AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.

Carl c. Countryman, A. M, gave an enjoyable entertainment at the Church Army hall on Christmas eve, to very fair audience, considering the many at fractions of that evening. MT. Coun- tryman showed rare ability as an im- personator and made very favorable impression at his first appearance be- fore New Haven audience.

Fine New Club House Erected by the

Fine New Club House Erected by the
 New Haven Golf Club,
 The completion of the new club house which is in course of construction for the New Haven golf club is according to the contract due on January 10. It will in all probability be finished by that time, or at any rate, in very few days later. If completed one of the teas of Prom" week will be held there.
 In arrangements the house will be not unlike the Lawn club It will be a gabled cottage built of sheathed pine and painted probably dark red. The first floor will be given over entirely to the assembly room, dimensions, l6X23, and the ladies' lockers. A great chimney of pellet brick, with a huge open fireplace six and a half feet broad, will ornament one end of the as- sembly room. The flour of this main room will be made of the best southern pine, with a view to making it an ideal dancing floor. Twenty-four lockers will be placed in the ladies' room, and here, too, all the appointments will be of hard wood. On the second floor, the lockers for the men, 160 in number, will be stationed. A fine modern bath with showers will complete the upper floor of the club house. The front elevation of the house, which will stand about seventy feet from the present one, will look out on the links, and a broad pleasant piazza will add considerably to it's picturesqueness.

william Penn's Mansion.

What is believed to be the first brick
building ever erected in Philadelphia
still stands on the brow of a hill in
Paramount park. 1t was the home of
William Penn, by whom it was built
in 1852. 1t was the first state house of
the province of Pennsylvania and orig
inally stood on the governors lot In
1888 it was moved bodily into Fair
mount park. The house is a two-story
abode of nine rooms, and only the low
err foor is open to the public. as a fam
lily lives upstairs. The, rear rooms have
their original board floors, but the par
lor, which extends across the front of
the house, has a cement floor, as the
rigina floor was removed when the
location of the building was changed
from governors lot" to the park. on
the plastered walls of the parlor are
many old-time illustrations of incidents
of PENIS life and of dwellings and thor
oughfares of Penn (the city, in olden
times.

After carefully cleaning the mud off
