The Salmagundi Club Is now at No. 40 West twenty

This change has also been decidedly for the better.

The Colonial Club has had moro or less compete
possession of It's new home all the last week. ana the
effect of the change Is in the unparalleled air oi
life and activity in the club. The billiard room Is
already patronized far more than 1t was IN 'he oo
house. and members who formerly never went 10 the
club once in three months now visit II frequently n
handsome increase in receipts is noticeable. LaS

An opposition ticket has been posted at the Colonial
Club The regular one had on 1t these names: For
president David 5. Brown first vice president william
T. Evans second vice president. William Taylor; third
vice-president, w. H. b. Totem, treasurer Charles W.
Drake secretary j. V. V. Ocot; trustees, class Of 03,
Charles II. Wills, George II. Chatterton. William ii.
McCord, ]. V. V. Olcott and Mr.. Taft The opposition
list Is this For president, Edward W. scott; first
president, James A. Punderfod second vicepresi
dent, Frederick NJ. Lttleheh; third vice-president,
William T.. Sger: treasurer, Charles W. Drake, ana
secretary J. " V. Olcott. Messrs. Wills and Olcott
ore on both tickets for trustees, and John A.. Mccall
and James A. Punderford Others on the opposition
ticket. The only objection TO Mr.. Brown Is that he
has president for three years. ever since the club
was founded. There is in every club desire for
change, and this feeling led TO the nomination OF Mr.
Scott Under Mr.. Browns management the club has
grown with great iapdiIy and has built fine club
house. No words heard concerning Mr.. Brown
except those of praise. Mr.. Drake, most competent
Official is rcnominated for treasurer by both sides, and
MIR. Olcott also the choice OF all for secretary. lie

TO Alfred p W. Seaman, the efficient incumbent. The
election takes place tomorrow evening
The site committee of the Union Club will rest on its

way we would lease site for say $25 900 q year.
We could borrow S25O,OOO from the owner OF the
land our club property Is worth S400 600, and the
committee would put up 100000. This would make
S750,OOc for a house and the members Of the club

for another year. one objection TO them was the
price, but satisfactory terms arranged with the
landlord. some of the members desired ut time
to make regular club OF the society," but the
tonty felt that 1t could hardly command sufficient
support, the field which 1t occupies being limited
Had the place uptown been gwen up the society
would have taken two three rooms downtown,
which would have been kept open every day. These
would have made fine headquarters for visitors from
Ohio and would have been used than the present
quarters. At the time The society has been
