The annual Gentlemens night of the
Lyndon Union Club is always anticipat-

Thursday evening, Jan. 20, fully met the
anticipations. With the members of the
club and their guests, the number who
gathered in Music Hall to listen to the
attractive program offered was about
500. Nearly so guests were present
from st. Johnsbury most of them arriv-
ing on the evening train, so that the
exercises did not begin until all were
comfortably settled, the whole floor
and two rows in the balcony being
occupied. Music was furnished by Aub-
ms orchestra, four pieces, who gave the
first number on the program. Mrs. B.

gave few brief but we'll chosen words of
greeting, and introduced the first speak

Mr.. Fleetwood gave an address of about
half an hours duration, most scholar
~ talk, and one which showed thorough
knowledge and wide command of lam
guage. His subject was Conviction YER
sus Convention" and the subject was
most carefully studied and skilfully
wrought out. Mrs. Jennie Cross Trull
of Biddeford, Me-, a favorite reader.
was the next on the program. her first
selection being an original monologue,
"The Bridge Whist Victim Consulting
the Doctor" This is Mrs. TrulPs first

favo. able impression, adding to finish
ed delivery and gestures, the attraction
of charming personality. Mrs. Anna
Somerville Cross then sang. her first
choice being ooh, Love Lend Thine Aid
from Saint-Saens Samson and Delilah."
