DEATH OF THE PELICAN.

Something About q Lately Famous English
Club-Members Gathered From Every
Circle-Deadbeats Hobnobbing With the
Gentry and Sports of Ali Kinds.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH1
LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Pelican Club,
that has just succumed, probably possessed
the most heterogeneous membership of any
club in the world. There were members
whose incomes were in the hundreds Of
thousands, and members who slept on the
club sofas at night in default of any other
resting place and sponged on the club for
victuals and drink. There were dukes and
earls and lords galore, and blackmailing
journalists, music hall singers, and Strand
restaurant keeper.
There were members whose checks for 81
were invariably dishonored, and members
who could write checks in six or seven
figures that would be accepted without ques-
tion in any bank in England. There were
members who went to court and were on in
innate terms at Marlborough House, and
members who would be kicked out of the
kitchen of any respectable cabman. Any
young spendthrift in the bankruptcy court
was sure to turn out to be a member of the
Pelican, as were half the correspondents in
the divorce courts, and the membership also
included all the best gentlemen sports in
England.
Perhaps the Pelican was the only West
End club in London where an exhilarated
member who mashed the furniture and the
windows was not brought before the COM
mittee, or where no attention was attracted
if gentlemen who had finished their supper
and wished to play game of dominoes to
see " ho paid for it cleared their table of
its dishes and cloth by the simple expedient
of tipping it on end.
This heterogeneous membership was
natural enough, the result of its origin.
1t began with the getting together weekly
of a few devotees of boxing for little quiet
sport, and only became social
club when the present fine new
house was built. 1t was impossible
when the club grew, and there was rush of
gentlemen for membership, to kick out the
Objectionable ones who were already men,
bers, and hence the conditions that existed.
However, although the Pelican remained
primarily boxing club until its demise, no
prize fighters were ever admitted to men,
bership.
The demise of the Pelican makes the
National Sporting Club, where Slavin and
Jackson are expected to fight this year, the
leading organization of the kind in England.
Its membership is growing rapidly, and in
cludes great many Americans. There are
Knockout fights every Monday night at the
new club, which are largely attended by the
nobility and gentry of England.

LONDON, Jan. 16-Henry Rosenfeld, the
young American, whose heavy plays and
large winnings have been the sensation of
the week at Monte Carlo, is an extrsordin-
ary character. His home is in Chicago,
where his brother is a well-known business
man, and he is one of the heirs of Michael
Reece, the famous ten millionaire, of San
Francisco. Rosenfeld attained his majority
and his fortune about four years ago. Since
that time Chicago has seen him three times,
| his longest visit being of ten days duration,
and on each occasion he arrived from the
west and left to the eastward, having 5een
each time around the world.
He varied the monotony of his trip last
year by buying an interest in the Cleary
London Opera Company that left here in
July to make tour around the east and
west coast of South America, and accom-
panied that organization for the fun of the
thing He forsook the opera company in
the Argentine Republic, however, and went
on to Chile TO see the war, but arrived in
Valparaiso the day hostilities ceased He
got back to London about three months
ago, and left for Paris and Monte Carlo
soon afterward. He is now en- route for
Egypt and Japan and thence to San Fran
cisco, Chicago, New York and London once

slight, does not look to be q years of age.
but he is considered one of the coolest
gamesters in Europe, either with cards or
at the roulette table. Last year he was
one of the four players at Monte Carlo who
put down the maximum at the same table
at every turn of the wheel, and gave the
bank bad scare. He left Monte Carlo
loser by $50 900, however. To-day he is re-
ported to be between $4,000 and S1OO, 1000
ahead of the game.
Although Rosenfeld spends three or four
months each year in LonLon, where he
keeps apartments the year around, and a
month or two each year in Paris. he has
never been inside Westminster Abbey or
the Tower, or picture gallery, nor visited
the Pantheon, Notre Dane, the palaces. or
any other places of historic interest. 1t is
doubtful, even, if he ever thought to in
quire who was premier OF England or Presi-
dent of France. On the other hand he
knows where to find the best cooks and the
rarest wines in every European and great
many Oriental capitals, and possesses ex-
pert knowledge concerning the places that
are open all night in the principal cities of
the world

them his own opinions with regard to

He sent for the jury at once, and stat

intimated how the case ought to be de-

was standing out against the other
eleven. He proceeded to rebuke the
juror sharply. The obstinate juror was

of which his father, Rev. Gideon Shep-
ard, was afterward editor for eight years.
He progressed so rapidly that he became
foreman of the office before his appren-

came manager of the Belleville Intelli-
gencer company. In 1881 he took charge
of the Toronto Mails job printing de-
