The regular monthly meeting OF the club,
held last Wednesday afternoon, was long
session. but 1t was also a most important
one. So that one does not regret the time
consumed, when the result was of such
interest to the club. The bylaws sent out
In pamphlet form to each stockholder and
club member were adopted with q few
changes, so that from this time on the club
VIII be governed by laws better suited to its
present needs. At the end of the meeting
vote of thanks was extended to the By
law Committee for their arduous work on
these important changes.
IN accordance with the new rules adopted
committee Of elections was appointed to
take charge Of the work of the annual cleo
tion of officers which will occur next
month. In due time this committee will
send out slips. asking each member to send
a list of names of suitable persons for
nomination for officers of the club, and
members of the Executive Committee, and

the cub will give thoughtful consideration
TO thIs important matter, so that the off
GERS elected may be the result of an earnest
serious thought
AS there seemed to be so much important
business to transact on last Wednesday
the committee postponed Mile de Bonne-
viles lecture on "Chautaubriand" until a
time when ones brain would not be In a
state of chaos, in trying to understand the
