A protracted meeting of the Terpsichoreau
Social Club was held Wednesday evening,
at which considerable business of iinpOr-
lance to the organization was transacted.
An examination Of the finances showed a
balance of 5000 in the treasury, most OF
which was the proceeds of Monday evening s
entertainment. 1t was decided to rent two
club rooms in the cottage on Ibervillc street
occupied by DIR. Felix Gaudin, with the
privilege of the yard, and to establish there
u reading room and gymnasium. A COM
mittce consisting of Messrs. j. NJ. Heating,
A. G. Gondran and VIM. D. Park was au-
thorized to make all necessary arrangements
for carrying out the objects in view. 1t is
proposed that entertainments similar to that

auspices of the club at frequent intervals
say one every two or three months.
