A VERY l'LEASAXT EVENING

the Entertainment of Dickson Club.
Kunavtayon Muln Avenue-Social
at Home of Miss Kichurds.
The entertainment and social given
In Hears' hall last night by the mem
bers of the Dickson Banjo, Mandolin
and Guitar club attracted a large at
tendance. The room was profusely
decorated. Over the center of the stage
In brilliant ornamental letters was the
word "Dickson," and suspended from
each side were two large American
flags. From the center of the room
were draped streamers of blue, and
along the walls many smaller Wags
were arranged In unique designs.
The llrst number of the excellent pro
gramme was the "Heroic March," by
the members of the Dickson club.
Llew Herbert rendered a selection en
titled "I Fear No Foe," In hi usual
good style, and the overture, "En
chantment," was skilfully executed by
Arthur E. Morse, accompanied by Wal
ter Davies on the piano. The soprano
solo, "When the Heart Is Young," by
iSIlss Julia Allen, was warmly applaud
ed. Master Stanley Swartz and Miss
Bessie Fraunfelter played a duett on
the banjo and guitar In an excellent
manner, and were compelled to respond
to an enthusiastic encore. The con
tralto solo of Mrs. Dora Metzgur was
well received. Robert Frledrlch gave
a zither solo, accompanied on guitars
by Messrs. Watklna and. Mayo. Eos
Cynon rendered a tenor solo entitled
'Children's Home." and the Dickson
club followed with "Love and Beauty
Waltz." "Flow Gently Deva" was ren
dered by Eos Cynon and Llew Herbert.
This was the closing feature of the
evening. Miss Annie Williams, of
Tenth street, was accompanist.
- After the entertainment dancing was

An Exciting Runaway.
A - horse attached to a light cutter
dashed up Main avenue yesterday at a
rapid rate of speed. When danger was
the most Imminent, Motorman Alex.
McTagzart and Conductor Richard
Phillips, who were running the Eynon
street car up the avenue, Jumped from
the car and captured the horse Just in
time to prevent a smashup. The ani
mal and cutter were placed In front of
Mason's store to await the appearance
of the owner. The latter came up a
few minutes later and explained that
the horse ran away from him while
driving near Hampton street. The cut
ter was a total wreck.
Social Was Held,
