Elks Enjoy Evening.

| OF substantial social enjoyment last
night. From the moment the doors of
the cosy, handsome and well appoint ted
home Of No. GOT swung open to receive
members and guests to the evening s
entertainment to the farewell of the
last parting guest it was one continual
round of clean, chaste and harmonious
pleasure. Those present represented
the various best elements Of our citi-
zenship. The mine operator and the
miner, the professional ana the busi-
ness man, the sedate and the gay, met
on the utmost level and mingled in the
most unassuming and benevolent man
ner.
| The reception rooms and halls were
crowded with members aad visitors, at
least three hundred being present.
There wss excellent MUSIC by Leach s
orchestra; there were rendered some
choice and hugely enjoyed solss by
singers whose names appear on the an
nexed programme: there were exhibit
tions Of wrestling, tumbling and the
''manly art" that commanded the
hearty, appreciation Of all present
There was something doing all the
time that enlisted the enthusiastic at
tention of The large assemblage. The
occasion was the third anniversary of
the dedication of the Elk's 3 home and it
was most appropriate observance of =
very worthy order. Its patriotic char
acter 10 reflected by its display Of the
national emblem wherever the eye
turns, the precepts of which it iastills
and tho example of which it prac. ices.
Its benevolent features have been sx-
empltied on many occasions in be-
half of the children of the city and
those deserving su bstantial assistance.
Its social being has n. q been confined b
the members, but its doors have been
literally thrown open for public ssjsy-
ment both under the auspices of the
order itself and As an accommodation
to other pleasure causes, With its
membership of over $50. it can enumu-
rate in its list the very best types Of
our citizenship.
These occasions are looked forward
70 with the highest anticipations aAd
eash recurring one is more enjoyable
than the past.
Jesse j. May wss the chairman I. { tt Q
evening and presided in a prompt and
digniied manner. He kept things NOV
ing all the time SO that there was no
tedious waiting for the several stunts.
The committee on arrangements had
prepared the programme and had car
ried out their share of the work in q
very capable style. The. spread that
followed the programme was all that
the inner man could desire and proved
conelusively by the way the good things
disappeared that the viAnds were of
the most appetizing nature. Owing to
the brief time before going to press we
are unable to comment as is desired On
the individual merits Of the numbers on
the programme and it sufficeth to say
they we're all up to the high water
mark. The following 10 the program;
