Tuesday evening next the first enter
tainment will be held, commencing at
9o'eloek. The affair is intended as an
informal opening and the programme
will be an attractive one. The social
features have all been attended to. and
aside from the music that will be in at
tendance, there promise to be other ar
rangements which will make the affair
we'll worth attending. The champion
Oarsmen, who have been rowing at Du-
luth, will be present, and will add to
the social features of the evening. Men,
bers will also have splendid OppOr-
tunity to see boxing contest between
Harry Webber and Jimmy Griffin. Web
Der will be remembered as the young
man who gave Needham such hard
tusSle some years ago, and Griffin made
quite reputation for himself while out
at the coast. The young men are both
quite scientific, and will no doubt give
a pretty exhibition for the valuable
trophy which the club will give to the
winner Already letters are being re-
ceived from out of town from people
wishing to join, and the new venture is
bound to be success.
When the club house is entirely COM
pleted the directors intend to give a
formal opening that will be great af
fair in it's way. In all probability
supper will be given, using the gym
nasium for the purpose, and several
hundred people could be seated with
out any trouble. Other features will
be arranged as soon as practicable,
among which are wrestling matches. a
billiard match and contests of all de-
ScriptiOnS.
The unusual cheapness of the affair
is what recommends it more than any,
thing else. The membership fee was
placed at but $40, and the dues at only
$3.50 per month. This pays for all the
privileges, including baths and instruc
ton in athletics from Prof. John Don
aldson, who has been secured by the
club as manager of athletics. Mr.. Don
aldson is we'll known. not only in Mill
neapolis, but throughout the country,
and the club has great confidence in his
ability. He will undoubtedly have
large class as soon as the athletic feat
ures are started. 1t is probable that
there will be quite crowd Tuesday
evening, and it is hoped that all will
come before Tuesday and get their
membership tickets. AS for the club
itself. the success of the venture is be-
YOnd doubt.

A BRACE OF DIVORCES.
The Matrimonial Infelicity CaIen
dar Growing Lighter.

The Matrimonial Infelicity CaIen-
dar Growing Lighter.
Judge Smith was on the bench at the
district court yesterday, and dealt out
large packages of qualification to the
remorseless wives who assembled be-
fore the dignified tribunal wherein JUS
tice is served on silver salvers. 1t was
not very heavy day for divorces, and
the petitions that are coming before the
district court asking for divorces are
getting considerably less than they
were year or so ago. There is per-
ceptable change-for the better.
The first case to come up was that of
Mary Karizek VS.. August KariZek.
These people live on farm near town
and up to few months ago have re-
sided together there. They were mar
Iied Oct. 20, 1873, and have two children.
The woman is So years old and the huS-
band II. 1t seems that August was
drinking little too much now and then,
and occasionally chased his wife and
hired girl with gun, and soaring them
in other ways. Judge Smith granted
the divorce, and the mother Will take
care of the children.
The next case was that of Margaret
Mclean versus her husband. Joseph
Mclean. Mrs. Mclean said that she
was 80 years of age, and was married to
her husband in Iowa in 1880. He is a
paperhanger by trade. She tells sad
and pitiful tale of the experiences to
which she has submitted for the sake of
her three little children for the past five
years. Her husband, she says, has
been habitually drunk, and when he
ut Idrhf
deadly poison which SO brutaliZes all
human instinct. he would slap and beat
his children and abuse his wife. He
also refused to clothe the little ones.
which necessitated her pawning her
family heirlooms for that purpose. All
the available property was turned into
whisky by the drunken husband. 1t
was a sad tale, and Judge Smith did not
hesitate to grant divorce.

BLAISDELL AND COLON.

Further Happenings. of Interest
in Connection With Their Cases.
1t seems inevitable now that John L.
Blaisdell and J. Frank COLON will pose
once more before the public, not in GRIM
inal matters, but in lien matter, and all
on account of Mr.. Collom'S faStidiouS-
ness in building his superb residence.
The two liens that were granted to'J.
FL. Britton and the Drake company day
before yesterday will be followed by
John I. Blaisdel's interest.
A motion will soon be made to the
court asking that new complaints be
drawn by these claimants and that GER
tain irregularities be corrected. Attor
ney Frank w. Brooks, OF Brooks &
Hendricks, was at the court house yes
terday looking over the decision prepar-
atory to an appeal. Mr.. Blaisdell's in
terest grows out of his executing con-
tract pc Knitting Mr.. COLON to build the
house at a cost of not less than S25, 900.

came up to me and wanted to know if l
intended to put the horse on the track.
l managed to get away from him, and
then l gave the young man $50 to fix it.
In little while he came back to me
and introduced man who said he was
the owner of the horse, and he prom
ised that it would be all right, and then
the owner informed the newspaper
men that he had repurchased the horse
from me, giving me $500 for my bar
gain. The tout said he was going to
buy short horse. l didn't want to buy
any more horses, but went with him.
and he paid man $40 for little ticket
which he said represented the short
horse. When the horses came out on
the track, the one on which my friend
held the ticket was pointed out to me.
Instead of being short horse, he was
the longest animal III the lot. But 1
didn't want to show my ignorance. and
so kept quiet. The horse won The
race, and the young man gave his ticket
to the pool seller who gave him $40 for
it. 1t looked like an easy way of max
ing money, and besides it was exciting;

THE BREWERS UNION.
Some of the Plans for New Build
in0S.

