No. 1 held the. attention of aboi
1,000 soldiers from .the beginning t
the end. The hall resounded wit
laughter when two colored boys frox
I ~ the city met on the mat. The nc
groes were evenly matched ln*"weigl
and the way they slugged each othe
was amusing.
Everything if cut well until th
coins began to rain dbwn on th
stage. There was a wild scrambl
for the money, and although th
"pugilists*' had the mits on the;
managed to pick up the pennies. On

wasn't quick enough after he gatt
ered a piece of change up with hi
mouth to sidestep a right jab. Ove
he bowled and almost landed at th
audience's feet. While fighting, th

One of the valuable assets the K.
of.C. has Is Private Harry A. Swee5n
ney, of the Twenty-first company,
Casual camp. He has been making
numerous repairs to the buildings.
J He was formerly a contractor in
Philadelphia and gave up a. large
business to respond the call of the
I- colors. The M secretarial corps appreciates
his work. There is nothing he
can tlx and as a "fixer" there is none
better.
CASUAL COMPANIES IN
AN INTERESTING PROGRAM
It t
n Companies Nine and Twelve Furnish
Good Talent?Put Across
h Some Good Stunts.
n
it Casual companies Nine and Twelve
ir furnished both the audience and the
talent for an unusually interesting
e "stunt" night program at Y building
e 106 on Monday evening of the past
ie week. Captain Mesissner, of the Ninth,
e and Captain Goss, of the Twelfth, de,
tailed the men of the company tc
g attend the entertainment, and the
fact that they enjoyed the whole
program was evidenced by the very
lg hearty applause which was given each
ir number. The only one taking part in
e the program who was not a member
e of these companies was Secretary
Jesse Gray, of the Y staff.
c The program was as follows: A wel\
come address by Secretary A. R.
^ Brown, building secretary of 106. An
^ enjoyable solo was sung by Sergeant
Greenspun. Captain Meissner made a
splendid address on the subject, "How
to show that you are proud of the
uniform that you wear. Mr. Gray
who is known all Over camp as "Elr.
der Cobb." made a distinct hit with
i several solos and monologs. A guitax
a and mandolin duet was rendered by
IC Gallo and Caiotzo. A very clever
e juggling aci was given oy corporal
Lj Lang. A two round boxing bout waa
n pulled off by Sergeant Williams and
^ Sergeant Tully, and proved very ex..
citing. A ten minutes wrestling match
c between Shirpau and UcChan ex'
cited a great deal of applause also.
Private Twiss was the pianist for the
j. occasion .and played the accompaniments.
p" The fact that this program was a
' distinct success created enthusiasm,
I' and It is believed that in the future
0 the stunt nights at 106 will prove
very popular with the men served
? by that building. The secretaries ir
charge will work untiringly to make
s_ the programs interesting and en
