Good Work Done by Seattle Athletic
Club Since Its Organization.
The Seattle Athletic Club since it organ
ization last September has made splendid
record for itself. 1t has rolled up men,
bership of $50, which is steadily increas-
ing at a rate which promises soon to place
it at the 200 mark. 1t has supplied
a long-felt want to tho young
men of the city by furnishing
them excellent advantages for physical
recreation. Although only in temporary
quarters the CLUB has an attractive suite of
apartments with billiard, card and read
ing rooms, in addition to a we'll -equipped
gymnasium. where there are regular
classes in athletics under the instruction
of q competent teacher. In about two
months the club expects to remove to its
tine new quarters at Front and Seneca
streets, which are now in the process of
construction.
Shortly after its formation the club gave
evidence of how healthy an infant it was
by the wonderful impetus it gave to inter-
collegiate football. The game was prac-
tically unknown here, but under the back
ing of the club its growth in popularity
was marvellous and the matches attracted
larger crowds than any athletic events
ever did before. During the winter the
interest of the club members has been kept
alive by active gymnasium work, with
weekly 'smokers." at which are given
athletic exhibitions for the entertainment
of club members and their friends. This
spring and summer the club proposes to
give active support to rowing. base
ball. cricket and all other outdoor
sports, and expects to make a
great event of It's field day.
At a recent meeting of the board Of gov
errors of the club it was decided to unite
with the Seattle Field Club in Q benefit
entertainment to be given at the Seattle
theater within the next few weeks. The
details of the performance have not yet
been decided upon. but the first half
will be a minstrel show which will
give an opportunity for the display of the
talent in this direction of some of the best
known young men in the city. The sec
ond part Will be an athletic programme
consisting of fencing, sparring, wrestling,
high jumping and kicking and other
branches.
