coFdahce With a notice elsewhere in
this issue the sport has been tenn
porarily suspended. If there is de-
mand for the sport it will open up
again during Christmas week and
then again a little later in the new
year.

consisted of a series of tableaus &C
companied by singing and music; and
single, two and four voice singing.
The entire program was very well
rendered and the color effect of the
properly arranged stage settings were
well deserving of the hearty applause
given by the attentive audience of
nearly 300. Immediately after the
program the sale was on in full
swing and was also followed shortly

iasm for buying died down to little
or nothing the crowd was again liven-

who have in various methods con-
.tributed to the splendid success of
the sale.
