torium on Sunday, February 2. This was supposed
to have been held earlier in the season. but for var
reasons has been postponed from time to time.
A drizzllng rain. that turned into sleet. some
what marred the day, but nevertheless our friends
. turned out en- masse. From near and far came
friends and patrons in response to the invitations
that were issued. About one-thirty they began to
arrive and by two o'clock comfortably filed the
auditorium. 1t estimated that twelve hundred
people came to hear the program, and we're not dis
appointed, for splendid program was arranged for
them and everyone did their best make success
The opening march, Liberty Day." was played
in lively tempo which kept the incoming crowd NOV
ing fast in their endeavor to find suitable seats A
special number FROM AS You Like IT, made up of
catchy airs from Chauncey Olcotts latest show, was
also played.
As most of the audience had apparently arrived
Mr. G. w.. President of the Circle, arose and gave
the opening greetings, and with few we'll chosen
words welcomed the visitors
The overture that followed was a wonderful
composition of exquisite movements, from andante
double forte allegro, and delivered in most
pleasing manner by the prison orchestra, who were
roundly applauded for their good work.
The first paper read was about ''The Manufac-
ture of Stee from the time it leaves the ground un-
til it is converted into the finished product. Mr.
p G., the author understands steel thoroughly and
his paper was we'll written and we'll received. being
delivered in a strong pleasing voice.
An extra number, played by the orchestra, was
characteristic rube piece. which never seems to
lose its popularity. and this one proved excep-
ton its title I Amt Got Weary Yet" indicates
Songs and sayings by Mr.. J. M. kept the house in
uproar and he called back three times to slng
when Tony Goes Over the Top The little poem
he recited was full of pathos and even more so when
rendered with the soul stirring of Hearts and
Flowers
A treatise on the Standardization of Weights
and Measures" prepared by Mr.. F. P. The pa

we'll read and favorably received.
The Rainbow Girl" musical selection brim

and appreciated and given hearty applause.
Mr. F. B., in his new song from New York, did
splendid. His far carrying voice and well pronoun-
ced words make him singer par excellence. My
Paradise" his first song sung in such pleasing
way that the applauding for encore tremen-
dous. On receiving a second encore. he sang, God
Be With Our Boys Tonight and did it in great
fashion,.
A paper written by Mr. H. g. was master
piece. In his dissertation on "A Modern College Ed
ucation," the writer showed his KEEN intellectual
ability and delivered his work in logical
ner. which pleased highly.
Dallas Blues" was played by the orchestra as
extra number, and is of the popular pieces of
the day.
Mr.. Z. S. and Mr.. S. d. put on double number
by way of song and art While Mr.. D. was singing
Three Letters From Home.' Mr.. S. drew colored
pictures. among them home with service flag in
the window; the river Rhine with it's Notifications
and a very good picture of the noble Gen. Pershing
and others. This pair easily the honors of the
day, being called back time after time.
The audience stood while the national anthem was
being played. 1t was we'll pleased and satisfied
crowd that departed for home while the lifting
notes of Liberty for all waited at the end of per-
feet day.
And last but not least the circle wishes to thank
the members of the orchestra and Prof. r. J. Rech-
klzer for their cooperation in helping to put on
such pleasing program.
