Tho audlonco closed tho formal program by singing four Improvised songs, to popular airs, after which punch and cako wore served by the ladles of tho chambor ot commorco. Tho chamber ot commorco audi torium was too small to accommo dato the crowd, which was forcod to find standing room in the otflcos adjoining, tho open dcors between tho offices and ,tho assembly room, however, enabling thorn to hear, even though they could not' soo tho participants in the program. Numerous expressions ot approv al ot tho now chamber of commerco quarters wero heard on every sldo and It Is evldont that this auspicious opening will havo a stimulating ef fect upon tho llfo ot tho organiza tion.
