rs get made any report.

at eight o'clock. Members wishing to
purchase seats are requested to be on
hand early.
The Art Committee keeps the walls OF
the coy club house we'll filled with choice
works of art in paintings. engravings and
etchings.
There is no reason why the bowling
team of the wheeling division should not
be somewheres near The top notch when
the Wheelmen's League tournament
comes to q close. The members of the
team are all good bowlers and opposing
teams will have to hustle to beat them.
The Card Committees success is clearly
shown by the interest taken In this popu-
lar source of amusement, as attested by
the demand each evening of the week for
tables. The favorite game Is the decep-
tive Hearts"
The Camera Division has on foot an
evenings entertainment in a display of
the pictures taken by the members dur
ing the past season. which will be a novel
one, inasmuch as the acknowledged abil-
ity OF some of the members to produce
work of a superior character is a fact be-
You'd dispute.
Palma Club.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Palma CLUB was held last evening at the
clubhouse. Robert B. Carter was elected
trustee to fill the vacancy in the Board
occassioned by the resignation of William
f. Myers. Nine new members were cleo
ted and thrse designations were accepted.
Palma is out of the bowling tourna-
ment for this season at least. This de-
cision has been reached after careful con-
sideration by the Bowling Committee, and
the Board of Trustees has confirmed it.
The general Discrimination Of the members
to confirm to q schedule of games is
given as a ground for the decision.
Bowling, however, will not be neglected
at the club house. Friendly games have
beentarranged with. several of the other
athletic clubs of this vicinity and classes
will be organized among the members so
that later in the season a clue tourna-
meut will be played for valuable prizes.
The billiard and pool tables will be
fixed up and thoroughly o~verhauled dur
ing the present month, so that a series of

There will be another stag two weeks
from today. Billy Fields. the Chairman
of the Entertainment Committee. says
this will be q great stag. and those who
attended the last stag know what the
committee can do in that line.
The University lecture course, which
was described aJ length in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS recently, mas been organized
and the first lecture will be delivered on
December in the gymnasium
by Prof. Robert w. Prenti5s.
The subject will be astronomy aud al
though many of the boys have seen more
stars on Il dark night thar the Professor
has. there is no doubt that the lecture
will be entertaining and instructive. The
first course of six lectures on miscellane-
Gus subjects will be followed by mother
course of six lectures on Eighteenth Gen.
fury English Literature.
The Democratic Society,
The Hudson Democratic Society has
achieved a reputation during the late
campaign which is making it famous
throughout the State. The reception
which it gave TO Mr.. Cleveland after his
speech in OAKLAND Rink last Friday night
was admirably managed aud a pro-
nouuced success. The handling of the
immense crowd which passed through
the hall and shook hands with the Presi-
dent and Governor Werts was also an ex-
cellent piece of WORK. Mr.. Cleveland,
himself, before leaving expressed his
hearty satisfaction at the manner in
which the society conducted the recep-
tion and declared that 1t was one of the
most pleasurable occasions of the kind he
had ever attended.
Another episode which has won the So
ciety much praise was it's graceful act in
inviting the Members of the Union
League to visit the society's clubhouse
Thursday evening and view the march
ing hosts of triumphant Democracy. 1t
Is always a good rule never to let a po-
Htical difference make Il personal one, aud
there is no reason why the two great
clubs should not only be residents Of the
same block but %neigbbors in the true
sense of The word and feel free to visit
each other socially.
There is considerable talk in the club of
getting up a large delegation to visit
Washington and witness the inaugura-
ton of Grover Cleveland.
Everybody speaks of John McMaster
now as Private Secretary McMaster aad
everyone who has business at the Gov
ernor's office Is well pleased with the
prospect of having such a good fellow as
John succeed the popular Lon Albeit.
Carteret Club.
The Carteret.. Club has about it an air
of desolation that is in~describable. The
usually jolly Republican members have
nothing to say. They seek quiet corners
bury themselves in light literature of
every description. The Democratic mem
bers are having a good time. Nothing
in the club house is too good for them,
aud their political opponents are footing
all the bills.
This evening there will be a stag at the
club honse. Some excellent talent has
been engaged and a jolly time is antiei-
