 Is BIC SUCCESS
lContinud from paoe fD

uon O, it's leader, William Gorbgach, the band played three pieces of music. This band has been organized only seven weeks. and in that length of time the boys. while not finished musicians by any means, have done wonders. when the fact that most of ,hem didn't know how 10 blow a horn when they started is considered A great deal of credit is due to MT Gorbracht for his competent direct ing of the organization.
 The story of the evening would not be complete without special mention of those who took smaller parts. parts which especially fitted last nights unique affair and all of which did a great deal toward get ting the money" the object Of hold ing the charity social. For instance, Dick Wood and Eddie Stroecker con tributed their part toward the sue cess of the evening as. in white coats, aprons and cooks caps, they circulated among the people, baskets on their arms, selling such delicacies as peanuts and chewing gum at g. per order in carnival money or twen- ty-fiye cents in real money. And Robbie" St. George looked like he had been "cut out for a "ncws butcher" OF a cross country train in a brass buttoned suit of blue and blue skull cap, criss-crosscd with gold braid as he walked through he crowd peddling cigars and cig arettes.
 One of the features of the evening was the address of welcome delivered by Leroy Tozier. He had been re que ted to make the address by John Kelly, the leading spirit in the en- tire entertainment and MT. Kelly had written off a few of the things which he desired Mr. Tozier to dis course upon. The joke of the entire thing was that MT. Tozier, when he arose to make the address, mere ly read off the memoranda which had been sent to him by MT. Kelly.
 There is as yet no way Of telling just how much money was realized for charity during the entertainment, for it is still at its height as we go to press at 1 o'clock this morn ing. Those in charge of the finances reported last night that more than $75O was taken in during the first hour in admissions exclusively, rc gardless of the fact that considerable more money was spent after the people once secured entrance In fact, so great was the demand for carnival money that the $15,0 ,000 which the committee had printed was gone in a very short time, and the bills haa to |, used over and 0Ier again numbeIle7s times during th5 even ing, keeping the members Cf the if nance committee rushing in from he gambling tables and the bar to .he cashiers office with money, ill order that the demand might D." supplied
 Nothing was sold at less than 8" carnival money last night. You paid S150 in real money to Pink" Brun- ing for your ticket of admission and in exchange Frank Herpick, in silk hat and frock coat, handed you three crisp $5 carnival notes. After that you were privileged to go to the cashiers desk, presided over by George Wesch, and get $20 ill carnival money for every dollar you wanted to spend in real money.
 You spent your first five" just inside the door. For there you were certain to be met by Mrs. G. F. Beraud or Mrs Bowen, who would stop you long enough to "get the money" and to pin small badge on you on which was printed ''F. C.. $. 1917" After that your money spending depended on some of the many separating influences.
 The success of the affair can be greatly attributed to those who were in charge of the various features, all of whom worked tirelessly. These include John Kelly, general director of the entire entertainments; Mrs George Coleman, Mrs. Rae B. Carter Slim" Packard and Fred Rhind, di rectors of the music and action of the various choruses.
 The program of the evening was as follows:
