The club, not forgetting the honor conferred
upon them some time since by Miss Madden,
marched TO her residence on Constance street,
and there serenaded her with melodious strains.
Coming down Tchoupitoulas street. they passed
by the olub-room of the Tigers, and were greeted
with long and lusty tigers" Not satisfied with
these numerous honors, the club marched with
,ntiring steps until they reached the hospitable
residence of II. Bonnabe, Esq, on the Bayou
road near Claiborne street, where Miss Anna Bon
