h The club house of the Town and
! Country club at Lake Como was for
mallv opened with music and dancing
and big feast last night. Sometime
before 1880 Dayton avenue began to
present sort of an equipage exhibition
near the Benedict" No. 200 Dayton
avenue. There were several large
omnibus Sleighs drawn up. In little
while these vehicles were filled with
laughing ladies and gallants, and the
some invited guests, set out for the
Como mansion. Some adventurous
youths walked out, regardless of low
temperature.
AT the club house it was a very lively
scene. The large ball room to the left
OF the main entrance was a temple of
TerpSichOre. and several dances to Sci
berts music afforded lively fun. Some
of the members were in the dark blue
uniform of the club, trimmed with
black aStrachan and made a la Russian
hussar. The dancing was superin-
tended by Major A. E. Bates, w. II.
Patterson, E. |. Frost, Manly b. Curry
and Walter S. Morton. Occasionally
the programme was interrupted to al
low some volunteer TO tickle the ears of
his OF her audience with choice songs
and operate selections. 1t was indeed
an occasion of making merry, which
reached its climax at the banquet to
which the Climb sat down about 10
O'Clock. The small hours of the morn
ing found the club returning home,
slightly fatigued but as jolly as ever.
The club was organized on the even
ing of Dec. s, 1886, in response to a call
issued by Manly B. Curry and w. III.
Patterson, over which Maj. Bates pre-
sided. Judge R..R. Nelson is the presi-
dent; Judge &. f. Flandrau vice presi-
dent, and Frank B. Clarke secretary.
H. Patterson, Maj. A. E. Bates, Manly
b. Curry, E. L. Frost and w. S. Morton.
SUMMER AND WINTER SPORTS.
The object of the club is to join in all
carnival paStlmes i'll winter and subur-
ban pleasures in summer. TObOggan
slides and skating Kinks now at Como
will give way when the weather gets
warm enough to bathing and boating,
and the sleigh rides and snowshoe
trampS over the snow will be sue
ceeded by drives along Como boulevard
and around the pretty lake.
