Jolly Juniors Joined in most hearty
houSewarming last evening at their new
nall. The members turned out in larger
numbers than ever before in anticipa-
ton of general good time, and their
expectations were met in the fullest
sense. There were recitations and piano
solos, and the Twin City Man dolin club
lnterspersed sweet music between the
bursts of rhetoric and speechmaking
that were jndulged in by the members
Not only was the meeting inter-
esting socially, but from a business
standpoint of view it was a cork
er. New faces were seen at this
meeting that have not lent their aid by
presence for many months. The meet
was opened by President Starkey, and
after the calling of the roll and reading
of the minutes of the previous meeting
the following applications for member
ship were read: Fred ZolIman. W. A.
Blackman, Thomas F. Birmingham,
Dennis Carr and George Ii. Stable.
Those were declared members: Her
mann G. Pfeitfer, Jacob RokstrOh, Frank
Haskell and Christ Freylinger. Then
came the report Of the standing COM
mittees, the first one being on hall and
entertainment. After the committee
had made its statement regarding the
terms and time for which the hall could
be secured from the Elks, everybody
took hand in trying to give the COM
mittee pointers as to what they should
have done, but after considerable par
liamentary discussion indulged i'll by
Messrs. Shanley, Eagan, POttgeiSer and
others 1hQ nnmfpittpn
full power to contract a
lease with the Elks for such
time as they saw fit. Before pro-
ceeding 10 digest the remainder of the
report, with regard to the excursion,
Z. b. Stanley moved to hear from the
special committee which he saw seated
before him, and after hearing their
sweet music the members would be
able to reach better conclusions. The
Twin City Mandolin and Banjo club,
composed of John Beck. w. RoSsberg,
entertained the association with three
or four beautiful selections. The
balance of the report. relating to the
picnic. was then taken up and some
very humorous and laughable points
scored. The chairman of the commit
tee, Mic Pottgieser. stated that the com
mittee had decided 10 have the eXcur-
sion at the same place and under the
same auspices as last year. c. B. ShaD-
ley in a neat speech favored White
Bear. Many others wanted an extend
ed trip. Stanley claimed that White
Bear had all the facilities Minnetonka
had; Pottgeiser stated that twice the
ride could be had, twice the size
body of water could be seen, and
twice the size of steamboat could be Sc
cured at Minnetonka. Stanley claimed
that he didn't care for the ride. The
happiest picnic he ever attended was
one many years ago when he walked
from st. Paul to the Como of the North,
and for that matter there were many
young men in the association who, if
might walk to White Bear. Pottgieser
said: You certainly never were
at Minnetonka where everything is so
nice and green. Why. just come
there this time and you will surely think
you are in Ireland" To say this |
brought down the house is too mild. and
10 restore order the president introduced !
Charles PottgieSer, who rendered the
following piano solos very effectively: |
Spring Song" Mendelssohn; Nor
wegian Deutz," Greg; "Impromptu,"
Chopin; ''Polonaise," Chopin.

reported back with the recommends |
ton that it be not accepted. as it was un- |
dersto0d that only German societies |
were to take part, but that the secretary |
be instructed to return thanks to the |

Juniors being the only outside society |
that had been invited. and, if they ac- |
cepted, they would have to attend all |

heard, and introduced Fred Barnay |

light and side-splitting laughter of the
members. On ali encore he presented |

hold sort of open session, during which |

and chat for some time.
