At the end of the dining room booth had
been formed of a net work of smllax and
flowers, from which delicacies were dis
pensed.
OPENED IN THE RAIN.
The house was opened at o'clock. The
rain was falling steadily when Captain
Silvis and two policemen took their places
in front of the entrance and began the Open
ing of carriage doors. The arrivals began
promptly, and with interruption, the car
riages drove up in line from to 10 o'clock.
There were in all 230. The carriage man.
agement by the Captain was beyond criti-
cism. An usher with capacious umbrella
conducted the ladies to the door.
In the main hallway, at the door, the
guests received hearty handshake and warm
welcome from the Reception Committee
having charge of the evenings affairs.

Donnell, II. S. A. Stewart, Charles L. Cole,
William Metcalf, John Walker, John w.
Chalfant, William J. Lewis and A. F.
Keating. The visitors were shown to the
elevator and carried to the upper floor,
where coats and wraps were left From that
point they walked down stairs, looking
through the rooms on the several floors,
meeting and chatting with friends, admir-
ing the tasteful fnishings and splendid
furnishings Of the brilliantly lighted apart
ments.
NO DANCING.
Music was rendered by Toerge's Orchestra,
whose members were placed on third floor
balcony overlooking the dancing hall on the
second floor. Though they played sweetly
during all the evening, there was no dane
ing. The guests were apparently too busy
in social conversation to dance.

AFINE DINING ROOM.

The dining room was very attractive with
its oval table in the center and the many
smaller well-furnished tables about the
room. The center table was a triumph of
the florists art 1t was decorated with
charming comingling of ferns and graceful
palms, from which were suspended orchids
of ali hues and forms only rivaled by the
beauty of the radiant Madam Lang and
American Beauty roses arranged at the base.
The entire group was fringed with maiden
hair ferns in lace-like design,

for those who took part in the affair, but ap-
psrently 3Id not affect the attendance.
The clubhouse, which had been opened to
members on January !, was last evening
well prepared for the reception. The entire
building, from first floor to fifth, was thrown
open to the guests. The members did not
have even a smol1ing-room left where they
conld take Whit of their cigars during the
evening.
Uader the supervision of Messrs. A. NJ.
and J. B. Murdoch, the beautiful in
terror of the handsome clubhouse was
greatly enhanced by the use OF choice flow
ers and rare exotic plants. In the long
hallway of the main entrance handsome
plants were SO grouped as TO admit of easy
access and at the same time almost screen
the guests from the gaze of people passing
on the sidewalk. Groups of palms greeted
the visitor at every turn OF the stairways,
The ballroom on the second floor was such q
poem in ivory. white and gold that it was
left unadorned.
Exquisite vases containing the finest
specimens of the palm family were placed in
the windows of all the rooms, while artistic
ally arranged groups of foliage plants
grsced the several landings of the magnif-
cent main staircase

be expected.
The yearling stake race has already
10 entries; the 2-year-Old stake, s en-
entries; the 4-year-old, entries and
the three-minute class entries. The
entries are from all parts of the state

fame of Abilene's unrivaled track has
gone abroad.
The association has concluded to
make the $50 trottiug class purse
race of $500, the entries to close at the
same time as other purse races, August
18th, and to be governed by the same
conditions as other purse races, and to
reopen the 3-year-old trotting stake,
with $50 entrance, association to add
$50, entries to close August Isl.
Every possible aid should be ex-
tended locally to the association and
