U. was a most successful event ami the senti ment seems unanimous among those who attended that it was among the most enjoyable socials which have ever been given in the city. There was a large attendance. A very entertaining piograin had been prepared. Piano solos wcro given by Misses Ethel Palmer, Adclia Hartb and Laura Parker, their selections being rendered in tbe most pleasing manner. These young ladies are among our best talented musicians and are always sure of the appreciation of their audiences. Miss Kdua Parker favored the company with a recitation. Her talent in this direction is of the highest order and her selection was greatly ap preciated. The bovs of the brigade furnished perhaps the most pleasing datum of the program by a drill. The perfect maimer in which they performed the various evolutions was a p'casing surprise to nearly every one present and the boys covered themselves with glory. Ralph Berry advanced his alieady well established reputation as a baton t wirier of ability, his performance in this line being decidedly brilliant. Elmer Werlz officiated as bugler in an admirable manner. After the program refreshments were served, then the comp iny entertained themselves w ith games ami other social amusements until the hour arrived lor dispersing. Tbe object of the social was to ad vance the interests of the Boys' Brigade, aud it li awakened a more general interest in that organization, and a better appreciation of its possibility of gXd results, both present and future. The boys receive an appreciable benefit from the drills and the qualifications for membership are such as to place the qualities of good citizenship at a pre mium in the minds of the boys.
