features of the game were the pitch-,

the Si&ty-first band, and the generaw
' "hit at wiTT** sph-it of the rest of the
! Sixty-first team. While the many errors
and "explosions" of Musician Pe-1

j "Peanut." furnished the amusements
or features of the Seventh band. But;
I nevertheless they tried to "show up" j

/ Last Tuesday erening. at the base

surpassed, evoa the high standard
that had formerly been set. Fori
this excellent piogrurfi we are indebted
to the young ladies of Chariot to and
the members of the medical corps i
hailing from Barracks Xa. 6. For two |
hours these stellar performers held I
the packed house spell-bound, and
wupn cne^raso nunoer wras given iney
were still crying for more numbers.
The gripping interest of the program
was maintained, not only by the rare
talent of the numbers but also b^i
the variety of the "stunts." There
was all the gamut of thrills from the]
finest touch of the classic to the musical
rattle of "Jazz bands."
Tlieir reputation, as musicians and
entertainers prececded the young
ladies of Charlotte and this reputation
was greatly increased after the
many popular numbers that they furnished
to the large audience. But
the surprise of the evening eanae to
the abilities of the uniformed meny
bers of eld Barracks No. of the b^Be
hospital, since we had been living in
the midst of "stars" unknown to uu

one of its best programs Wednesday M
evening. March 20. A good crowd
was present and Mr. Strawbridge, ,
building secretary, had no trouble in-,
receiving generous response for talent.
It was a great evening, and every- -J,
body had a "hang-up" time. The
.stums were new and novel and provoked
much applause from the large
and appreciative audience that was -rr
O'Connor of Company 54. 61st regiment.
at the piano, and B. Froman,
of the 61st Headquarters company, .
at the saxa phone. These popular rou- "f,
sicians are always "Johnny on the
