Meeting of Lyn-
dOnville Y. |. Society
Continued from Page l

But the truth of the matter is, that
the society is every one Of US, and
there is not an interest which so
vitality concerns every one, and
which calls for so much co-opera-
ton. If every n would keep his
own premises clean and orderly,
refrain from throwing rubbish, or
~Ettering the streets or parks, keep
the children from playing bah or
, otherwise injuring the parks and
places made for beauty, the work
and expense Of the society would
be greatly reduced.
A most interesting part Of the an
nual meeting is the reports of the
various committees. MANY of these
n summed up in the treasurer's
report, which shows what has been
accomplished, but all the reports
are well worth hearing.
Mrs. w. c. Conner reported a
successful season for the Boulders,
! which was rented outright lastlNear
to Miss Alice Bancroft, who gave
great satisfaction to the public and
had a good business for herself.
Nh. Conner also reported that the
Casino held a good season of
dances, with financial profit, and
they were so well conducted, and
the parking facilities SO carefully
looked after, that everything went
well.
c.. L. Stuart reported on the
skating rink, a venture which was
undertaken not for profit but had
been a fine thing for young and
old. The deficit is about $50, but
the committee think that another
year, with their better knowledge
of how to proceed, they will be
able to open the rink much earlier
and have a better and longer sea-
son, with " interesting
features. The powers Park com
mittee have built a road crowned
with river gravel from the entrance
of the park to the athletic grounds
and graded the entrance at a cost
of about $1204.59. They have also
begun two tennis courts which will
be completed this year at a cost of
about $500.
Reports from the lecture course
committee showed a very profit
able course, and a most interesting
one The course for next year is
aleady engaged, and there will De
six entertainments, instead of five
every n of them first-class, at
once the best and the most eXpcn-
sive course we nave ever had.
Reports were also given from the
rummage sale, the cleanup week,
and the Washington ball, all Of
which we're profitable. MR.. Byron
Morrison gave Il special report on
the local talent shows which She
has been conducting for the snec-
ial purpose of making new acen-
cry and fixing up Music hall stage.
Part of this week is completed and
the improvement can already be
seen. A pageant, to be given q lit
tie later, is relied upon TO furnish
additional funds.
