the election Of Mrs A. H. Griffin as
president and chaparone and Silva For
sythe, treasurer. The club is formed al
most exclusively for social purposes, its
name not being very indicative OF hard
study or mental exer,ion. The first feat

ments Is camping party. II was de-
cidsd by a unanimous ana somewhat
ANNA ted vote last evening TO resolve
the CLUB into camping party upon Au-

penses. The scheme OF the club Ia a
good one and the Mail predicts that the
