Saw Old Year Out and
 New Year In, McGrath

Watching the old year out and ush- ering the New Year in were impelling motives that caused many to be in at tendance at the big doings at Me Grath last Thursday and Friday nights Dancing, of course, was the big attraction, two evenings being re quired to satisfy the merrymakers in this partrular.
 And then, agains danres, there were quite few stunts, in reel tations and songs that enlivened the occasion,
 Moody Green was master of .cere- monies, but aside from giving atten- ton to those duties he found time to give several recitations, those of the French dialect winning merited and happy applause.
 Eli Walker was in fine vtice. His song brought hearty applause, as well as did the encore to which he re- sponded.
 Little Mary Mclean, always pleas ing, did some pretty step dancing, in which she seemed better than ever be- fore. She received the most hearty applause.
 The step dancing of Owen Gray, as usual, was also heartily cheered.
 The recital of "Tunopahs Bill" by Bessie Boyd was excellent.
 "MolIie and the Ba6nss" did you ever hear it?-was rendered by Joe Ferris and Moody Green, and their rendition brought forth prolonged uproar of laughter. Ii was good, and was the scream of the evening.
 The pleasant affair took place, of course, at the McGrath Roadhouse, Messrs. Stewart and White, the genial proprietors, giving every attention to their many guests.
 MT. and Mrs. Robert E. Lowrie fur nished the music, which was thor oughly enjoyed by all
