This is the third time the Henderson Kitties appeared in Durham and each time they are gaining increased popularity. The music and dancing were excellent in every way. The program was varied to suit all tastes. The proceeds am- ounted to over $160, and, with a suitable hall, would easily have been doubled, as, with things as they are in town now, there are many who never attempt to buy tickets, knowâ€" ing beforehand that the hall will“ be filled to overflowing. Taken altogether, the committee are to be congratulated on the suc- cess of their day. With the excep- tion of the tug-ofâ€"war, the teams for which did not show up, and a couple of the racing events for which no entries were received everything that w as advertised came off accord-i ing to schedule and was, we think, even a little better than expected. It is to be hoped the Red Cross will make it an annual affair *and with time and experience so improve the celebrations from year to year that they will establish a reputation for amusement days that will draw the: crowd from far beyond the circle now recognized as Durham territory. The proceeds of Monday, we under- stand, will net the Red Cross in the neIO'hb01 hood of $300. 00.
