CHINESE MEAL PROPOSED.
It is in the minds of some Of the Montaukers,7
however, to give a reception that will be, perhaps,
the most unique ever seen in Brooklyn club
house A party Of them went 10 Chinatown in
New-Yorlx last week 10 partalte OF Chinese din
ner. They went to be surprised, aud were sue
cessful One Of the party. who has dlned IN al
most every quarter Of the globe north OF the
equator, except China, declared that many OF the
dishes were prepared in a better manner than any
he had ever encountered before. \ number OF the
" Montaukcrs7 have conceived the idea Of bringing
Mott-st over there and having Chinese cooks pre-
pare Chinese fare for the supper AT their next re-
ception. The idea is not rs radical as may appear
at first sight. Not long ago the Thirteen Club
held a dinner in one OF the MOtt-st. restaurants,
and a very good dinner 1t was, according 10 the
testimony of those present. Indeed Chinese COOKS
of a high order command large wages on the
Pacific Coast. The chances are that, II the Mon
tauk makes this proposed innovation, II VIII nave
many limitations among the other clubs.
Tomorrow or next day the work OF tearing
down the old cftfl1-house OF the Lincoln VIII
probably be begun 1.-The extracts were let yes
fsrday and the cost of the work will be In the
neighborhood OF $4,000.
