Two clubs are without habitation on &C.
count of the delays In finishing their new homes.
The house of the St. Nicholas in Forty fourth-st.,
west of Fifth-ave., seems from exterior view
to be ready for occupancy and the ground floor has
been largely cleared of the rubbish left by car
penters and masons 1t Is expected that possess
sion will be taken OF II early next month. The
facade which is Dutch in style. is so distinctive
as to attract much attention In the mean time, as
the clubs former house In Fifth-ave was sur
rendered to the owner May /, the members are
scattered among several clubs which threw open
their doors 10 them.
The Aldine should have been housed at No. 10
Fifth-ave. some time ago but has met with vexa-
tlous delays. After the wainscotting had been put
up 1t had to be torn down again, so that a leak in
the gas fixtures might be discovered and closed n
change in lue had also TO be made to meet the
requirements Of the Building Department. The
officers have grown tired OF fixing the date OF the
opening, which should however take place within
a week. II is no serious hardship TO the members,
however. the Aldne is virtually downtown
club and is used chiefly at luncheon times The
members patronzing restaurants, but VIII

There was a kind Of a race between the st:
Nicholas and Harvard clubs as to which should
have its house finished first The two build
lngS are only a rev doors from edcn OtneI.- rOi
time little apparent progress was made on Harvard
House, and the ST. Nicholas men thought In the
early spring that their establishment would be I'm
ished first They were mistaken in this, however,
the Harvard Club had It's opening nearly TWO
weeks ago. This house is In the style OF the Old
buildings the Cambridge campus and is an In
eresting addition to the architecture Of that neigh
borhOOd.
The affairs of the Hardware Club are going on
swimmingy. In the short time since the opening
OF the cubrOOms the top floor of the Postal
Telegraph Building fifty new members have been
elected The situation is delightful In these warm
days. SO strong is the breeze from over the Hud-
River that the windows at the west end OF
the floor seldom be kept open. The members
all much pleased with the cooking and the SER
vice. Nearly every banking officer in Broadway
between the Aston House and Duane-st. now be-
longs this club.
The Union League club has got out OF an awk.
ward muddle by accepting the resignation or
George Montague treasurer and electing VIII
lam q. White In his stead. There was enough
feeling each side 70 insure hot fight had the
affair not been settled. Many leading members
thought Mr. Montague's demand that he be al
lowed select the cashier 10 handle the funds for
which the treasurer was responsible just
one. on the other hand. other members recognized
that the Executive Committee had much reason in
it's contention. Therefore it Is happy issue to
which the trouble has been brought. Mr.. Montague
has served treasurer for a number of years and
I'm fact did not desire recollection last winter. He
is n young and his duties In the Second
National Bank take up much Of his energy.
