Yule Whist Club Banquet.

Luxury and mirth reigned supreme at
 Dicks hotel, Tuesday night, when the
 Yule whist club brought it's joyous seas-
 on to close with banquet furnished by
 the ''youths" of the club. There was a
 full attendance of the members present,
 besides number of guests, including Dr
 and Mrs w. H. Rider of Danbury. The
 festival was one of great enjoyment and
 will be long remembered by all who had
 the pleasure of participating in the af-
 fair. To complete their tournament of
 whist for the season, the members of the
 club, during the early part of the even-
 ing, took possession of the rooms recent
 ly occupied by the Clover club in the ho-
 tel annex. Here the members of the
 club were received and cordially, too,
 with the exception of those who had to
 kick the doors open, by the entertaining
 bachelors of the club. The evenings
 merriment opened when the scramble be- gan for the lovely fayors furnished by the lady members of the club. The ele- gant and artistic favors were a special feature of the evenings entertainment, the ladies eclipsing all their previous eff forts in this direction. The tournament being over, the members, armed with other mems wives and belles, repaired to the hotel, where they partook of the bounteous spread prepared for them by one of the Yule's "seven lone stars,'' Landlord Leonard. And Mir Leonard and his bachelor friends showed that they regarded all those wno worshipped at the Yulc's shrine equal to princes and furnished a banquet in accordance.
 The banquet table, arranged in the form of I and crowned with ornament al floral designs in profusion, presented q very imposing and inviting appearance. At each lady's plate stood handsome bouquet of Deutzia double roses and the gents shared their delights in this respect with a tasty, if not as elaborate bunch of lowers. The lofty center piece, decked with fruit and foliage and flowers, was yery pretty. On the wall at the head of he table, the name 'sYule club" stood in box.
