December 4. that was pronounced a great success. The per formance was for the benefit of the Athletic Society of the school. From all appearances the Athletic Society will not lack funds for a while, for vacant seats were exceedingly scarce when the disturbance began, and let it be known that the school auditorium Is quite a large affair. The minstrels were all dressed in regular minstrel dress suits, while the six end men were very gaudily attired In gay dress suits of the school colors, maroon and gold. A very good feature of the performance was that all the jokes were new. Most of them were original, being cracked for the first time last night. And It may s'so he truthfully stated that every Joke was a good one. One of the end men. Mills, gave a particularly ' good performance, carrying his part through in line style. Earl Roblnsorv was the star performer In the vocal line. The dance- he and Nesblt executed was one of -the-most laughable stunts of the show. The Eukrineon quartet got In some very good work, giving two vocal numbers. In fact, every singer on the list made good. They wore all tip-top.
