First of a Series of Entertainments to Be Given In the Washington Avenue Club House. The Scranton Bicycle club conducted one of Its delightfully Informal smok ers last evening In Its club rooms on North Washington avenue. These af fairs will be made features of the com ing winter. The entertainment offered last even ing was equal to any vaudeville per formance ever given in this city. Tho first features were Frutchle, the trick bicyclist, who gave a clever exhibi tion on the lloor of the auditorium. Parish, Itooney and O'Nell, who, strange to relate, are n trio of negro entertainers, next appeared and gave a varied programme of songs and dances. Charles, Hartley, the famous ven triloquist and Imitator, gave one nf his clever monologue acts, which served to only Increase his excellent reputation as a remarkably clever and versatile performer. He gave perfect Imitations of Rich ard .Mansfield. Stuart Itobson, tho late Thomas 11. Krone nnd a number of other celebrated actors. At this stage of the proceedings a number of the members of the "Sleep ing City" company, now playing at the Academy, put In nn nppcarance and helped out the evening entertainment. Miss Dell Lincoln, the soubrette of .the piece, sang several songs In a clever manner. She was followed by Harry Wlnsman, who gave a whist ling solo. Tom Flynn also entertained with nn Irish specialty. Hut the cleverest of all those per formers were Fred and Nelly Daly, who gave a comedy sketch, assisted by their dog "Flnnlgan." Miss Daly Is a comedienne of marked ability and very well received, In fact, tho audi ence couldn't seem to hear enough of her. She gave an Imitation of Hag gle CHne that was so perfect that one might close one's eyes and Imagine that the robust "Irish Queen" was singing. She also Imitated May Ir win In an acceptable manner. The committee in charge of the af fair last evening was as follows: Chairman, C. P. Krelg; F. M. Vand llng. At the conclusion of tho stage Northup, It. T. Gould and F. C. Wet ting. At the conclusion of the stage performance refreshments were served to all present In the gymnasium. THAT GIFT FOR DEWEY. Detailed Description of Pennsylva nia's Tribute to the Admiral.
