Salem, June % 1886.
The very genel Gus offer of Messrs.
Schenning was taken under considera-
ton by the club, and while the PROPOSE
ton was more than could be expected,
yet it seemed to be the opinion of the
members present that it would be mex
pedient to accept said invitation for our
next annual festival, in view of the fact
that the interests of the club were repre-
scented by only seven members in attend
ance, and the feeling that all the mem
bers of the club should be consulted.
The invitation was consequently laid
upon the table for the present.
Col. M. Frank moved that no change
in location be made this year for holding
the annual picnic, and that said festival
be held upon the club grounds at Pad.

Capt. John Tuttle presented rival in.
vitation from the ladies of Kenosha city
to hold their festival in Kenosha, and
moved to amend the motion of Col
Frank. "That the club hold their next
annual festival in the public park in the
city of Kenosha."
Mr.. S. Y. Brande remarked, that i
the invitation was authorized, he would
second the amendment.
After discussing the matter in which
all members present participated, S. Y

localities i'll the year 1886, and, in con

void Of suitable accommodations, while
expressing their thanks to Messrs. Schen
ming for their gratuitous offer to furnish
free their eligible grounds, believe tina
the similar invitation of the citizens o
