Enjoy a Fine Show.

TIE annual e~lection at tho Carteret Club
took place last night, and it was the largest
and hottest election ever held at that homo
Of luxury. 1t had been anticipated for a
few days that a strife would take place, and
it was feared by many that bad feeling
would result from the election.
From what has been learned, it appears
that for some time past there has been some
discord among the younger members of the
club, but precisely what created this trouble
none of the members of the Carteret Club
spoken to concerning it could bs prevailed
upon to say.
MIR. MEYER ooK EXCEPTION.
The dissatisfaction was openly expressed
when Mr.. Lee Never took exception to the
regular nominations which had been posted
by the Nominating Committee, and declared
that he intended to oppose Edward L.
Young for trustee and that Louis Apgar
would oppose VIM. e. Gtattan.
Apparently there was no particular
reason for this, which the club was aware
of. Some OF the members tried to prevail
upon Meyer and Apgar not to be candidates
on an Independent ticket, but their efforts
proved uhayaiiing. RfJ
The regular ticket was as follows:-Eor
President, George i. Smith; Vics-President,
J. Herbert Potts: Secretary. E, P, Clarke:
Trustees, e. L.. Young, John NJ. Jones, w.
l.. Pyle. w. E. Grattan, M. e.. Staples and
William B. jenkins.
The independent ticket was precisely the
same as the regular one, except it bore the
names of Lee Meyer and Louis Apgar in the
places of Young and 4rattan.
Early in the evening it was evident that
considerable hllstling aad been dole by the
four fighting candidates for members began
to arrive rapidly. When the polls opened
the friends of the different candidates did
much Acknowledgment tor tha first fifteen
minutes no one could tell which was AHEAD,
but after that the victory Of e. l. Young
and William e. Grattan was apparent.
EMBER TOOK EXCEPTION TO MR.. NEVER.
When the polls closed and the ballots were
counted it showed that 145 votes had beeu
cast. The regular ticket was elected. Lee
Meyer received the lowest number OF votes
being t~hirty-four behind the Ticket. ApSar
received but a few votes more. The regu-
lar ticket was then formally declared
elected and the successful candidates cele-
hrated the victory by giving the club an ex-
cellent supper at which perfect harmony
prevailed.
J.. G. "A. c.. Members Indignant.
Members of the Jersey City Athletic Club
are very much wrought up over. the article
which appeared in last nights issue of the
Journal characterizing their stag" of Fri
day night as a very objectionable affair.
They say that the statement that several OF
the more conservative and older members
left the clubhouse in disgust when they
heard the Allene Sisters sing their parody
on the Salvation Army song, "Will You
Coine.M as utterly false. They think ii
strange that the Journal should give them
SO favorable a notice in Saturdays edition,
aad then turn around and print SUCH a libel
as that printed in last evenings edition. At
The clubhouse last night a prominent MON,
her said
sI attended the stag and saw nothing OBJ
j~eetionahie in any OF the acts, II there GER
allowed Oh any stage in New York OF Jersey
City. The Allene Sisters, perhaps, EN- pha-
sized the points in their songs q little more
strongly than they wogll have dono at a
Sunday School entertainment, but If. any
members left the hall turing the perform
ance it was only to s'sea a nlaa," and they re-
turned as soon as possible. The sanctineni-
Gus eS-preacher, who may have been at 4
dog fight the same night, wakes
sarcastic over the fact that some of
the talent had been secured from
Roster and Bials. Miss Sabel was the only
one from Rosters, and her songs were ones
that are heard every day i'll the drawing
rooms of our best families. Saturdays
article was the first favorable notice the
JournuL has given any of our entertain
ments for over a year, and the city editor
seems to feel sorry for his break in lauding
exaggerated article to keep his club criti-
cisms to their usual level
stag at the Palma Club.
