Federal Club,
The committee having in charge the reception
given by the Federal Club Friday night deserves
many thanks for the preparations made.
President Kline is happy now. He has got rid
of the janitor who was Objectionable to him and
a new man now guards the clubhouse.
Freebooter Nelson will probably be the next
President of the Federal Club. 1t is a certainty
that President Kline will not succeed himself.
The best story teller in the Federal Club is AS
senblyman Max Salinger.
Palma Club.
The Thursday night bowling club, which Is
composed Of the trustees, had a dinner and
theatre party Saturday night. When the sea-
son opened, the club formed q pot into which
each member chipped a quarter every Thurs
day night no matter whether he was present at
the bowling or not, Saturday evening tbs pot
was opened and the sheckels which had accu-
INFLATED therein were .1biOwn i'm In an Qnpr0-
pirate manner. At fifteen minutes to 81 K o'clock
in the afternoon a Jolly party sat down to a plain
but substantial repast at the Arena in New
York; that Is, 1t was plain and substantial il you
heard viii Carter tell it. The gourmanis that
folded their legs under the mahogany were:-
Grouse. Joe Bedls. the Colonel; Bob Carter,
Sam Hathaway, Bob Elliott, Will Post, Jake
Eye, Will Lefferts and Frank Robinson. They
songs and told funny stories. When eight
o'clock arrived, they all went to the theatre.
What theatre? just ask any one who was there
and see what he will say.
The question is often asked when the sChair
man" of the club was elected? Some had never
heard OF such an officer before receiving thei
last postal. Won't some one please explain?
The members of the Thursday Night Bowling
Club were not the only ones who dined on
Saturday night and went to the theatre, The
officers OF the club were very much agitated by
the remarks of an elderly member made at the
last meeting, SO they decided to meet on Satur-
day evening at Sherrys and: all resign-from the
festive board. They carried out their rash in
~tention, and although it was hard work to get
some of them to leave the board, they all
managed however to get away in time to go
over to the Star Theatre and see Crane in son
Probation"
Nothing but praise Is heard of the excellent
manner in which the Lecture Committee did its
work. Not only has the WORK of it's members
been a great success intellectually, but it has
succeeded financially. They have not only given
a delightful course on astronomy, beautifully
Illustrated, but they have recently sent the sub
scribers checks for a dividend OF 90 per cent. for
the profits of their venture. 1t Is to be re-
GREETED that the illness of the lecturer brought
the course to an unexpected close.
