Especial mention should be made of little Winfred McDonald, who, with her partner, Edward Bush, led the In tricate figures of the grand march without an error. From the viewpoint of the scholars, who measured their gym equipment by the crowd of the evening, the af fair was no less a success. The gross receipts totaled $313, which, with all expenses paid leaves $189 to be used in the purchase of equipment. Following the program the floor was clear and with music furnished by Kemp’s orchestra several hours of dancing were enjoyed. W. \V. Woodward, formerly con nected with the Drumheller dredg ing works north of Anchorage, has returned from the states, where he has been on business for several months. W. G.
