CALIFORNIA CLUB
Large Reunion OF nembers Celebrating an
Anniversary

The premises in the board of trade
building which have housed the Califor-
mia club for eight years presented a bril-
liant and memorable scene last night.
The occasion was reunion to celebrate
the eighth anniversary Of their tenancy
of their present quarters, which they
are SO soon to give up for a still more
commodiouS and elegant habitation,
for by the LIST of July they expect to be
installed in the new Wilcox block. Men,
bers began to congregate between and
y o'clock and the rooms presented
somewhat extraordinary scene to the
old habitue. The pipe is tabooed by the
constitution of the club, but last night
long clays, known as churchwardens,
and variety of other brand new pipes
were provided by the club and were
charged with California club mixture.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the doors of the
dining rooms were thrown open for in
diligence in what is modestly termed
petit soupe." This developed. how
ever, into an elaborate collation. of beau
tifully decorated viands, positive tri-
umphs of the chefs art. Charles A. Mar
riner, the clubs president, was in the
chair and happily introduced the subject
of the reunion, the clubs departure from
those quarters, which for eight years
had been its home. Hervey Lindley
who with General Johnston, Sam T
Shortridge, and j. D. Spreckels. formed a
ioeboie iiIlic cotei le' w DIS Cdileu upon loI
a speech. He deplored the fact that he
and his colleagues had only just risen
from a lunch which had lasted nine
hours, but the eloquence of Mr.. Short
ridge, he knew, was as ineXhaustible
as it was eloquent, and he would delegate
his duties to him. Mr.. Shortridge fol-
lowed with a very happy speech, in eu-
logy of the state, its unity, and the re-
sources of Southern California. where he
believed few oranges and politicians
flourished He described the boundar-
les of the state as Oregon to the north
geography to the east and San Pedro
harbor to the west. The northern states
mans eloquence and humor We're loudly
applauded. Mayor RAIDER made few
happy remarks in congratulation of the
club, and j. d. Spreckels, despite his
protestations. was induced to make a
speech. During the evening stringed

May Irwin, she of the rotund form

a member of her company the other day
and had the labial salute perpetuated
on the kaleidoscope. And 1t is related
with much junction that the kiss occu-
pied fifteen seconds in transit, that the
camera took 600 views of it and that the
kiss was stretched over fortv-two feet
of Photographic film. 1 believe that a
forty-tWo foot kiss is the record for
sweetness long drawn out. I once knew

feet. But think of the respiratory sus-

just a timid brushing of soft wings, as
1t were, and passes away like a sup
pressed sigh. But a happy. medium
sized kiss is best. For It's better. to my
mode of thinking. to have forty-two
separate and distinct kisses of a foot
