first game of the anniversary euchre
would start. The eichres given by this
popular club heretofore have always
taken place on the third floor of the
spacious building, but last nights crowd
filled both the third and the second floors,
and had there been more tables, fully
one hundred more people would have
| played for the handsome prizes that were
awarded.
As early as seven O'Clock in the even
ing the people began to arrive and by
an hour later over five hundred people
had entered the clubhouse. The Arrange
ment Committee, consisting of a number
of associate members, with Mrs. III. j..
Burns as chairman, had worked like
beavers for the past month to make the
| event one of the finest ever held in this
| city, and they certainly accomplished
their purpose. There were seventy-five
prizes and every one of them was donat-
ed through the efforts of the following
ladies, who were in CHARGE
Mrs. H. +. Burns, President; Mrs. Hugh
| Coyle, Treasurer; Miss M. D. McEntee.
| Secretary: Mrs. Emil Datz, Mrs. Hanley,
Mrs. N. L. Paladeau; MissH- Symes, Miss

Ten games were played in all, and it
was after eleven o'clock when the bell
sounded for the last game. Then came
the task of awarding the prizes. The
people present were then told that they
would have to ascend another flight of
| stairs, where the different prize, winners
would be announced. This floor, which
| was devoted to dancing, was crowded in
no time. and a large number of people re-
manned below rather than be crushed. The
stage at the extreme end of the building
was literally covered with prizes, and a
very strange thing was that there were
not two alike.

| of the prize winners, and greatly distin-
guished himself in the performance of his
| duties. The lucky ones, their prizes and
