PRESS CLUB ANNUAL.
st. Paul Pencil-Wielders Have
Their Annual Banquet and

St. Paul -Wielders Have
Their Annual Banquet and
Election.
Nothing but an annual meeting of the
st. Paul Press club, with the wirepull-
ing and banquet on the side, could
have polled the full strength of the
newspaper men of st. Paul. Fifty
wielders of the blue and black
pencils turned out at the an
nual meeting at the Hotel Wind
sor yesterday, giving a fair idea
of the newspaper strength of the city.
George Thompson, of the Dispatch, the
president of the club, occupied the
chair. There was no preliminary Skin
mishing, when once the club came to
order, but the annual election was at
once proceeded with. But the skirmish-
ing had been accomplished in advance.
A ''sIate" had been prepared and
printed tickets circulated, but this UNI
democratic proceeding had apparently
aroused the independent electors and
the slate was ruthlessly smashed. The
offices were filled separately, except
the executive board, which was nom
mated by the daily papers, with two
members to represent the weekly ard
unattached press. The result was as
follows:
Presidential T. Black GLOBE.
Vice Presidential. E. Chantler. Dispatc h.
Secretary-Horace G. Dunno. News.
Financial Secretary-George a. Finn, Dis
patch.
Treasurer-Henry a. Castle
Executive Board-C. S. Bartram, Pioneer
Press; Ii, P. Hall, News; George Ii. Moffett,
GLOBE; NJ. j. Costello Dispatch: C. w. Ry-
der, Tribune; Carl Niehausen. Volkszeitung
David Ramaley and E. v Smalley.
After the election the banquet was in
order. Col. MOnfort had given his per-
sonal supervision to the menu, which
was served in unapproachable style, as
follows:
New York Counts.
Bouillion Ell Tasse.
Celery.
California Salmon, Anehoyy Sauce,
Potato Croquettes.
Sweetbreads Glace. With Mushrooms,
French Peas en- Cases, st. Julien.
Broiled Quail on Toast
Asparagus, Baked Mashed Potatoes,
charlotte eusse Shrimp N salad; Too Groom.
Assorted cake.
Roquefort Cheese. Water Crackers.
Coffee. Fruit.
The dinner was not marred by oratory,
and when the menu had been discussed
from oysters to cheese, the members re-
sumed their session. The forthcoming
benefit was discussed. for which liberal
offers had been made by Manager
l.. N. Scott and several others, and
there is every indication that the benefit
will not only be complete dramatic,
but a perfect financial success. The
club then adjourned for two weeks
| after passing a vote of thanks to Messrs
SOmmers and Monfort, of the Hotel
| Windsor. The newspaper men present
