The Athletic Club has set the date
for its minstrel performance for the Sth
OF December, and as the members have
had the idea under consideration for
some months, the entertainment will
1ikely be far ahead of all previous per-
formances of an amateur character ever
given in the city before. There is likely
to be some change made in the date,
however. as the Athletic Club boys have
nnwittingly set the date for the same
evening with the Mcneil Club concert.
But as both clubs are on the best of
terms, and members of the one may
be found ON the roster of the other, the
sss.ange will be amicably arranged. Both
functions are sure to be SO interesting
to friends and the general public as we'll
that an arrangement would have in any
case TO be made whereby both could
be attended. Some of our best talent
are to take hand in the minstrel per-
formance. and some decidedly novel and
heretofore unknown features are prom
ised, to WHICH we may look forward
with the liveliest interest.
The season of chrysanthemum rule is
here, and with it some of our private
gardens have blossomed out in the most
gorgeous display of floral beauty in
every shade known to natures won
drous handiwork. Two of the finest
displays to be found in the city are in
the gardens of Mrs. Egl on G. between
Ninth and Tenth streets, on the north
side, and that of Miss Mary Barrett
at the Platt residence on d street near
Eleventh. Both are well worth taking
considerable trouble TO see, and
contain all the old and many of the
new varieties in this favorite fall bios
som. Mrs. EgFs garden contains row
upon row Of the gorgeous beauties. and
she boasts of over two hundred distinct
varieties. These ladies are both justly
proud of their chrysanthemums, and it
gives them the keenest pleasure to show
their treasures to visitors. who are al
ways welcome, and who daily test the
patience of these ladies in their desire
TO see these really wonderful collections
of the most popular flower of the day.
"Joshing." as it is popularity called. in

productive of most unforeseen and un-
pleasant results, as in the case of an
engagement announcement made In
this column last Sunday of Miss Ste
phenson to Mr. Ranlett. 4 bit of good
natured joshing between two young
men led to one taking the others an

passed that same gentleman was the
recipient of a shower of congratula-
fions for a matter which by that time
had entirely escaped his mind. and

it the best Portland ever saw. Especially
was this the case with the grand process

of the two men who were handling the
fireworks, W Malone Of Essex street,
Brooklyn and John T. Nolan of " Court

on float in the middle of the stream
and had been drinking freely. Malone
slipped and fell into the river and went

the water. Malone grasped him and
Nolan was unable to loosen his hold.
Both men sank before the accident was

had that anything was wrong was the
