the ATHLETIC CLUB RECEPTION.
A Gay and Brilliant Assemblage.

Athletlc Hall, Downey Block, last
night was the scene of one of the most
brilliant assemblages ever gathered in Los
Angeles. All the fashion and beauty of
the city were there, as the guests of the
Los Angeles Athletic Club, which en-
braces in its membership the jeunnesse
doree of the city. The Hall was beauti-
fully decorated and showed that the
young gentleman to whom this part of
the preparations had been allotted were
adopts in that art. The entertainment
was under the immediate direction of
the following committees:
Reception Committee Lee, j. C.
Rays, II. l.. MacNeil Geo. S. Patton.
j. r. Smur.
Floor Manager, Il. A. Preuss.
Floor Committee-Max Cohn, s. B.
Dewey, j. B. Banning, Bowles L. Taney,
d. Drysdale.
The entertainment opened with gym
nastic exercises by the Messrs. Strohm,
Preuss, Laubenheimer Lash and Weyse.
on the horizontal bar. Mr.. Strohm has
reputation as a thorough and graceful
gymnast which is not con-
fined to this coast, but extends
to st. Louis and other Eastern
cities. As 1.-the and muscular inter-
prefer of the poetry of motion, which
is as conspicuous on the bar or trapeze
as i'll the dance, he cannot be excelled in
California. Our accomplished pharma-
ceutical friend, Mr.. E. A. Preuss, is not
easily surpassed in the ranks of the
Turnverein Germania of the United
Stares; while the Messrs. Laubenheimer,
Lash and Weyse acquitted themselves
admirably. Mr.. S. B. Dewey is quite an
artist in the manipulation of the India n
clubs The fencing bout between
Strohm and DR.. Lathro p enlisted the
marked attention of the audience,
Strohm being both an excel
lent fencer and boxer, in addition
to his other accomplishments, and DIR.
Lathrop being no mean adept at the
foils. Mr.. w. M. Caswell, who is small
but thoroughly muscular, displayed a
remarkable degree of skill and prowess
with the dumb bells. The athlecic ex-
ercises wound up with an exciting and
well contested race between the Messrs.
Lancaster, Fleishman and Winston, in
which Fleishman proved to victor.
AT 10 o'clock the floor was cleared for
dancing and continued until A. NJ, all
seeming to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
