MUSICALE and SMOKER
ENJOYED BY NUMBER
COMMODORE C. c. euRooYhE EN-.
TERTAiNs MANY RESIDENTS
or DAYToNA AND VICINITY AT
BEACH STREET HOME.

Commodore G. G. Burgoyne gave
another pleasant musicale and
smoker Monday evening at his Beach
street residence. nearly a hundred
residents and winter visitors of this
city and vicinity enjoying his hos
pitality on this occasion.
The invitations issued by Commo
dore Burgoyne stated that a Be.
thoven symphony had become stuck
in his organ and that he needed as
sistance for its removal. The invita-
ton was couched in terms of such
evident distress that it was simply
impossible to decline, especially in
the case of those who had on pre-
vious occasions partaken of the COM
modore's hospitality.
+. The combined efforts of the as
sembled company had the desired
effect in starting the lodged symphony
and it was followed by many more
delightful selections. interspersed
with interesting numbers on the
commodore's magnificent Victrola.
Shortly after 9 o'clock refreshments
were served, which included delicious
chicken pileau, salads, sailed almonds
and a refreshing beverage, followed
as it was proceeded, by cigars and
about 10000 o'clock the guests began
to take their departure.
The informality of these stag en-
tertainments given by Commodore
Burgoyne puts everyone at ease and
makes them very popular social at
fairs.