1t is stated that the new brewers
union has determined to erect large
combination brewery, on line with the
proposition of the Orth people. The
building is to be placed on Thirteenth
avenue and Marshall streets. the por-
ton of the plant now occupying the
East side being removed after the new
brewery is IN operation, while the prop
erty will be turned into building lots.
upon which dwellings are to be erected
for the accommodation of the employees.
The union expects to increase the
capacity of other breweries in the asso-
citation, and the Improvements are
planned to begin about the same time
as those on the Orth plant are taken in
hand. The aggregate increase of out
put will amount to fully $4,000 barrels,
representing all advance ing net profits
of fully $4,000. allowing for the extra
expense incurred by the materials made
necessary by the change. All the local
firms say their business has been larger
during June and this portion of July
than for any previous months since
their establishment, and that this per-
ceptible advance made extensions an
absolute necessity.

description. In the boating line, too,
the Liirlines have proved that Mime
apolis is entitled to recognition on the
water, and in all sorts of athletic games
Minneapolis has ever and will always
be prepared to come to the front.
Foa many years Minneapolis was
without q club of any sort that made
general athletics a predominant feature,
but after time the Minneapolis Ath-
letic association was organized and
gymnasium fitted up. The club did
very we'll in its way, but it was gener-
ally conceded that the club quarters
were hardly elegant enough to repre-
sent minneapolis before the world, and
several efforts were make at different
times to organize club that would DE
worthy of the city it, represented.
Finally. few gentlemen who nave
been foremost in local athletics Tor
some time got together and organized
the Twin City Athletic club. So many
fafIifres had been made in organizing
clubs ofithe same sort. that the public
was at firstadittle slow in coming to
the front, butafter weeks time some
eighty members had been secured, and
it was intended to lease the Russell
block. on fifth street, for club house.
This idea was. finally abandoned, and 1T
was proposed that the club rooms in the
Harris theater be leased, After long
deliberations this idea was finally aban-
do1ed in favor of one considerably
more feasible.
The large club house, 500 Hennepinl
Avenue, between the West hotel and
Masonic temple, was based for period
of years, and a mammoth gymnasium
hall planned for, on the vacant space
behind the club building. Work was
commenced about July II, and by the
last of the month the whole office will
be ready for use. When completed, the
club will have splendid club house OF
twenty rooms, with every convenience
for social purposes. aside from the gym
nasium hall, which is siXtyeight by
eighty feet, with seven-fOOt gallery
running around its four sides. On this

me that my horse had no chance of win
ming the race, but he was liable to come
in second, and if he did /
would win $40. Then 1 had an
interest in that horse and
the little black fellow on his back. Off
went the horses. They kelt we'll to-

could have done 1t. too. and then to have

Work is rapidly progressing OH the
various electric lines. That on Wash
ington avenue has been completed to
the Single Creek district. with the ex-
ception of short distance, where work
is prevented by the laying of sewer.
The Twentieth avenue north line has
been laid up to Crystal Lake avenue.
The Western avenue line is completed
out to Penn avenue. The Minnehaha
avenue line is also laid out to Lake

and are in readiness for the rolling

bridging and other improvements at
the crossings are completed by the
Great Northern and Minneapolis & st.

ports to that effect, the street railway
company will not put in temporary
bridge on Washington avenue north, in
view of the fact that the permanent
structure will be put in at no late day
by the two corporations above named.

The Scandinavian Reformers.

The Scandinavian Reform league held
a meeting at Cullom's hall, corner of
Lake street and Cedar avenue. The at
tendance was large, although but short
notice had been given. Professor Ney-
wal, of the Swedish Mission Tabernacle,
gave an address in the Swedish Ian
guage upon the subject of monopoly and
trusts as affecting the rights of citizens,
rather than as political question. He
was followed by Mr.. Peterson with an
address on temperance, delivered iii the
Norwegian language, and both were re-
ceived with close attention by all pres
ent. 1t was supposed that the meeting
would take some ction upon the nomi-
nations made by lae Republican state
convention, but gentlemen prominent
in the league insist that it issin no sense
political organization, and representa-
tives of all parties are admitted as mem-
bers. Its object is to discuss subjects of
interest to all classes of citizens.
