BRUNSWICK STEW.
A jolly Party in the Woods.


Yesterday morning party Of well-knoUn gen.
tlemen determined to escape the heat Of the city
for day at least, and to that end organized them
selves into Brunswick Stew" Association.
They provided the necessary ixlngs for day out,
and at an early hour might have been found
coolly camped under the spreading limbs Of the
giants Of the forest which abound In the vicinity
of Crystal Springs. Here they spent several
hours In lazy fun, telling stories smoking cigars
drinking lemonade and spring water and getting
up an appetite for the feast which was being pre-
pared for them q short distance away, and the
savory odor Of which filled the woods for mile
around. This was Brunswick stew, prepared Of
camp fires, under the direction of Colonel Robert
TeeL, who In such matters hasan experience worth
millions
About 2:30 p. m. the dish was finished and the
spread ready for the hungry party. 1t would
have tempted an epicure from his dainties; so, as
q matter of course, the gentlemen Of the club
room were seated and, as an evidence Of their ap-
probation, the rapid disappearance Of the stew
spoke more eloquently than all the adjectives In
the language. After the feast another rest and
quiet cigar, and then an adjournment TO the
races.
The only incident of the day which caused any
excitement was an attack OF the party by horde
Of elbow Jacket bees, but by skilful maneuverng
and an aoroit flank movement the savage little
devils were driven away without leaving sting
behind. Among the gentlemen were Messrs
Robert Teel, John 7. Price, John NJ. Young, Jos.
Fletcher, George ID. Miller and about twenty
thanks was unanimously rendered Col. Teel, and
1t was decided that Brunswick stews were such
good thing that party No would have to be or
ganiEed at o very early day.

Sick Young Men.

We are requested by the special committee on
visitation Of the sick Of the Young Mems Chris
tIan Association OF this city, to call attention to
the fact that they will be glad to be notified of
the fact Of the sickness Of any young men in the
city who need attention. The special work of
this committee is to care for young men who
may be sick away from the comforts of home, and
need companions and attendance. This commit
tee will be glad to do whatever may be In their
power to visit and provide for the necessities of
sick young men in our midst 1t is not pecuniary
aid that is always needed, but the lonely homes
and the need Of friendship and small attentions is
oitentimes felt as keenly as absolute destitution
We, therefore, most heartily give place to this
statement,
