The fourishing condition Of the Union League
Club is extremely gratifying to the members.
The latest Indication Of the solid basis OF the
club is the addition that it is having built to the
large brown stone building on York street,
which it occupies. Adjoining the building is a
vacant lot, which the club possesses. and on it is
to be erected a onestory frame building with an
iron front. This annex. when completed will
form a part of the main building. 1t will be
twenty five feet wide and fifty feet deep, and
will contain a smoking aud sitting room, a buff
fet, and a passageway to a cloak room, which
will open on the dining room. There will also
be two sleeping rooms for servants at the rear
Of the addition. The main building will be
thoroughly overhauled and refurnished when
the annex is completed. The cost of the addition
will not be less than 81, 800, and may be consid-
erably more before completed. The additional
room which the new building win give the club
has long been needed because Of the constantly
increasing membership.
At the meeting Tuesday night, the Union
League Club admitted half q dozen new mem
bers.
A stag will be given by the Union League Club
next Thursday, and a programme will be ar
ranged that W i'll equal any of the past successful
efforts of the club. Captain Emmons is exert
ing himself to give the boys a royal time on that
night. 1t will probably be the last stag of the
season. N4E
The Union League Club paid che semi-annual
interest on its bonds in April, when It fell due,
and still has a fat bank account.
