| MA ~ ESvSiO sembags was thor
ougniy congeniaL Many handsome
stock subscriptions were recorded by
the committees 10 charge, which Is an
other source of qualification, since II Is
an evidence OF the substantial co-opera-
tlon OF the Catholics OF the city, In the
efforts of the club 20 purchase and
equip a home OF It's own.
During the early hours OF the evening
promenade concert was rendered by
the Opera House Orchestra, which oc'
cupied position upon the stage. An
informal programme OF music and al
dresses followed. DR.. Charles A. Win
gerter, President OF the Club, opened
this feature with an address which was
received with many demonstrations OF
enthusiastic approval lie SAID II was
! his duty first, TO give expression TO his
appreciation OF the honor which was
conferred upon hiW in electing him to
! the presidency OF the club, and he ala
50 in a very happy manner.
He took a very hopeful veiw OF the
prospects for the club aud dwelt briefly
upon it's aims and objects. Continuing
ne said: by every honest means OF
wholesome amusement we shall try TO
foster strong arms, warm hearts, quick
intellecJs and manly noble souls. The
athlete and the book-wOrm, the Wit and
the scholar, the deyotee Of sweet music
and The p,oddsr of more sober science,
the man who works with honest hands,
and ne who labors with q firing brain,
will all find place 10 our charmed cir
cls 10 which the passwords are to be,
uprightueSs, courtesy, Cathohclty, pa
trlOtism. Patriotism, though / nave
named 10 last, is not the least as Is
shown by our name-the Carroll Club.
Ia taking that name We pledge to our
country all that John Carroll, the
first bishop OF America, gave
to it-u0tiring efforts at home
aud abroad and all that
Charles Carroll, OF Carrolton, risked
for il our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honor Catholics love- Amer
lea because it is the land OF freedom,
Of religious liberty. Catholics dlScoy-
cred America, and first peopled it.
They toiled for il; they fought and oled
for H."
The speaker emphasized the neces-
sity for harmony in the club, and in
closing pictured its future in glowing
terms. When he concluded he was
warmly applauded
Miss Emma Nahn, of the Cathedral
choir, contributed a vocal solo, and was
followed by Rev. Father O. II. Moye, in
five minutes talk, which was punctu-
ated with applause Miss Emma Con-
nelly sang selection in very pleasing
style, and a solo by Mrs. NJ. +. Whitta-
ker was exQuisiteiy rendered. Col.
Thomas O'Brien and John j. Conid,
ESQ, were called upon for ad-
dresses, and responded in their
Enthusiastically happy manner.
Misss Mary Ray recited Mark
Twain interviewed, in way which
gave evidence OF an elocutionary ability
of an exc eptionally high order.
The floor was then cleared OF the
chairs, and the remainder OF the even
ing was devoted 10 terpsichorean pleas
ures. for which the Opera House Or
chestra furnished tuneful melodies. Be-
tween the hours OF ten and one o'clock
luncheon was served in the commodious
dining hall bv the HOtel Windsor chef,
assisted by a corps Of walters. The al
fair, on the whole, was very enjoyable.
MANY non. Catholics were among the
guests, and il. Is understood That the
club will not be an exclusively Catholic
institgtion. This at least was the view
taken of the matter by several of the
sneakers, one Of whom referred to the
address delivered by Bishop WatterSon
before the Columbus y. NJ. c. A, COM

which the RI Rev. Bishop gave express
sion.
