BOXING AND WRESniNG PROGRAM ON TONIGHT Athletic Carnival to Bring Variety of Events to Howard Gym at 8 O'clock · The stage is all set for the athletic entertainment to be given by the Wit mette PlaygrQund and Recreation board at the Howard school gymnasium tonight at 8 o'clock. A large crowd is expected and arrangements have been made to take care of them . With an all-star ca$t of amateur buxers and wrestlers, the best on the north shor·e, and the fairy-like tumbling of the DeLofta Tumblers, together, with the magical entertainment furnished by the Matthew Drees company, formerly of the Orpheum circuit, and the antics of Al Smith the comedian, the villagers are assured a real all-round entertainment. Then, to cap the climax, the board has secured the services of the "'Masked ).larvel," who is de scrib ed as a musical "\Vow." Who is she and what is she, you must come to see, but she \\·ill be there in person, it is explained. ' "One of the most intere sting missions of the American hoard is its mis sion to .
