The Yale expositor., 1920-07-08
Biggest Crowd in History of the
Association Attends DOings
This Week

Monday last was perfect day
for a celebration, and the people
surely realized the fact, for this
years attendance was the largest
in the history of the organization,
some of those present declaring it
was the largest crowd ever gath
cred for doings in this locality.
From the time the gates were
opened in the morning crowds of
people began vending their way
to Riverside Park where the do
ings were held and by noon it was
estimated that 1,500 people were
on the grounds.
The forenoon was given over to
the athletics and the base ball
game. The sports were hotly con-
tested, each event having several
entrants. The base ball game
between Yale and Peck was rather
One-sided, but furnished lots of
excitement for everyone who at
tended it, At the end of the
glmc the score stood 13 to 2 with
the visitors on the short end.
The entertainers arrived in the
forenoon but did not begin their
program till after dinner.
Promptly at one o'clock the Kill
t.o Lads and Lassies made their
first appearance on the streets,
and from that time on they held
the crowds attention.
The Henderson Juvenile Pipe
Band, under the leadership of
Pipe-Major James Hamilton is
surely a wonderful aggregation
of youngsters. Never have the
people Of Yale and vicinity heard
such piping and the appearance
Of the band on the streets or the
platform was we'll received.
The work of Alice Dunbar, the
lady comedian was the best ever
seen or heard in this part of the
state, and her every appearance
was a signal for. a very noisy
demonstration. Her songs were
good, her costumes were better
and her reception beat anything
the society has yet had on their
programs. She is sure of royal
welcome any time she may visit
Yale.
Oliver Sinclair, concert tenor,
was surely valuable addition to
the entertainment. His singing
was thoroughly enjoyed by the
large audience, and everyone
looked eagerly for his every ap-
pearance on the platform.
Little Sam and Dorothy Munro
in their songs and dances were
numbered away up among the
head-liners, everyone declaring
that they were even better than
last year and Sam, the Juvenile
Harry Lauder was a scream. His
renditions of the famous Gomez
dams songs was enjoyed as much
as anything on the whole pro-
gram. But he certainly took the
crowd by storm when he sang
Nanny" The only thing we can
say of these two children is that
they are the best pair of juvenile
entertainers we have ever seen
or heard.
In order to strengthen their
troupe the Henderson people this
year brought with them Gladys
Comber, champion lady dancer
piper, and her work was certain
ly much enjoyed by all.
The other members of the COM
pany were Kenneth Dunlevy, Will
lie Perkins, Mary Bishop and
Margaret Mcclellan, every one OF
whom is there with the goods,
either as to dancing or with the
band.
During the intermission an ad-
dress by Rev. Ralph M. Crissman,
of Port Huron was thoroughly
enjoyed. 1t was partly in the ma
ture of a patriotic address and
the speaker gave an explanation
of the word Caledonia, telling OF
its origin, and the way the days
are observed both in Scotland and
this country.
The second part of the Scotch
program was a continuation of the
first and everybody seemed to be
satisfied that they had received
even more than their moneys
worth.
The base ball game for the af.
ternoon was played by the Avocs
and Emmett teams, and the morn.
