THE AFTONS.
Last Monday evening, in spite of 90
deg below zero, the Aftons, a club or
ganiZcd for the purpose of promoting
SOciability. and also noted for keeping
all engagements. with two large sleighs
occupied by eight couples each-and
q
pleasure excursion at the residences
of Sherwood and Knight, about four
miles out. After riding several hours,
wandering down the river bank, over
rocks and hills, down ravineS and I'M
broken roads, horses plunging in snow
drifts, the Aftons clinging to the
sleighs, and occasionally to each other
to balance the sleighs, the exclamation
came from the president and general
rE Il, -,
are lOStW The half-frOZen pleasure
seekers were obliged to succumb to
their fate. However, road number
three was experimental, and eventually
brought the brave AftOns to their
destination at the farm house, where
they were cordially received by the host
and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell and
daughter, Miss Fannie Mitchell, who
did everything in their power to enter
tain their guests. The first number Oh
the programme was refreshments,
plenty of sandwiches. This important
feature of the evening was followed by
harmOnica solo by the only member of
the party who was not diSfgured from
the continual trumpet blowing Ell route
TO the Knight residence. The '.soli-
taiTe" waltz was performed by a prOmi-
nent society couple residing on st. An
thony hill, who by this time had fully
recovered from the shock of being
lost. The club then rendered several
original and appropriate choruses,
which were followed by scene from
Julius Cesar by the professional
gentlemen of the party. This con-
cluded the interesting programme, and
the Aftons were once more on their way
rejoicing, making night hideous, re-
turning to the city at an early hour.
The club numbers at present about
thirty couples, mostly residents of st.
Anthony hill. The club will attend in
a body the Minneapolis Grand this week
