The Ryan club yesterday wrote the Sec
rotary of the carnival association a letter
that was worthy the dictatiOn Of much
older heads. 1t expressed their indigna-
ton at the decision that no members of a
club containing less than twenty-five MEM
beers would be admitted to the palace
grounds free. They said the Ryan club

sisted of twenty-three members. and II

out.
