The quartett rehearsed it and came out and performed as if the organization had been doing it for decades. Both the quintett number and the quartett were especially good. Need less to say that the new lyric, par ticularly the last stanza, showing how by a strange coincidence most of the big boosters for the Y. M. C. A. are "George's doing it," took especi ally well. The orchestra closed an alto gether creditable performance with an instrumemal selection entitled Thunder Cloud, under the direction of Professor J. D. Haines, whose work speaks for itself. The concluding stanzas of the para phrase of "Good Old U. S. A.," read: licularly good, not only from a standpoint of mnsterly playing, but for the choice of the piece for this occasion. Mrs. A. L.
