latirels. The Revenue Committee am
nounccs that on the evenings of May Is
and 10 the club will give minstrel en-
tertAinment with a special matinee for
the little oae5 on the afternoon of May
16. At these performances the committee
promises to Introduce some special Eea-
lures entirely new and novel In the min
streI life. The club will also present In
November Gilbert and Suiliyau's latest
comic opera, ssThe Gondoliers." The
opera company OF the club will present

HThe Home OF Amateur OPERA in this
city.
The membership Of the club at this
writing numbers 4S0. AT the last meet
ing OF the club nine members were elected

fresh impetus to the gymnasium class.
New members have joined aud some ex-
celent material has come in. Tue class
has an excellent instructor in Prof. Grail,
and every one who enters the class can do
so with the full assurance that he will re-
ceive the best instructions possible. The
exhibition the other evening netJed the
committee a good sum.
Mr.. c. A. Bowly, chairman Of the card
committee, says that his committee will
shortly give a progressive euchre party.
and invites the mem bers to subscribe to
the scheme. The Jersy City's do not feel
very comfortable over their double de
feat ut the hands of the Carterets, and
they propose to have their revenge before
the season is over.
The current number OF The Outlook is
admirable, and is one Of the best club
periodicals in the country. It's articles
are well written and (who threw that
brick show considerable wisdom in their
selection.
The regular monthly meeting of the
club will be held tomorrow afternoon.
Ladies will be admitted to the club house
by ticket only, and in the evening the
gymnasium club will meet. Thursday
afternoon the ladies will be admitted
again, and Prof. Grail will again put his

THE PALMA CLUB.

The House COMMITTEES under the chair
manship OF Fred Wolbert has had 8 new
roof put upon the house of the Palma
Club. 1t is of the best tin procurable,
but whether 1t is tin produced in this
country under the monopoly fostering in
huences of the Mckinley bill. the COM
Tnittee will not state, saying the club is u
non-politieal organization aud all politics
are taboed.
Nevertheless when Fred Wolbert runs
for Freebooter in tue First district the
boys will get out and hustle for him in a
manner tnat will make his opponent ex-
ceedingly i'll.
The Palma boys did more than their
share to make the recent performances of
''Iolanthe" at the Academy of Music the
success 1T was. They purchased a large
number of seats, and at each performance
they gave the players that encourage
ment which spurred them on to excel
lence.
The riding club closed the season yes
terday in stvle. In the afternoon they
rode out to Riverside, and notwIthstant-
ing the high wind they got back without
any serious accident. True Ben Downer
was almost blown from his horse while
near the Palisades, and John Kellar's
strap slipped just after leaving Gutten-
berg. Both were saved from serious harm,
and when they reached Naegelis', Hobo
ken, on the return trip, all were in good
shape ana appetite. The dinner that fol-
lowed was excellent and heartily enjoyed
by the daring horsemen.
The handicap bowling tournament will
close Thursday evening. The affair is
getting close, and there is much excite
ment among members over the result.
AS it becomes too warm TO bowl the
boys turn their attention to pool. aud the
club is developing some excellent pool

the Palmas won in the Herald tourna-
Inent is attracting much attention in the

TIE FEDERAL cLUR.

Already the approaching dull season
has penetrated the Federal Club. The few
warm spring evenings during the past
week drew from the club house many OF
its most faithful devotees, and from now
until fall life at the club wiz be at the
best dull, aud seldom will the voices OF
the Glee Club be heard throughout the
trees on Willow Court. As The NEWS
published last Sunday. the club house
will be practically closed until fall.
President Charles Laws has recovered
from the grip. but he has lost his active
energy in stirring the boys up and making
life lively.
AS gentle reminder. cannot some OF
the fellows at the club persuade the
steward to hide his pipe eveningsP
The rumor that Messrs Woolley and
Klein are practicing q clog dance to be
performed at the next stag" Is nodestly
denied.
II Captain Laws would make hay
makers of the Totfey Guard long enough
to put the lawn in a proper condition,
the club would be under lasting obliga-
tions TO him.
A large number of down town Repub.
licans have expressed their intention of

that it is the only paper in the county
