WAyDowN BEEBE Secretary.
When the meeting opened 312 members
answered to roll call, and Elder Toots de-
ightedly remarked to Samuel Shin that it
did him good to see the general abandon
which seemed to have taken root in every
breast When the triengle sounded Brother
Gardner arose and said:
My frens, two months ago, at de airnest
inculcashuns of a ma jority of de members of
dis club, I decided to adjourn de meetin's
frew de space of July an August l had
grave doubts as to de propriety of SIGH step,
but yielded to de pressure. De result has bin
what anticipated Dis kentry has almoas
bin plunged into war, de fishery queshun am
still an objick OF nashunal dispute, an storms
an disasters hev bin rampant all ober de
United Stats. Bizness has bin grievously
neglected. People who depended on dis club
hev had der confidence shooken. We mus at
once git back to reglar purceedins, an pur
coed to grapple wild an obercome de live
topics of de hour.
when dis club was organized we had our
annual 1eckshun an club picnic on de fust
Saturday in August. We changed it to de
second Saturday to oblige de Concord skule Of
philosophy. Den we changed it agin to oblige
de emancipashun people of Michigan an Can
ada, an has now determined to make q third
change. Owing to de fack dat de turnip,
carrot an watermelyon am not at DER best in
dis climbate until September an dat mustard
an pickles, which play SIGH important parts
in our banquets, do not begin to develop der
flavor until along about de anniversary of
Perry's victory, it has been deemed best to
sot de time fur de picnic at one week from to-
day has been in correspondence wild many
of our honorary members, an am ashured of
a large attendance. Canada will be repre-
sented by ober 100 delegates, and cherry staff
i'm de Union will send its delegashun. De place
of de banquet will be on Fighting island, eight
miles below de city We shall have de usual
games, wild de usual prizes, an l trust dat
cherry local member will do his lebel best to
inoculate n reprehensible time.
