He was allowed to remain with the “gang” on promise that he would be held in custody until after the event was over. At this stage of the entertainment each guest was presented with a toy. Some got rat- tles, others auto horns, whistles and clappers. Kiots of noise followed. Miller in Cabaret ‘Role. W.

A guest was sent out by Director Cushing, ; with. the order that the racke: be stopped, but the man reported ‘he could go nothing with-the fellow, and upon being asked ‘who he’ was, ; replied: “It is Governor Frazier building a! toboggan slide for the board of re-! gents.” Songs followed, by | jof the guests.

They bumped, they rolled and they bursted on the heads Everyone was hitting or punching a balloon as it drifted to- ward him. The dining rooms was filled with them. The colored ‘“bub- bles” afforded a striking spectacle of merriment, keyed to the extreme. | O'Connor's orchestra, reputed for) its musical hits, played the accom- paniments, a fine program: of march- ‘es and ragtime numbers.

The CarpentierDarcy whirlwind; three-round fight went a draw. The; principals were the Roberts brothers, who gave a ripping good bout. Both boys are fast on their feet, have a qui¢k eye and displayed a sharp de-| fense, which shows ‘training in ‘this| particular branch, of athletics. Orris W. Roberts, meteorologist, and ‘father of the boys, refereed. The jabs shot at:each brother were sharp and in the third and closing round, pyrotechnics held sway, when Doth speeded up to lightning quick- ness. The boys proved ‘good enter- tainers and made an excellent ap- pearance and impression with the members. A farce, showing the old guard ma- chine at work being exemplified by a little fellow with a steam-roller, | and the latest machine by a big fel- | low, labeled, “Townley,” with a big} steam-roller, the latter’ chug, chus- ing aroung and finally chasing the old machine off the track, was one of) the take-offs on the president of the league. This was followed by more professional talent in amusing stunts. Constitutional Convention. One of the great hits was the re- solving of the club into a constitution- al convention, it being announced at the start that the club's reform de- pended on instant action being taken. Various amusing articles were sub- mitted and at once agreed on, keep ing the crowd in a roar of laughter. At the conclusion of the labors of the convention and while congratule- tions were being expressed, a member of the supreme court arose and kick- ed the constitution full of holes. During the courses humorous: an- nouncements were made from time; Messages came from differ- | ent parts of the state and those of 2 humorous. bent were read by the df rector, One came from J. M. 'Baer, cartoonist, who sent his regrets that he was unable to attend and appear on the program.

We want| Robinson!” went up cries from the south end of the dining room. “Your president, Mr. Coates,” said Director Cushing, “says you can have him.” aoe That the supreme court should pub- lish its opinions in the press one month before they were rendered, was an opinion from the attorney general written by Assistant Attorney General Bronson. eee “We want Andrew!
