THE B. A. c. STAG
PROVES ENJOYABLE.
Entire Programme Meets
With ROusing Welcome
by Club Members

The January stag of the Birmingham
Athletic club held last night proved
to be the most enjoyable one that has
been held recently and every event on
the programme met with more success
than was anticipated by club officials.
From the initial number until the
closing one the interest of the club
members was kept at high pitch and
enthusiasm reigned supreme.
The much heralded ring tango"
turned out to be fistic exhibition be-
tween two club members. while the
mat hesitation" was no more than a
wrestling bout. Several of these tan
goes and hesitations were staged, some
by members of the Junior department.,
and all met with rousing reoep-
ton.
The other stunts on the programme
garnered the approval of the men,
bers by their high quality.
The number of club members in at
tendance was far larger than at any
previous stag held recently and if tho
interest shown last night can be ac-
oepted as criterion then the stays
will more than likely be demanded reg
ularly by club members.
