A musical skit entitled Fun in a
Boat" was given in the Casino on Sat
urday evening before an audience OF
about $50 people. The scene was set
as a motor launch. A group Of the
young pepole were sitting in the
launch singing and telling jokes as
would be the case in a real sailing
party. This pleasing offering was pro-
duced under the personal direction OF
G. Fredrick Earnshaw of Chicago, ably
assisted by Miss Lois Smart of New
York. Songs were sung, jokes were
told spray dashed against the boat,
the engine baked. a man fell over
board, a life preserver was thrown out
to him, sea weed was in evidence, and
a general hilarious and delightful time
was enjoyed. The singing was ac-
companied by a mandolin. A banjo
also was aboard. and rendered several
selections. Walter r. Dolliver Of Bos-
ton acted as captain and was a gener-
Gus contributor to the merry making.
John Topic made several hits with
Jokes and dissertations. Harold Stock a
bower proved the wit of the occasion
and G.. Frederick Earnshaw the star of
the performance because Of his sing
ing and reciting.

sermon at the weekly Sunday morning
/ church service held at the Casino.
