way and asked that all members aid
him this year in making the work
for the year successful. Ritz Brothers

rounds in the art OF boxing.
Mr.. w. II. McClung. well know has
so, sang two selections. Carl Near

song to liven up the occasion. Tommy
Mears put on a dancing act that
pleased. Gump's orchestra furnished
the music for the occasion. Manager
Peter Haberstick arranged very
good menu. and the eats" were highly
enjoyed.
At IL o'clock. the jovial evening
was turned into lodge of sorrow.
The Eleven O'clock Toast" by retir.
