That Westminstefss second Ghaa-
| Ianana was thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated is attesled by the fact that
over e25 people readily pledged them
selves TO purchase season tickets next
year. The contract for the ChauIau=
qua for 1914 calls for 30 guarantor9
which we're found without any trouble.
L seems probable that the demand
for season tickets for next year VII
exceed the supply n was the case
this year, for only I25 season tickets
are 10 be issued.
