AMONG THE CLUB-HOJSES.
HOW THE SUMNER AFFECTS THEM.

| MEN-PROGRESS OF THE UNION LEAGUE
Club entertainments are pretty well finished for
| the season, and the period Of midsummer dulness
is close at hand. Brooklyn, however, does not
suffer such interruption OF its club life, al
| though the number Of club freQucnters are fewer,
| as does its big neiChbor. the city Of New-York
| There the exodus from the clubs to the mountains
| or the seaside resorts is general, and makes II
| larger corresponding impre ssiOn the attendance
at the cub-houses. This is because Brooklyn is
| city Of homes, and its clubmcn who have the
| means TO do so do not bolt from their haarths
| to such an extent their New-iork brothers.
What your BrOollynte does Is TO send his family
| away somewhere and then in his hours Of lone
| someness his club becomes haven of refuge He
