ample of rival organization, in which "a
goodly number showed their high appreci-
alton of the entertainments Of the club and
their loyalty to it by coming out o. in spite
of the wind and rain" The "slickness" OF
this speech was greatly applauded. In lieu
of excuses, contribution OF thlrty-two
cents was received from four absentees,
who are, no doubt, bloted bond holders.
There was no unfinished business to be
taken up. Sgt. Hornblower then asked
that Sgt Lily be called to the chair, and,
this having been done, he moved that mas
much as the president had so kindly enter
tanned the club, vote OF thanks be tender
ed It. Puff for the very enjoyable evening
we had May 25th' and that SAID vote OF
thanks be engrossed, signed by each mem
Der of the club, neatly framed and present
ed TO him. This motion received the
hearty approval Of every member present
with the exception OF Sgt Dasher, who here
arose, and offered as substitute the follow
ing: That the treasurer be ordered to pur'
chase a large cabinet, with an arrangement
of movable mirrors; that lille size figures OF
the members be taken in wax ION the plan
of Mrs. Jarley's Wax works., and placed
therein these figures to be Illuminated by
a smile of placid contentment at the mag
nifcent spread furnished by the presi-
dent upon the evening referred to; and
| calling attention to the fact that, by the ar
rangement Of movable mirrors, he could
have ever before him the gratifying specta'
Gle presented by the gentlemen upon that
memorable occasion. Here hot debate
arose between several OF the members as to
the propriety of such q course. Sgt Horse
man spoke as follows: THE n. |. l.. is
the leading power in society here. No
eastern city has any club surprising this
one in literary culture, musical talents
and brlliancy. Capt, Broadhead, leader
in all enterprise, is our president 1t be-
hooves us, therefore, to take the course Of
action which will best sustain this chsrac-
ter in the eyes of the public. We don't
want any "uuhitches.n 1t was finally de
cided that soft-glove contest should take
place between Sgts, Lily and Swell, the

tons should be accepted. A minute-and-s-
half was spent in coming TO decision,
Sgt. Swell being knocked out, Sgt LILY
then presented form of imitation aud
ticket to be used for the presentation OF the
drama about to come on the boards. de
said the form of imitation was original with
himself and he would infoIm the club that
the color would be sipe- water-green. Both
were approved, and these will be the chips
which the friends of the club will be oblig-
ed TO ante in order to witness the preseuta-
ton
There being nothing further OF interest
to be discussed, the business meeting was
adjourned The president then said that,
as they had some time still at their dispo-
sal and the crowd was small and select,
they might amuse themselves as they
pleased; which they proceeded to do, by
playing some of the latest games of the day
Great was the Derriment caused by playing
"Simon says, Thumbs up" "Stage-coach,'
"Blindman's Buff" "Leap-frog," etc. The
fun grew fast and furious; and, long after
the time that good little boys should be in
bed the members OF the n. l. L. might be
seen vending their way home, singing witt
voices like the croakings of bull-frog,
Rain, rain. 20 away,
Come again another day.
