An Earnest Appeal ON Behalf Of
the WaVGrlGy.
PURPOSES ARE EXCELLENT
Social Intercourse for Mutual I'M
A Call for Cooperation.

The directors of the Waverley Clut
have prepared the following appeal t
be placed before those who are desir
Gus of seeing this club firmly estab
lished, and making it one of which
their fellow townspeople will in course
of time feel proud.
The desire of the directors is that
all who contribute will take an active
interest in the club and its workings
and lend their assistance by their
counsel and frequent or occasional
presence at the club in the day time
or evening
By degrees the rooms will be made
more attractive than at present; a
library will be established and prob
ably circulation department be con-
nected with it for the benefit of coun-
try members as well as of those living
in Honolulu. Entertainments and lee
lures will gradually be brought to the
front and latest talent possibly devel-
oped Better still it is hoped that
some day the club will build and own
it's own premises and have a sick and
benefit fund for its own members.
1t may be useful to note that all who
desire to enroll themselves as charter
members must do so, on or before
Saturday night next, by paying their
entrance fee of one dollar, % cents for
a copy of the constitution and by
laws, and one dollar monthly dues.
The following is copy of the ap-
peal which in due course will be taken
in hand by the directors:

The objects of the club, as defined
in it's constitution, are to afford to it's

The club it is desired, shall be bene'

from all baneful temptations, for those
for whom sociability is as advantage
Gus as it is necessary, in order to lea(
men to brighter paths by the force o
mutual friendship, assistance and ex
