COUNTRY CLUB PARTY.
The annual opening of the Country Club
for the season occurred last evening ard
the usual rain made its appearance in
ample time for the event. The night the
Country Club was opened for the first time
it rained in torrents and each year but
one since then there has been a %downpour.
Unusual preparations had been made for
the party and it was a disappointment
that not everyone of the club membership
and the 800 others who had special invita-
tons could be present. AS it was there was
q fair attendance. The porches were all
inclosed with anvas and decorated with
lights and lowers. Inside, the electric lights
made the rooms brilliant and they We're
most attractively arranged. All the bloS-
SONS of the country were brought into the
house and the mantel in the main hall was
like a bit of nature, for there We're sec
tons of sod studded with violets and anem-
ones just as they grow in the woods. Gay
red and yellow tupils, apple blossoms and
palms were placed everywhere and the
house transformed into d garden.
There was no formal reception of guests,
but the officers of the club, Mr.. j. K.
Lilly. president; Mr.. M. B. Wilson, vice
president; Charles M. Reynolds, secretary,
with the board of directors, Messrs. d; N,
Parry Major Taylor, H. p. WATSON, Viii
liam Scott, f. l.. Mayer and e. N. Wiles,
and the usual reception committee, includ-
ing Messrs; Jqhn n Carey, ". 1. Elder,
M. Johnson, j.. K. Sharpe, jr, r. l.. Nc
Ouat and George R. Sullivan, extended the
hospitalitieS of the house. A full orchestra
was in attendance and a, programme of
the latest music furnished Inspiration for
the dancers. The bowling alley was open
ana had Its share of attention from the
devotees of the ninepins. A supper of
salads and ices, with the usual
ments,, was served in the upper hall
| throughout the evening. The arrangements
for the party were largely in the hands of
Mr.. Ripple, the manag of the Country
Club. The party from every point of view,
except attendance, was a complete success
and the outlook is that the beautiful resort
will be more popular than ever this year.
Several parties are already in prospect.
Wheel parties go out every day and even
ing and the people are more than ever be-
ginning to appreciate what the charter
city when hey bought the pleasing site
and built the clubhouse.
