Since its organization the Min neapolis
Press club has occupied, nominsly, quarters
in the editorial rooms of the Pioneer Press,
save during short period when the editorial
rooms of the TribH1ls were used, through the
/ courtesy of the managers of those respective
/ papers. The club was, in its incipiency,
| quite unpretentious, and the rooms men
toned proved satisfactory and filed every
requirement OF the organization, but having
gained an increased mem bership the need of
! permanent and more commodious quarters
separate and distinct from any newspaper
Office become strikingly apparent. A special
committee, together with the executive COM
mittee. was recently authorized to secure a
lease of convenient quarters and to furnish
the same discreetly and completely. The
committee acted wisely and lease |
room %, on the third floor of the magni6-
cent Syndicate block. The room was hand
somely furnished and papered and yesterday
occurred the formal opening, when the at
tendance was perhaps the largest and most
| representative during its existence.
After dispatehing the usual routine busi-
ness. several hours were happily spent In
entertaining visitors from st. Paul and Min
neapolis, and partaking of Pommery Sec, the
liberal donation of Huntington 81 Mayer,
and a delectab,e lunch spread by John
Haberbier. A box of fine Havanas was con-
tributcd by Mr.. Al. Krech, president Of the
Mendelssohn club.

tit concert rendered the club by the Boston
Ideal Opera company the report exhibiting
the fact that net profit bad been realized
from the same in the neat sum of 1924. 80.
The committee on furnishing rooms re-
ported that the cost of the same aggregated
about $40 and the report was adopted.
After short discussion il was decided to
incorporate the club, and Messrs. J. E. Ward,
A. c. Harris and E. j. c. Atterbury we're
appointed committee to draft articles and

president, and to the manager OF the Grand
for generous favors extended at the time of
the Ideal concert. 1t was also resolved that
a gold plate should be placed on the presi
dents chair, appropriately inscribed with the

est character and that its existence must be
productive Of much good and lasting benefit
