But Several Sporty Members Of the Bohemian
Club Who Rented II Got Away-They
Each Recsive Letter.

A breeZs has sprung up in tie Bohemian
Club. 1t may develop into a squat before
it is over if not tempered with the soothing
influence of about $500. The origin of it
dates many months back. The end Of it
may date many months forward.
Within the Bohemian Club is an element
that reaches far outside of Bohemia for its
delectatiOn. 1t numbers some 80 or 40.
These coHgenial spirits assem- bled together
one night last summer and organized club
within club. styled the '-Roseleaf Social.

aud Life-saying Association" Their in
spring genius was Charles R0llo Peters.
He led in all their pursuits and pastimes.
and his suggestion was the keynote for
action.
CHARLES RoLLo DELEGATED.
They delegated Charles RolIo to go to
Sausalto and charter the yacht Frolic,
owned by Commodore Harrison, and the
terms were effected, to the great satisfac-
ton of all, at 500 a month.
The yachting season slipped away almost
before they knew it, so delightful did il
prove. Indeed they quite overlooked the
fact in the midst of their enjoyment that
they We're getting all the fun while Commn-
dofe Harrison stood on the shore patiently
and serrow fully, wondering what the wild
waves were saying.
Charles Relic was very fond or yachting,
but toward the close of the season la de-
clded To experiment a while on a different
kind of sea, the shores and shoals and
storms and dangers of which were entirely
unknown To bin, but whose adyeuturesome
nature was just fascinating enough to lure
him on. He found him n trim little bark.
much more attractive than the Frolic and
launched bobby cut on the deep sea of mat
TimoDy. He went Immediately 10 Europe,
where he now is aud intends, at least for
some time, tn remain.
THE EosELEAF DROPPED.
The 'RoseIeaf' meanwhile has dropped.
Plucked of its life its color and spirit faded.
Now the sweet spirit OF peace hovers over
the environments Of Sausalto and pie
tuTesque Marin.
But Commodore Harrison does not seem
to appreciate the relief that his neighbour
hood aud fellow creatures enjoy. When the
''R0seleal' died the Frolic was fastened TO
its mo0rinss and the only relic that the
commodore found by which 10 remember
the fitful BohemIans WAS n four-spot, an
empty pop bottle and little round piece of
ivory about the size of half dollar. The
commodore ut hrSJ was inclined TO let 1t 90
al that. After thinking the matter over
awhile, however, he made up his mind that
that sort Of thing would not do. He would
have his 1926 or know the reason why.
So he sent his bill over to collecting
agency in this city, and 1t was put into the
hands of Ernest Il. Wakeman, attorncy-at-
law. 10 collect.
MR.. wAKEMAS SEEKS COUNSEL
Mr. Wakeman Thought it best to counsel
with some Of the members of the Rose
Leaf before taking serious steps to sea if a
court proceeding could not be avoided. He
sent for Joseph Redding. a fellow-atiorney
aud an active ''Roseleafte." with the result
that il was agreed To call upon the several
members TO pay their pro rata. Consr-
quently day or two ago the members OF
the Rnseieat each received n little nnte
from Mr. Nnkeman, stating that Comnlo-
dore Harrison had placed in his hands for
collection claim for S525. rent of the
Frolic for the yachting season of 1891: that
the boat WIS rented 10 Mr.. Peters as the
representative of the club, and the sum
mentioned was the unpaid balance OF rent
MIR. Redding, he added, had instructed him
to say that the members of the Koseleaf
could If so disposed call on him and pay
their share Of the debt If this was not
done he would be under the painful neces-
sity oil proceeding against them in court
AS they were not corporation he would
have to commence suit against each one in
divduaily.
