membership of Cancn City lodge, ex-
tended greetings to the visitors and
expressed the pleasure of himself and
of his associates )f :hr organization
at having so distinguished a body of
musicians present to do them honor
Although the program was largely
of musical character 1t was inter
spersed with popular numbers and
was sufficiently varied in its compost
tion to suit ell tastes. One selection
of the latter kind, "The Circus" made
the hit of the evening and aroused
the utmost enthusiasm
Every number was musical gem
and in rendition every number was as
nearly perfect as possible. In such
an organization there is naturally a
great variety and diversity of instru-
ments, but all were played with such
skill as to produce absolute harmony
The singing, as well as the purely
orchestral part of the program, was
of the highest order and the vocalism
of Miss Knorr. Miss Wood and Jack
Fink was superb. Miss Knorr was the
pianist of the evening and it was
while acting in that capacity that she
sang three very pleasing selections.
Miss Wood is a magnificent singer
also and by her contributions to the
program added to the enjoyment OF
the occasion. AS an Interpreter of
popular songs Jack Fink has few SUI.
periors anywhere.
Tod Powell entertained the gather
ing with fine exemplification of the
famous hula hula dance OF the Hawaii
ans and other fancy steps.
The program was admirably bal
anced and combined to afford an even
ing of high class yet unique and enter
tanning amusement and advertisement
that will ha Ia,
those fortunate enough to have been
present to enjoy it.
The orchestra by coming here per
formed a service for Canon City peo
pie of which they are duly appreci
ative and for which they will hold its
members in kind regard.
Just before the conclusion of the
program Samuel NJ. Duncan, exalted
ruler of Colorado Springs lodge No
3o9.made an address, in the course ol
which lie explained the purpose oi
the orchestfa's visit here. He said
its members. with accompanying dele
cations from the lodge, had visited
various other Elks lodges in south
ern Colorado. among them those al
Florence, Cripple Creek and Victor
with view of drawing closer the
fraternal aies that bind the order OF
Elks in one great brotherhood.
NJ. +. Stubs. secretary OF Colo
ra6o Springs lodge. was among the
visitors here Thursday night and II
is due to him in no small measure
that the trip to Canon City lodge was
made.
