SOCIAL MATTERS.
Ladies' Day at the C. A. C.-Weddings and
Personal Notes.

Yesterday was ''ladies' day" at the Column
bia Athletic Club. There was everything to
delight the feminine sense-music, flowers and
men, especially men who are always favorltes
in polite society and who only heaped more
laurels ON their brows by their efforts to make
their lady friends entirely ut home in the at
tractive surroundings OF the club. There were
handsome palms and great punches of chrys-
anthemums decking the big house from the
very door to the gymnasium. Many ghosts
came and went all during the early afternoon
hours and the time was spent very agreeably In
going over the building under the escort Of
members of the reception committee. This
smiling group of gentlemen were distinguished
from other members of the club by wearing
neat white ribbon badge held In their button
holes by white chrysanthemum. While some Of
the ladies bowled away to their hearts content
in the alleys down stairs the green tables in the
billiard room were always surrounded by some
experts in handling the cue, but generally nov
ices only too well pleased to have q gallant
young elubman very close to their elbow to
teach them how to make the white balls chase
each other over the CLOTH There were a couple
of jolly hours put in quite easily before every
body was invited to the gymnasium to witness
the interesting program arranged there for the
special delectation of the ladies. All the space
on the gymnasium floor as well as the galleries
was filed 1t was an audience calculated to
make man do his very best and it goes with

n. M ha fyi,1 rtp a
Mr.. Robt. Elder gave spirited exhibition with
the gloves, which would have been entirely
thrilling If the contestants had assumed q
desperate and bloodthirsty expression instead
of the smiling and oftentimes laughing coun-
tenances with which they met the exchange of
hard taps.
