Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1892-12-22

indeed have n bright future. Its organi-
zation was effected Friday evening the
Wilmington Club, No. 1905 King
street. Immediately after the work of
organizing had been completed the
association gave its first annual dinner,

of Princeton and the songs and tiger Of
old Nassau. The attendance was large
and the occasion decidedly pleasant
