ST. PAuIS CATHOLIC CLUB.


The member of ST. Paul's Catholic
Club OF Greenville held one of the most
Interesting meetings of the year last night
at the clubhouse Oh Linden avenue. The
Eentertainment Committee which had
charge pf the producing of the drama, "A
Confederate Spy" which the young Thes-
plans presented last month. reported that
the affair had been most successful iinlail-
cially. The final report has not been
made out, as there are more returns to
come in. Much credit was given the anna
teur orators for the mastery way in
which the play was given without the aid
oil an expert coach. Father Peter Reilly,
who formerly drilled the young men, had
not the time to spare last month. and the
members just got right down to it them
selves.
1t was decided not toN enter inc dra-
matics during the summer months, and it
will probably be September before the
idea Of producing another drama will be
brought up for consideration.
) After the theatrical business was dis
posed of the members discussed the adj
Instability of organizing a ball team. An
drew Cook was chosen captain and the
remainder of the team will be picked out
during the next week or two. New uni
forms, bats, balls and gloves will shortly
be purchased by a committee appointed
for that purpose. and the club IS now
ready to receive challenges from any Of
the Catholic 1T teams in this city.
The bicycle club was also r~eorganized
last night. This club. which the members
organized last fall was a success while II
lasted, but the closing of the season dis-
banded it. Charles Kelly was the rider
selected to captain the bicycle team The
club adopted new colors last night n a
handsome banner Of white and gold VIII
be carried on all the bicycle runs. Ine
wheelmen viii shortly get together TOT
the purpose of planning runs TO various
points.
Father Joseph Mcdowell, the rector OF
st. Paul's Church, last winter, IN an al
dress which he made in the parish nan
on Old Bergen Road. urged the young
men to organize all sorts of clubs TO com
pete with the other Catholic CLUBS IN TINS
and other cities. The members have taken
his advice and st. Pauls Club VIII soon
be one of the strongest athletic Cathonc
clubs in this city.
