THE CARTERET CLUB.

The report OF the Carteret Club, which
was read at the last meeting of the club,
shows that the association is in flourish
ing condition. There Is a handsome bal
Hnce In the treasury and It's financial con-
dition is most satisfactory.
There is much rejoicing among the
members OF the club. especially the
younger men, over the pro liability that
the club will soon have bowling alley.
The prospect of getting up team to
represent the club in the bowling tourna-
ment meets with great deal of approval
by young and old members alike. There
Is conservative element In the society.
however, which does not look fav orably
upcn the proposed innovation, but it is
thoughtthat that opposition will not be
strong enough TO keep the alley out of
the clubhouse.
There is prospect that a novel inter-
club contest will take place in the Car
teret club house before long. The Jersey
City Athletic Clue has challenged the
Carteret to a whist tournament and the
challenge will be accepted.

Office since the organization Of the club,
for the sacrifices Of time be has spent in
It's interests. and the liberality and zeal he

that health and prosperity may attend
him in all the varied walks OF life.
The resolution is. signed by vice-Presi-

The one topic of conversation at the
society's rooms since Thursday night is
the great manner in which Mr. Otto
Grouse loomed up at the dinner Of the Bar
Association. They wonder where Otto
got his great fund of humor. DR. Cor
don, from medical point OF view, de-
ciares that it is the appollinaris that Otto
invariably drinks when at the club
house.
There are several excellent cues among
the members OF the society and there Is
some talk of team being formed to take
some of the couceit out Of the Palma
