Monday night under the auspices o.
Columbia Lodge $50 B. P. o. Elks to a
capacity house.
To specialize in the mention of the
players would be almost impossible.
To pick from the vast number that did
honor to themselves and to their in.

The fairies in their dainty costumes
with the different colored lights
thrown on them presented a most

and sailors were all given with perfect
'tage ease and appearance and with
precision, showing the aptness Of the
performers to master the minuteness 1
