ress made up to the present time. His 

 lecture, while lengthy, was much en- 

 joyed by those present and at its con- 

 clusion the audience joined in the sing- 

 ing of "Auld Lang Syne." During the 

 lecture some of the most familiar 

 Scotch songs were rendered by Mr. An- 

 derson, his rendering of "Loch Lo- 

 mond" being vigorously encored. Mr. 

 Vincent was tendered a rising vote of 

 thanks by the club. 



Befreshments were served during an 

 Intermission, after which a vaudeville 

 show was staged. Charles Bird ren- 

 dered some Scotch selections which 

 wfere well worthy of mention. As a 

 concluding number, the "Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Quartette," consisting of 

 Messrs. Bauer, Nuth, Hochstead, Thau 

 and Kress, sang the famous German 

 song, "Schnitzelbank, " under the lead- 

 ership of Charles Peters, after which 

 the evening came to an end. It was 

 pronounced by all the best affair 

 ever put on by the local club. The 

 entertainment committee, of which F. C. 

 Bauer is chairman, worked hard to get 

 this affair in shape, and their efforts 

 were successfully rewarded and appre- 

 ciated by all those present.

 store is 25x88, with an attached con- 

 servatory 25x50. Three large windows, 

 8x17, give ample display space, while 

 inside the store is an icebox, done in 

 white enamel and nickel, 16x10x6, 

 which is used entirely for display, the 

 stock box being located in the rear 

 of t&e'^store. The business was started 

 by E. W. Pierce, at 509 North Charles

 creased, due to the live wire efforts of 

 its founder, who deserves great credit
