The N. Y. x. club will give a big
benefit dance for Company G at Roth
schild park tomorrow evening. Prep
arations for the dance are we'll under
way and if the weather permits this
will be one of the most successful
charity dances ever given. Though
the admission fee is considerably
smaller than is customary for charity
balls the boys are looking forward
to large proceeds. The club, in this
way, will get in touch with people
who cannot afford to pay the stipu-
lated sum every month for the support
of families of members of Company
G, but will be glad to help along in
charity affairs such as this, as the
price is within the reach of all. Do

that this charity dance will be big
and successful one. 1t sure will make
