HOUSE WARMING.
The Whist Club In New
Quarters.
Opening of the New Apartments in
the Coleman Building on
Post Street.

The San Francisco Whist Club had the
latch-string out in its new quarters at 500
Post street last night. and the rooms were
thronged with members and friends of the
organization.
1t is now two years since the club Or
ganized. the members at first being very
few. Meetings and tournaments were
held in the Mercantile Library building
on Van Ness avenue, and soon the club be-
came very popular. When the member
ship reached $50 there was some trouble
with the library people about the question
of rent, and the club began to look else
where for quarters. Learning that the es-
tate of w. T. Coleman was about to erect
a building on Post street the club secured
lease of the second floor. with the under
standing that no saloon should be opened
on The ground floor.
The cost of fitting up the new quarters
of the club was $1,000, but this sum was
donated by few of the generous men,
bers The dues from the 200 mem bers
will be amply sufficient to keep the club
going.
The first room on the second floor of the
new quarters is designed to be used by the
lady members. although gentlemen will be
permitted to play there. No smoking will
be allowed in this room. Off this large
apartment, which contains thirty tables
for whist-Dlaying, there is another large
room for the exclusive use of the gentle.
men mem ers, and in this apartment there
will be no objection to pipes and cigars.
In the rear of the two clu5rooms there
are apartment is for the exclusive use of the
ladies and gentlemen for the depositing of
hats and cloaks.
There were no special exercises at the
opening last night. When the guests ar
rived they were made comfortable by the
president, Henry Payot. who at once or
gained a series of impromptu games. The
evening was occupied in playing the fa-
vorite game. and the only difficulty was
the scarcity of tables on account of the
large number of people present.
Applications for membership are rain

magnificent floral tributes were heaped

The marriage was solemniZed in Grace
Church on April 20. and DO one was
present but the high contracting parties
and the rector. When the marriage OF the
fair young widow became known it pro-
duced decided sensation in the circles
that she graced. Mrs. Fillmore was sorely
displeased when she heard of the match,
but the brides father is reported to have
received the tidings that we're 50 unwel-
come to his lie partner with philosoDhc
calmness. Moreover, it IS said. he sent
the happy couple a check as a token of his
forgiveness and goodwill.
Mr.. Fraser did not court the prominence
that he was given when his union was an
nounced. He is a quiet gentleman, full
bearded ana turning gray. He is c0nsld-

Company. She is sister of the wife of
Wyoming'S famous criminal lawyer. Judge

'On account of the i'll health of the

to her relatives, who had other plans for
