Reis and Girls of Huron County
The annual Euchre and Bridge
Entertainment of the Huron 010
Boys Association of Toronto, held in
the Hygeia Auditorium, on Mon-
day evening last, was truly another
"Big Night" as previously announc-
ed by the circular to the members.
The attendance exceeded the most
sanguine expectatiOns of the commit-
tee, and the interest in the program
never flagged from start to finish.
Probably the locarjon of Hygeia
Hall added to the increased attend-
ance. This hall is what was former-
ly known as Elm Street 10thodist
Church and is only a few yains from
Yonge Street and about half way -
between Queen and College streets.
It has been re -fitted and re -modelled
and has all the requisites of a high
class entertainment and dining hall.
Well lighted, well heated, with dress-
ing' rooms, cloak rooms, dining room
and kitchen, and kitchen utensils.
Sixty tables were devoted to euch-
re and bridge, whilst many old boys
and girls occupied the cushioned
side benches, and enjoyed the social
chat, and reminiscences of 010 Hur-
on. During the progress of the
games, a splendid musical program
was carried on, the artists being Mrs -
Russell Marshall, soprano; Miss Mile
dred Brown, pianist°, anci Mr. Ern-
ie Bruce, entertainer, and all their
renditions were well received by the
audience.
Much disappointment was felt at
the unavoidable absence, through
illness, of Mrs. H. B. Stowe and Mrs.
H. I. Morrish, both vice presidents,
and Mesdames R. C. Ring, W. H.
Ferguson and IT. Martin, all active
members of the association. They
were much missed and the sympathy
of the members event out to thetn.
The prize winnerswere as follows:
Faichre, gentlemen, 1st, Mr. Lam-
onby; 2nd, Mr. Blackader. Ladies.
1st, Mrs. H. Worsell, 2n0, Mrs. B.
Humphrey, Bridge, Miss Luey Bow-
er. There were also special table
prizes for Bridge.
At. the close of the program, a
splendid menu of refreelnnente was
served, and much credit is due to
the committee composeri of Mes-
de/nee D. Thompson, McLaren, Mc-
Creath, Moon, Cobblediek, and Mr
N. B. Cobbledick. Everybody wne
well sers-ed and without any delay.
Notes
John Moonnend R. C. Kine entre-
e(' like beavers.
The .issistant seeretary, Miss Lily
Patterson, was on a visit to the Uni-
ted States and, therefore, could not
be present.
Secretary Foody still sticks to the
mato, "nothing sucasects like sue -
cess," anti the oid itesociation still
flourishes.
efeedames John Moon and Lack
Kennedy had charge of the cards and
mazes and did their work with entire
satisfaction.

When P,ert puts giner into anything
it's got to move some.
Miss J. C. Helyar, u Clinton 010

School, hould not be present, but
sent a five dollar donation,
That big hearted philanthropist, J.
A. McLaren, not only donated high
class shoes for priees, but also sup-
plied the coffee for the occasion.
jelm Robertson, the veteran treee-
mem, had a smile on as big as the
sitk of a house. The Huron Hospi-
tals will probably hear from him in
the very near future, and it will be
good news.
Miss Mildred Brown, the accom-
plished pianiete, is a Blyth Old Girl,
and is a born musitiart. She is a
daughter of Isaac and Mrs. 'Brown,'
and it is a good guess that her par- ,
ents are proud of her, and web they
might be.

soprano, is a Wingluni Old Girl, 6,r -
