HAD A SMOKER"
A Pleasant Evening With the Sacra.
mentO Athletic Club.

The members of the Sacramento Ath-
letic Club had a jolly good time last
night, the occasion being what they
term a smoker"
But smoking was only a side-d dish, SO
to speak, for there were all sorts of en-
tertainment. Tables were arranged in
a hollow square considerably bigger
than the ordinary boxing ring, and
while most of the members sat about
thet square and ate sandwiches, washed
down with light but tempting bever-
ages, and puffed good cigars, others
held forth in the center and furnished
amusement for their comrades.
President Joseph M. Anderson opened
the festivities with some happy remarks
about the club, amateur athletics and
other things. Then the club quartet
sang a popular song, and the applause
had scarcely ceased when William Hen
ley and James Conley became engaged
in lively three-round boxing bout.
After some very sweet music by the
Lyra Either Club-C. G. Stever, c. E.
Kleinsorge, Harry Gates and John Els
ler-Joe Jacobs and William McGraw
donned the big mittens and gave an ex-
hibition of their prowess in that branch
of physical culture that sometimes in
wolves bloody noses.
Mr. Higgins, late a member of Hav-
erly's Minstrels, and Mr.. Spickett of the
Clunie Opera-house company, favored
the club members with a variety OF
comicalities; William and Ed Johnson
did a scientific boxing bout, and
Messrs. Hanlon and Phillips appeared
in some of their ever-popular special
ties.
If anyone imagines the Athletic Club
members do not know how to put in a
pleasant evening, all he has to do to
become disabused of that idea is to gel
on good terms with one Of them and Sc
