Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The summer is rapidly passing, and
the thrOng of visitors who have been
in Denver during the holidays will
soon be gone We shall miss them.
The Y. NJ. C. A. will especially miss
them, for many of them have visited
the building while here.
At the meeting of the committee on
management last Wednesday evening,
the program for the fall and winter
was indorsed. 1t calls for an expendi-
ture of nearly 5000 This amount
must be raised if this splendid pro-
gram is carried out. 1t is the best
and most comprehensive we have yet
undertaken. The committee also ap-
proved the plan of city-wide mem
bership campaign, which is scheduled
for the next three or four weeks. The
committee will go out to secure 33o
men and $50 boys. Plans will begin
at once for the carrying out of the
program.
The croauet tournament is progress
ing nicely. with few of the players
very nearly out. At this writing Les
lie Lightner is slightly in the lead, but
he has several other contestants YET
to meet, and his percentage is likely
TO be lowered. Surprises continue TO
occur, among them being the taking by
Sims of all the games from Bell, ana
then losing heavily at the hands OF
players from whom Bell took every
thing. Such surprises have frequently
been noted since the tournament be-
gan, and are hard to explain. A pleas
ant feature of the contest has beeh
the great number of spectators VINO
have come to witness the games. lt
is hoped that the players Will nave
finished in time for the publishing OIL
the full report in the colored papers
next week.

Merely Nominal Rioht.

The freedom of the city of London
carries with ii. nominally, at any rate,
the right to keep pigs in the parish of
st. James Piccadilly. But even were
any one disposed to avail himself of
this liberty, and if the sanitary author
tiles failed to object, land in that part
of London is somewhat too costly for
profitable pig-farming.
