GRIDIRON CLUB FUN.
Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge
witness a Funny Initiation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--The December
dinner of the Gridiron Club was given to-
night at the Arlington Hotel, where about
130 guests were entertained in character
istic manner by the forty correspondents
who compose the famous organization.
Gen. H W Boynton presided. He took
part in an interesting burlesque election.
in which members of the club imper-
sonated well-known statesmen and poll
ticians. and participated in Kentucky
Philadelphia election on plans of the most
exaggerated type. General Boynton was
unanimously voted cut, but he called in
the "army" and navy" and was again
seated.
The initiation of Rudolph Kaufman, of
the Evening Star, was made the text of a
clever skit The candidate appeared as
"Aguinaldo," running for safety and pur-
sued by three members of the club repre-
senting Generals Lawton, Macarthur and
these three Officers" and then General
Otis" another member of the club. stalked
in with military pomp and after some con-
versation received the report OF the OFF,
GERS, each claiming to have captured the
Filipino chief. After reading each report
he dictated a dispatch to his orderly"
cabling Adjutant General Corbin that the
army under my command presents the Ma
tion, as Christmas gift. Aguinaldo." The
club took in the candidate. saying as he
had done most of his fighting in the news
papers he was entitled to belong to
correspondents club. General Otis" was
presented with a 'house" for his great
victory.
Another incident was the reading of an
alleged dispatch from South Africa detail
ing great victory which the English had
achieved over the Beers. This was fol-
lowed by a number of British soldiers run
ming the whole length OF the room, pur
sued in a leisurely manner by "Oom Paul
