Richmond Grayx Pleasure Club.

A short time ago the jolly lads Of
Company a, Richmond Grays. decided
TO form a pleasure club. This move
ment assumed a definite shape last Fri
day night after drill, and the result was
the organization of the Richmond Grays
Pleasure Club, the objects OF which are
the promotion of the social, literary. and
dramatic advancement of its members.
The club starts out under the most favo-
rable auspices, and. no doubt, it will
do a lot of good towards getting a desl-
rable class Of young men to join this old
and Well-known company.
The following officers were elected:
President, Corporal j. II. Payne; Vice
President. Corporal T. d. Fairlamb; Sec
rotary and Treasurer. Sergeant John b.
Metzger, and ergeant-at-Arms, a. l..
Ford. The next meeting will be on next
Friday night after drill, when the con-
stitutlon and bylaws will be adopted.
The club expects in the near future to
give an entertainment, at which time the
club will make its formal debut" After
the meeting the newly-elected officers
made very enthusiastic speeches. and the
well-known and popular Grays' Quar-
tette-J. E., j. v, and l.. d. Cherry, and
G. r. Aforementioned several selections
in their best style.
