The Columbia Athletic Club gave its last
ladies' day of the season yesterday, and
throughout the afternoon the handsome
club house was thronged with ladies'.
Palms and flowers had transformed the
parlors into veritable bower of beauty.
The delicious odor of the early spring dow
ers, the exquisite blending of their many
colors with the somber green of the palms
and rubbers and the dreamy music of the
clubs ever-popular proteges, the Tuxedo
mandolin quartet, combined to make the
scene like glimpse of fairyland. An ex-
celient athletic program was given III the
gymnasium during the afternoon, for which
Capt. Bevins deserves much credit. Each
event was done in a thorough manner, and
brought to mind the recent clever exhibit
