| nave Deen OH MAIN street ldSG eVe-
ming might have noticed q jolly
crowd of debonaire bacholers, hen
pecked husbands, or in other words
'the lords of creation" vending their
way towards the west end of our
little city and no doubt wondered
thereat. For the benefit of those not
on the "inside" we wish to say that
the aforesaid jolly crowd were the
members of the Logan Gentlemen's
Whist Club gathering together pro-
peratory to making a. decent upon
the hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Rose, who had generously
thrown open their handsome parlors
to as jolly stag party..as was ever
gathered together In the history Of
our city. 1t was a stag party in the
true sense of the word, the assemb-
ling of the "cream Of the whist
fendsv of Logan. They were all
there, just as we used to tell them off
on our waists buttons. 1.-THE doctor,
the lawyer, the merchant, the chief,
the rich man, the poor man, the
sheriff, the" well the other fell
low wasn't there, he would have been
out Of place among this notable ar
ray of Logan's prominent whist
players. Upon reaching the hospit-
able residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Rose
the members Of the club were cordi-
ally received by the kind host and
hostess and revuested to make them
selves at home. Following the seat
ing of the gentlemen cards with num-
bers on them were drawn, pairing
the players,off and at 8:l5 the signal
to play was given and for the next
two hours nothing but the subdued
murmer of voices and ;swish of the
cards could be heard, each team
struggling for the mastery. During
the sitting, with smiling faces, the
host and hostess moved among their
guests and saw that they wanted for
nothing. If there were any in at
tendance who did not enjoy them
selves it was their own fault. Atten
o'clock an intermission of half
hour was taken and the guests in
vited to the dining room where an
excellent supper on two tables drap-
ed in snowy linen awaited the hung
ry. The supper was served in courses
and showed the thoughtful lness of
Mr.. and Mrs. Rose who understand
how to cater to the wants of the in
ner man. Following is the menu:

During the serving of supper and
amid the flow of social conversation
around the festal board the Logan
Club was stationed in the
Darlor and discoursed sweet music
'or the further entertainment of the
guests. After satisfying the wants
If the inner man the players repair
ed to their respective positions and
play was resumed until 1880 when
line was called and the prizes award
I'd. In summing up the punches it
vas found that Messrs Harry Am
PROSE and Geo. Eberst were tied for
irst honors, being credited with
thirteen games apiece and it was de-
,ided to play game of seven-up to
lecide the tie. Mr.. Eberst made the
irst seven points and was awarded (
irst honors, O fine silk umbrella.
Ir. James Rochester tried hard to
vim the BOBBY prize but Sheriff Ryan
'ame struggling along with the same
mount of games won, six in num-
,er, causing another contest, this
vas decided in the same manner as
he contest for first honors. Jim by
killful playing outwinded his OPP
'onent and walked off with the
'ooby, a pack of playing cards. Fol-
owing the presentation of the hon [
rs the brave "knights of the paste !
oards" cordially thanked their kind
ost and hostess for the pleasant
vening and bidding them good
light departed for their homes.
