LEWISTON MINSTREL ENTERTAINERS
SCORE AN UNQUALIFIED HIT With
Three links CLUB SHOW, CITY HALL

A real large evening, with real
large minstrel show, featuring a real
large end man, that was the at
traction at City Hall on Wednesday
evening. The minstrel show was
presented under the auspices Of the
Augusta Three Links Club, by the
members of the Three Links Club of
Auburn and Lewiston, and was voted
by the audience as one of the best
minstrel shows that have been seen
on the boards at City Hall for a
long time.
49, Easily the largest part of this
show was Lawrence Walton, featur-
ed as the largest end man in any
minstrel show in New England. Wal
ton is young man and apparently
has long time in which to grow.
but at the present time he tips the
beam at 325. In spite of that fact
he was clever with his feet and was
called back several times. The part
of his dance that seemed to go best
with Augusta people was that in
which he resembled the elephant at
the circus that does the Skinny"
This proved without a doubt that he
was wearing no pillows. to increase
his waist line.
The remainder Of the company,
while not up to Walton In size, put
their stuff over in the same first
class style and had their audience
with them from the opening of the
curtain until the last encore of the
finale. The jokes were especially
good, few old ones being heard, and
they were told in way that could
be easily understood by all.
A very noticeable feature Of the
show was that the end men. EACH
armed with tambourine, knew how
to use them for something beside
ornaments. They could sure bang a
mean tambourine, and with six of
them doing their stuff at the open
ing of the different numbers, one
didn't need an ear trumpet to hear
them.
The setting of the show was very
pretty. A green curtain in the back

arranged for the annual Edwards
Night at the Augusta Y. NJ. C. A,
Wednesday. Every department of
the recreational facilities Of the "Y'
had been turned over to the big
group of workers and their families
from. the cotton mill, and IL never
before, the capacity of the Y. NJ. c..
A. building was taxed Wednesday
evening.
It was happy family which VIII
ton o. Dean brought with him to
participate in and enjoy the matches
on the bowling alleys and on the
gymnasium surface. And the out
bursts of hilarious laughter and the
happy looks on the faces Of the
pretty young girls. the lively young
men, and the older conservative
members Of the Edward personnel,
present, indicated that everyone had
caught the spirit Of general jolifi-
cation and was having the very best
time ever.
Record Crowd Participates
Arecord was established last year
at the Y. M. C.. A. when the Ed
wards Night party brought some $50
pleasure seekers to the building, but
that record was shattered and one
set up last night which will prob
ably never be surpassed without
bulging the brick walls right off the
Augusta Y. M. c. A: building. As
tickets priviledging the Edwards
folks to all the facilities of the "Y''
were given out as the crowd as
sembled last evening. q fairly accur-
ate count Of noses was possible, and
the 300 figure is therefore no esti-
mate, but rather certainty.
The program for the evening had
been organized by a committee made
up of representatives Of the several
mill departments, of which Milton o.
Dean himself was the general chair
man, and he with his co-workers had
planned a series Of games and con-
tests between the several departments
which brought out big galleries of
loyal rooters for their favorites.
From the bowling matches with the
ladies participating on an equal foot
ing with the men, to the battle royal,
| which was one Of the side-splittingly
funny features Of the program of
sports in the gym, everything was run
off with splendid precision, and it is a
debatable question as to who had the

Following the show, a dance was
given with music furnished by a six
