kept within such limits. The band inside the
club had been supplying music for tho march

room 70 another in long lines, following the
music. AT about 1 O'Clock the limits of the

The late afternoon blockade at Madison
avenue and Forty-second street has grown to
be SO serious that 1t lasts now with little In
terruption from 8 o'clock until :. The re-
pairs to Fifth avenue have driven all tho
traf1c. from that thoroughfaro through
Forty-ninth street into Madison avenue, and
down to Forty-second street the crush of vehi-
Giles is so great in the afternoon that every one
must proceed cautiously. This unusual con-
dition is complicated by the fact that.ln sew
e-al places workmen are already busy on the
damaged asphalt of the street. When this
extra traffic meets the usual crowd Mt Forty
second street the congestion is so great that
frequently for ten minutes progress in any
direction is impossible. The policemen on
duty are unable 10 control the situation, which
luckily lie only temporary. Bicyclists have
long since abandoned tho street, although a
bicycle policeman stands at the corner for
their protection. One of the proprietors of

A country club was recently organized IN
one of the towns not an hours ride from this
city, and It's promoters exercised o decidedly
marked process OF exclusion in the selection
of the members. All the desirable families
in the region were asked to Join the new Or
Ranization. but the invitations stopped short
at the lines OF tho town nearest New York.
That place. the directors decided. was too near
the city. 1t was too suburban to possess the
right to belong to a country club. So the
names Of the oldest and proudest families
were ANONYMOUSLY scratched, and the club
opened without them. They bore up well un-
der the privntion. oetter. In f.ct, than the club
did. and they are now spending all their spare
time in refusing TO become members nf the
exclusive institution. Tho club soon discov-
cred that it needed them, and. suburban or
not. they had TO be taken in to keep the or
Ranization in a prosperous condition. But It
seemed q little late To the citizens. of the
town which, IL had at first been decided. lay
too far south for admission, and they arc
resolutely staying out.
Evidently the demand creates the supply.
