Dsaa 81 R, -Will you kindly per- mit me to address through your ad - omits a few words to the public re- garding our Y. M. C. A. course of en- tertainments for the coming season of 1911-12 Inst winter we had a series of four entertainments which. I believe, gave general satisfaction to those who at- tended then. They were fairly well pat.rosimid and the Association cleared more than one hundred dollars from the course. We were fortunate in having good weather for all the events; otherwise we might have lost money instead of reaping in profit. Our expenses amounted to more than eve hundred dollen and only one hun- dred and forty course tickets were sold. Consequently we had to run a consid- erable financial risk, and also had to do a great deal of work gratis in man- aginr the entertainments. - This season's expenses will be greater than last year's, as we have to pay more for the talent and have to use the Victoria hall for all of the en- tertainments. But we are presenting & course that should be very attract- ive, superior even to last winter's series (though the priee of the tickets is the same Rogers and Grilley, a harpist and an entertainer. who open the season an November nth, provide an excellent program ; John B. Ratto, who ap- pears on December 4th, is a very clever impersonator, always captivat- ing his audience; tbe Weatherwax Brothers Quartette, January 19th come bight recommended as singers, readers and trumpeters ; while the Hussars, a band of nine who close 1 be series on March 29th, not only ap- pear in their attractive costumes and perform military movements, but also term a college glee club and a brass bacd and drum corpsAlttbie talent has been secured from the Canadian Redpath Bureau,• and is not only re- commended but guaranteed bythem. We believe that we are performing a public service in bringing such tal- ent to Godericb and we appeal to our friends for a continnatioe of the sup- port they so generously gave last year. At least two hundred Doane tickets should be taken. In Oalt a similar course is being arranged for end ix hundred tickets have already been sold, more than covering all expenses. Surely Ooderiob can do at least one - thin' as well. We look for a hearty response to the canvass now being made. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I am, our, truly, A. M.
