BENEFIT NIGHT
For Augusta General Hospital at the

The benefit night which was held.
Thursday evening, at the Select Role:
rink was great success, and the pro-
gram was carried through very smoothly.
The gross receipts of the house amounted
TO $3.50 and this sum will be donated
10 the Augusta General hospital.
The first number on the program was
the regular moving pictures, with roller
skating in the intermissions. The pic
lures were some of the best that have
ever been shown at the rink. and met
with the approval of the large audience.
The Augusta Military Band was present
and rendered number of selections dur
ing the evening. The members of this
band and all others who took part in
the evenings entertainment gave their
services free for the benefit of the hos
pital Mrs. Reed favored the audience
with three vocal solos which We're much
appreciated. Miss Helen York acted as
pianist for Mrs. Reed.
Prof. Will Carpenter gave single ex-

then he and Bright Star gave a double
exhibition. Both these men are very
clever on the little wheels and they
drew large amount of applause from
the spectators. Bright Star has been
on the skates but very little for the past
few weeks, and it was very surprising TO
see the clever way that he carried
through some of his difficult stunts.
