Big Bunch Bought Boxes At Baud Boys’ Box Banquet.

The boys of the Rensselaer band realized about $23 net on their box social held Thursday night. There was a congenial crowd present and some fine . boxes containing some splendid lunches were auctioned off to the highest bidders. John Culp was the auctioneer and he found the bidding so spirited and the crowd so noisy that he found trouble in making himself heard or in hearing the replies to his efforts to boost the bids. One double box brought $4.25 and several single boxes brought near the $2 mark.. After the suppers were eaten a dance was held, the music being furnished by L. Healy and J. Morgan. Manager Don Wright has a proposition from a winter amusement company and may decide to put on a week’s show in the armory about the last week in January. High-class attractions are promised.
