 Launch of a TowbOat-A Dog In- l jured.
 During the last quarter St. Ignatius T. A. and B. society has set aside about $700 (which includes the profits from the fair) for it's building fund. The society has not decided where the new building will be erected. If the present club house on Ferry street is purchased the society will prob ably erect a two-story frame building for a meeting hall and gymnasium just at one side. Such building could be erected for about 8, 900. The club house would still be used for parlors, reading and card rooms. As the house stands several hum dred feet back from the street the society could ultimately build in front. But as yet the society has not decided about a site, although there is prospect of erect ing a new building this year. About the middle of July the society will give g steamboat excursion.

At the end of the crafts bowsprit is fastened an iron framework used by spearmen when the skipper goes on a swordfish hunt. The sloop's skipper told interesting yarns of his experiences in catching swordish and all who heard were doubtless made aware that this sort of fishing is pretty exciting.
