One of the most pleasant events of
the season took place at the M. E.
church Friday evening, when the
Young Men's League gave a banquet,
wnicn was prepared and served in a very tasty manner by the Ladies' Aid society and the Girls' Social club. Prior to the banquet, in the auditorium of
the church, a short musical took place
which consisted of 1. Address of Welcome Mr. Purdy.
2. A Quartet Messrs. Spittle, Rip-
petoe, Collins and RIggle. 3. Solo Horace Kurtz.
4. Quartet Messrs. Spittle, Rippetoe,
Collins and Kurtx.
After the program all retired to the
basement and remained standing until
after Rev. Rippetoe offered the bless
ing. Course one was served, which consisted of cream tomato soup, wafers
and sweet pickles. The toastmaster; A,
G. Lundqulst, announced that Mr.
Purdy would talk on the object of the
T. M. C. L. Mr. Purdy responded by
saying that the object of this organlza
tion was for the betterment of the young man and our community in
general, and further added that he wished each and every one of our community would give all possible assist
ance in the organization of the T.
M. C. A. Course two, consisting of
roast turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy,
dressing, cranberry ice and cabbage
salad. The toastmaster agreed with Mr.
Purdy's views on a T. M. C. A., stating .tbitjt Js our duty to do; more for our
posterity than our fathers di-for us. ! and then Introduced VV. C- piuaey, who after telling twoyery-stnuslng stories, gave a very able talk upon the subject "Th -Young Man Our Successors," in ' "which he laid." great stress upon the value of character building. Course three followed, which consisted of .ambrosia, cake and coffee. This concluded the banquet and the toastmaster
told a very amusing story concerning a Jew and how he obtained a suffix to his name, and introduced the speaker, IT. E. ShepardA. B., who discussed the qualities of a well organized and governed T. M. C. A. The toastmaster
then being thirsty after so much ex
ertion requested the lady who was
serving his table to bring him a glass
of water, informing her that his other
glass was a little small. The glass.
which he received, would have quenched the demands of a small elephant.
and greatly amused the onlooker. After quenching his thirst the toastmaster
ntroduced M. C. Mayne, secretary of
the Y. M. C. A.. Gary, who gave a very instructive talk on the way tc-Troceed
o organize and establish and maintain
a Y. M. C. A. -This concluded the regu
lar program, but it being rather early
C. E. Fowler was called upon to give
an extemporaneous talk, which he
gave, showing his ability as an orator,
and covering the subject of evolution
of our countries regarding the broad
ening of the minds of the church work
ers. which is being more noticeable
year by year. Rev. Rippetoe gave a short talk and thoroughly impressed
all what a great help a Y. M. C. A.
would be to our community and It seemed to express the sentiments of all
present. This concluded with the way
in which th evening had been spent
and resolved to work for the object
which was so thoroughly Impressed on
their minds that evening.

One more haven for local boxers and

ten days unless present plans fall through, says this morning's Chicago
Examiner. Gus Meeker of Hammond,
which town has been closed to the box
ing game since the Knockout Brown-
Jimmy Clabby affair, visited local pro
moters yesterday and announced that
the game was to be reopened in the Hoosler town on a clean basis. IIe
plans putting theflrst show on inside
of ten days. v
Battling Nelson, who has not been
seen in action in the vicinity of Chicago in years, may be one of the principals in the windup of the opening
program. The Dane will be seen in action if a good opponent can be secured
for him. Eddie Murphy has been sug
gested. Mickey McBride agreed last
night to have Eddie weigh 135 and let Nelson come in at catchweights. This will make a corking good go. Charlie Whlte,who is awaiting a clash with Johnny Kilbane in Cleveland, also is a
probability for the main event of the
first card. A good featherweight may be brought here from the east to travel ten rounds with Charlie.

balcony was reserved for women and their escorts. '. The club put on a real show, not of the exhibition variety, with two rattling ten-round swtutfests and one for six rounds. The women seemed to like the milling and applauded the fighters. Willie McGee and 'Young" Donnelly, lightweights, furnished the excitement in the ten-round windup.

Taking the results of the scores of of thm all and if he had rolled all of
the Lake county pin men who rolled at
Dexter Park pavilion, Chicago, yester
day in the doubles and singles, they
will not fare very well in the prize money. Although their scores will average on a par with the rest of the pin men there is yet a long list of teams to
roll and it is feared that all past marks will be smashed to smithereens before the close of the tournament. The Gary bowlers did not mark as well as the Hammond shooters in the five-men contest, falling away below their expectations. As Hammond they found the runway too slippery and caused them a great amount of worry
in keeping their feet. Hammond also fell down in their doubles and singles yesterday and rolled way below their
usual form.
Seemingly they would' Ret a good start, but before they neared the last frames they were bound to get a tough
break, the maples refusing tofall for
them. As in the past Hammond could
never go away from home and get good
scores as they do on the local floors.
