a heavy debt was incurred. A few
years ago the debt was paid, and the
building was remodeled. The most
important improvement was an addi-
ton to the rear of the building, which
| now extends for three stories, from
Main street to Alley B. The entire
second and third floors are used for
club purposes On the second floor is
a handsome new dining hall, with well
equipped pantry and kitchen, a cafe,
cloak rooms. card rooms, and parlors.
The third floor is a large hall, well
lighted and ventilated, with a balcony
in the rear, and a large stage No
more valuable property is owned by
any organization of the kind in the
city. When the Arion was started, the
musical idea was uppermost in the
minds of the projectors, hence the
name, the Arion Singing Society. For
many years connection with the sing
ing section has been optional. 1t
meets Monday evenings at eight
o'clock, with Prof. Hermann Schockey
as director. The literary section meets
on Tuesdays at the same hour, twice
month. Club evenings are Tuesdays
and Saturdays. On Sunday afternoons
and evenings the ladies and children
are given the use of the parlors. The
present directors of the Arion are Louis

President; j. A. Hess, second Vice

years the Opera House Orchestra has
held rehearsals every two weeks, on

and for each number received that
certain evidence of appreciation, an en-

the guests repaired to the parlors and

cleared for dancing. The committee
in charge of this feature was composed
of George Hook, C. Hirsch, Fred. C. H.

Whitaker, Ed. B. Franzheim, Geo. E.
Stifel, H. F. Behrens, Dr. H. B. Bagu-

selections for the terpsichorean pro-
gramme were choice airs from popular
operas, and the splendid music increas-
ed the enjoyment of that popular diver
sion. From 1880 until one o'clock an
excellent supper was served in the din
ing room of the club.
The next number upon the winter
amusement programme of the Mercan-
tile Club will be the Children's Hanu-
kah ball on the evening of Monday,
December 9th. Extensive prepare
lions are being made for this affair.
~
AS the time approaches, the interest
in the New Years ball to be given in
the Carroll Club Auditorium increases,
if that were possible, for it has been a
matter of general discussion in polite
circles for several weeks. It's success
is already assured, and Messrs. Whita-
ker and Warehouse, who will manage
the affair, feel much encouraged. This
will probably be the most elaborate
function of the winter, and in its bril-
liancy it is expected to surpass the
memorable affairs of similar charac-
ter given in the Mcclure House. The
Auditorium will be handsomely en-
bellished with flowers and plants, and
the music~will be furnished by the
Opera House Orchestra. The supper
in the dining room will be served un-
der the direction of Mr.. E. B. Carney,
proprietor of the Hotel Windsor.
Among those who are expected to be
present, are large number of Wheel
ing boys who live elsewhere, and will
be home for the holidays. One large
party, including a number of young Ia
dies, will come from the State capital.
