Directory Meeting fthe Coronado Social Club
appointments OF COmmittees-LOca-
ton Question-Membership.

| The twelve directors of the social club
being formed, met last evening at Captain
| Osborne's Office in the Zimmerly. The
child having put in an appearance the first
thing In order, as estimated, was TO name
| it. A number of names were offered,
among them Antler, Wichita, Manitou,
Kaw, etc, etc. The most taking name
was Coronado" 1t was recalled that he
had in his day been dandy. Eastern
history had it that he had a sprinkling of
| Spanish blood in his veins and being quite
aggressive had placed himself at head of
band of explorers and warriors and pro-
| ceeded out of the heart of Mexico north up
| through New Mexico, thence eastward to
Western Kansas. Later advices have it
that the great old man of the seventeenth
century pitched his last earthly tent on
the Arkansas river near where it is Joined
by the Little Arkansas. This late revela-
ton was very much in favor of using his
name in way that would make IL more
familiar and lead to inquiry about him.
The name adopted seemed to give general
satisfaction
The following gentlemen were appointed
committee on bylaws: Richardson, w.
w. johnson, Fraser.
Committee ncharter-Captain Osborne,
Fitch and w. A. Smith.
Committee on location-Geo. L. Pratt,
A. G. Jobes and +. Z. Logan.
The directory will meet Saturday even
ing next, TO consider the report of the COM
mittees and proceed with the work 1t is
thought the committee on location is a
very important one and in its work the
club will be very much interested. Some
favor securing a residence building near
the center of the city, and fitting it up
cleverly will make inviting headquarters.
Others favor the fourth or fifth floor of a
block with elevator facilities.
