CHESS AND WHIST cLUR
The first meeting of the Chess and Whist
Ciab. lately organized in this city. was held
on Wednesday evening. This Is certainly
good organization for the men OF this
city, although, Of course. many will prob
ably spend moro evenings In these diver
sions, away from their families, than would
be desired; still. most Of the members are
unmarried. and now they possess pleas
ant and settled way of enjoying an other
wise idle evening. The limit TO member
ship will be 100. and there certainly will be
no trouble in finding double that number
who would be too glad to join. Several
games OF chess were in progress on We'd
nesday evening. which were the beginning
OF series to be carried on through the
winter. After these games were finished,
Mr. Lee, manager Of the Tacoma hotel. in
vited nine or ten of his friends to share .
modest collation. with him at the hotel,
which invitation was eagerly accepted by
the young men. Among those invited
were w. l. Landell, Mr.. II. s. Nissan, Mr..
c. f. Major, Mr.. William Bull, Mr.. Paul
Morris and several others
