Chicago Determined Upon by the Howard
Club Executive Committee.
To THE Howard CLUB--The executive
committee has formally selected Chicago
as the place for the fifth annual reunion.
The time has not as yet been definitely
settled, but will be in the middle or latter
part OF August.
A committee. consisting OF the president.
How ard" and the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee. is now at work arrang-
ing the detail g. We have an option on a
large, new, well-buiit house in Chicago.
the terms of which will more fully appear
hereafter. This building is not tempo
rary building put up for use during the
worlds fair. but is large, commodious, well
ventilated, and is located but Two and one
half miles from the worlds fair and seven
miles from the business center of Chicago.
We will be- in one of the best resi-
dent portions OF the city. The build
ing has bathrooms, closets, kitchen. etc,
and will be taken care OF and looked after
by party from Putnam county, Indiana.
This party Is made no Of respectable psO-
pie, and everything will be done that is
possible in looking after baggage, etc.
The place is owned by GreencRstie parties
and was intended only to be used for q
Putnam county headquarters. during
the fair, but have arrangements WI h
them whereby l can get it at reasonable
figure for about two weeks during the
time OF the fair for our reunion.
We intend TO have a sort of family re-
union. ii possible; that is to saw, q lite
&,
now under way, should he perfected, we
will lie able to furnish our own table in
the same house. We have also large re-
ception room, which could be
used, in which 10 hold our sxer-
cises if no other suitable place can
be found. The cost to 1.-THE club for this
house. at first sight. appears TO be consid-
cradle, but after writing and having
parties ia Chicago look about for US, we
have found it to be very reasonable. In
order to get this elegant residence re-
served for us for two weeks We must de-
post $40. This amount will be placed 10
the credit of the members who advance
the money and will be credited or their
lodging in Chicago. However, ia case the
club should not desire 10 take the place,
after We have put up the forfeit. we csn
by the terms of the company have our
money refunded without any charge what
ever.
1t is very important that the executive
committee know in q very short time how
many are going to attend the reunion. in
order that We may complete our arrange
ments. We have Accommodations for forty
people. and il kept full all the
time. We can get along nicely at 81 per
day, including meals anu the club could
make a small profit. In addition We might
charge outside parties, VINO may be our
guests, 81. % and even $3.50 per day, and
also charge for baths which are free to
the club. Are there twenty-five members
who Will advance - in order to secure
Quarters? 1t is very important that We
have responses TO this ca | at a very early
date. as We sill be In very close quarters
for any conveniepces during the worlds
fair unless we act al once. The president
ch airman of the executive committee, and
Howard" will head the list. Who is
next? | would suggest that each mem Der
who lie going to attend the reunion would
see some person or persons OF good stand
ing in their community and invite them
to stay at our headquarters during their
stay in Chicago. In this man.
ner the club will take no
great rick in renting such house as the
one above named, even at a pretty still
figure, much less so at reasonable one.
The house is three stories high. has
