That the Detroit Socialer Turn
yerein Is an institution OF which any

demonstrated to the satisfaction OF q
large audience at the Detroit opSa
house last night where 400 active
members OF the organization perform
ed difiicult feats of strength and
agility and went through graceful

the way in which his pupils perform
ed.
Both sexes were represented, from
little tots barely able to walk, up TO
fully developed men and women. The
drills performed by the various
classes represented months of hard
work on the part of Director Kate
and the manner In which they We're
executed speaks eloquently for the
directors method Of training.
The work Of the junior and senior
classes on the various apparatus
was the feature of the evening.
