelling Mems Opinion,

The second rendering of the Y. NJ.
c.. A minstrels passed off without
a hitch Thursday night. The perform
ance was even better and smoother
than the night before. if such was
possible. The work of the chorus
was perfect and the individual work
was much better. Herbert l..
Slayton commonly known as Rat"
brought the house down with one of
his jokes in such a manner the au-
dience had hard work to regain its
balance. The audience of last night
seemed to be in a more receptive
mood and all of the participants re-
ceived a good supply of applause.
Curly" Goss' work was very much
enjoyed and he received a number
OF encores. The dancing or John
Dobbs was a great feature and the
songs given by individuals were we'll
rendered and all received several
encores. The selection given by
John Thomas was especially enjoy
ed, as was the work of Mr.. Has
seltine as a variety musician.
Four travelling men, who were in
the city Thursday night attended the
show and said that the chorus was
the finest they had ever heard, es-
pecially in the last selection of the
first part, To Thee o Country. This
is a great compliment to Fred Whit
tier, who trained the chorus and he
was responsible In a great measure
for its success. The financial end of
the performance was also crafty
ing, as the receipts were about $500
a night, with total expenses of about
$500. so between 5000 and $500 were
cleared for the M. @. A.

enty odd years, that she found the

the class whose social position was
merely pretended, while the women
who had every reason to be proud
of their family tree and their own

absolutely forgetful of this stand

the game to be brutal and blood

Principal Leon Codd of the

Codd is an athlete and foot
