THE cHIIF GATHERING POINT.
The sitting room in the rear the largest in
the house. was the chief gathering point during
the evening for II was there that the dis
tiuguished guest stood the members and
their friends were introduced to him. The
large piazza. which opens from this room and
which was such popular place during the sum |
mer, was lat evening boarded IN and tastefully !
hung with oriental rugs. and here was stationed I
n large orchestra that played throughout the /
reception. The guests entered the 18th street /
door on the ground floor. where the large |
billiard room had for the time being been |
turned into n coat room. Ascending the stairs |
% the main floor they were ushered into the |
reception room. Here they presented TO |

Justice ShirRs. and afterward pleasant hour |
spent in conversation. At 10 o'clock the
doors leading into the dining room were |
thrown open and a supper was served that re- |
nected credit upon the chef of the club well /
a. the cellars. for in addition to the handsome |
collation. there abundance of cham |
payne and other such features. After supper |
cigars we're lighted and the remainder Of the |
evening was spent III an informal and delight !
ful way.
Ia would be difficult to imagine a more repre-
sentative gathering than hono-ed the first
reception OF the University Club. Successful
men from all walks OF life were present, though |
naturally the legal profession the best rep
resented. All were enthusiastic over the |
success OF the clubs first venture in this line that
II !. more than likely il will be repeated in the
near future. IL gave TO many insight into the
character and resources of this young and
growing organization that they had not had
before and that will probably lead TO decided
increase in the number Of applicants for mem
bership.
