(R. J. McGreevy, Jr., General Secretaryo
The past week has been the most sue
cessful one we have had since our open
ing. On four nights of the week we pre-
sented entertainments which were well
received by large crowds. On Monday
evening, owing to the fact that an army
officer who we had scheduled Tor an ad-
dress was called away from the camp,
we were obliged to postpone ms lecIuIe
until this week However, rather Conaty,
who had just arrived to take up ms ou-
ties as chaplain, consented to SUBSTITUTE
for the occasion and pleased large auu y.
ence with a very brilliant sketch Oh ne III
Italy Father Conaty was educated a anu
ordained in Rome and has spent cohSlu-
cradle time abroad.
On Tuesday evening we held our Week-
ly boxing contests. Owing to the Iacl
that many who were to participate IN the
bouts of that evening being obI6eo 70
go ION a hike several or the Scheduled
bouts were postponed. However, we were
able to stage eight bouts that were SO
well appreciated that we doubt tnat the
ones originally intended for the evening
could have brought forth more Applause
and comment For the coming Ihurs-
day we have scheduled several interesting
exhibition bouts exclusive of the othef
more lively contests. JACKIE clark VIII
appear in company with his sparrlng
partner, also Terry Murphy. Owing TO
the fact that boxing outside OF the limits
of the camp is now prohibited, we nave
received the proffer of assistance OF tal
ent who usually demand big prices for
their services. We have had a subs AN
tial portable 18-foot ring constructed ana
some first class exhibitions are promised.
On Thursday evening we heid
