rumor that he has come specially TO America

The Olympic Club, properly speaking,
has membership of fully 1900 young and

scented in the clubs gymnasium during box
Ing nights and ladies' nights.
The club has added the word athletic"
TO its name, which title some OF the most
prominent members are of the opinion
should never have been attached, as the
majority of the members are more inclined
TO support sOcials than anything touching
upon athletics, therefore it is suggested that
the word athletic" be removed and the
word Social be substituted.

contestants were, with one or two exeep-
