"A round Of pleasure, that's what
you have sent u.s." says Robert E
Shull Of 124 Field Artillery. He writes
to the Canoe Brook Country Club, tell
ing them Of the arrival of cigarettes
after the armistice: "They were
brought to the front to us and to-
night we shall have a round OF pleas
ure curling smoke"
Ernie w. Cash of Battery d, 124th
Field Artillery, is picturesque in a
brief way. He says: Along with fear
full silence, after ten weeks Of roaring
guns and bursting shells, we received
the cigarettes forwarded by The Sun.
l enjoy them very much and gladly
send my thanks to you"
Owing to the generosity of tho vol
unteer performers on Friday night in
the Yama Yama room of the Hotel St
Andrew, which Manager Veitch hal
dedicated to the fund for Christmas
smokes on that occasion, IL proved to
be one Of the happiest in the history
OF the fund. The musical programme,
made up in equal parts of popular and
patrit songs and partly OF favorite
operate selections, was in the able
hands OF Miss Lillian Teece, 1.-The Aus
tralian Personality Girl; Phileas Gou-
let, Buddy Ralph and Mary Eaton,
Solly Cohn, Bob Harding and Jack
Smith and Miss Jean Moore. They
were individually applauded and
Obliged" with encores willingly.
Jimmy Flynn introduced several
new songs and so did George Myers,
with compositions by Grant Clark, who
accompanied him. Blue Bird Blues"
also a new song, being introduced by
Bob Harding, had an instantaneous
success. Other novelties came from
Banjo Wallace, the banjo virtuoso who
beat up the house" with his solo. and
Monte Calhoun, who gave an amusing
improvisation to the strains of a uke-
lele.
NJ. J. Mccarthy sustained his repu-
tation as a successful auctioneer, and
various gifts made to the smoke fund
his bonhomie. Miss Teece was a lib
eral bidder and bought in several arti-
Giles, including the handsome silk
quilt, which had been reserved for this
party as affording the proper place
to auction II.
The Boxer swords and the famous
bale of cotton were not offered, owing
to lack OF time. as this party began
late and those who attended IL had Il
strong penchant for music and kept
demanding more and more numbers
from the artists. The benefit to the
fund is only partially known, but II
reached a handsome f1glire
