MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
ANNUAL Lapies Nicut Wirsa B. U. 
GLEE CLUB FOR ENTERTAINERS. 
It takes more than interrupted rail- 
road traffic, with consequent delays, 
and a driving rain storm to dampen 
the spirits of a college glee club if the 
performance by the Boston Univer- 
sity Glee club in Manchester Town 
hall on Monday evening may be used 
for example. The accident to the 
Mystic River bridge on the B. and M.., 
which made it necessary to divert 
trathe several miles off the course, 
almost caused the postponement of 
the annual Ladies’ Night of the Men’s 
Brotherhood. But the audience was 
good natured and a liberal allowance 
of ice cream made everybody happy 
during the wait. The entertainment 
which was scheduled to start at 8 
o'clock did not begin until consider- 
ably after 9 o’clock. 
But when the young men of the Glee 
club arrived they went at their work 
with a “snap,” characteristic of the 
college youth, and made up for lost 
time. Without hurrying their pro- 
gram and avoiding the deletion of 
any part of it, they put lots of “pep” 
into the numbers and cut down the 
intermissions. They were able to fin- 
ish the entertainment on schedule and 
scurry back to the station through the 
rain in time to catch the last train. 
The first number was a glee club 
selection, “The Trumpet Calls Away,” 
and the encore a humorous little song, 
“Last Night I Held Her on My 
Knee.” “Come Where My Love Lies 
Dreaming” was the second glee club 
number. A pleasant surprise was in 
store for the audience when the read- 
er put in his appearance. He was a 
Manchester boy, Allen G. McKinnon, 
who is a senior at B. U. His readings 
were a_ gratification to his many 
friends in the audience, not only from 
the fact that they were highly enter-

taining, but because they gave evi- 
dence of a gift that should contribute 
greatly to the success of the Man- 
chester young man in after life. 
The first reading was a “down 
Maine” tale and was given with con- 
siderable effect. His reading of 
Robert Service’s “Shooting of Dan 
McGrew” was perhaps the most ef- 
fective number of the evening. Solos 
by Messrs. Wardle and Peterson were 
well received. Other Glee club num- 
bers were “Hawaiian Love Song,” 
“Since Pa Has Bought a Limousine,” 
“Soldiers’ Chorus,” “De Sandman,” 
“The Phantom Band” and “Claris- 
sima.” = Mr. McKinnon read John 
Hay’s “Jim Bludso” and a baseball 
poem during the second part of the 
entertainment. 
The entertainment was well attend- 
ed and in spite of the delay in starting 
was thoroughly enjoyed., 
FATHERLESS CHILDREN FuNpD From 
At, New ENGLAND. 
Ss 
The following letter was received 
yetserday by Supt. of Schools John 
C. Mackin of Manchester, regarding 
the Joffre fund to which the school 
children and others in Manchester 
subscribed: 
Dear Sir: 
The Boston Committee of the 
Fatherless Children of France desires 
to announce that the Joffre Fund on 
Saturday, May 19th, amounted to 
over $196,000.00. When this fund 
was presented to Marshal Joffre it 
was stated that it was the gift of the 
school children of Boson. This was 
incorrect. The committee, therefore, 
wishes to emphasize that the amount 
received was the gift of all New Eng- 
land,—the general public, as well as 
the’ school children, generously re- 
sponding to the appeal to aid the 
French orphans. The sacrifices made 
by some of the contributors were 
touching and inspiring and the Com- 
mittee is profoundly grateful for all 
the help it has received. 
The entire amount contributed has 
already been transmitted to France 
without deducting any expenses in- 
curred by the committee. 
For the Committee, 
E1izaBeru S. Crarts, 
Chairman.
