COLUMBIA CLUB Dimes.
Delicious Duck and Good
Stories Compete for the
Honors.

The annual duck dinner of the Columbia
Club of Greenville, held last night at
| Columbia Hall, Ocean and Gator avenues.
was one Of the successes of the season.
About one hundred guests, including
prominent politicians from Hudson county
| and New York, were present The credit
for the excellent repast is mainly due to
Mine Host Joseph Kaiser, who demon
| 9tratsd his ability to select and serve
the tender ducklings properly. The inn
mense hall was handsomely decorated
with palms, roses, chrysanthemums and
ported plants. Vases containing red and
| white roses were placed at each plate
Huge clusters of yellow and white chrys-
anthemums were artistically arranged in
the centre of each table. A band Of mu-
~sicians, hidden in an artificial garden OF
palms, discoursed sweet strains while the
guests feastad.
A receptions committee, composed OF
FCaptain Thomas Nugent, Detective Robert
Pearson, City Marshal Edgar Vreeland
and Thomas Keely, welcomed the guests
and assigned them to their respective
seats. Master of Ceremonies Commits
sioner edward Barr raped for order and
delivered a brief address of welcome, after
which the walters scurried about and
served the first curse of giblet soup.
Large platters of roasted duck next ap-
peared, done to a turn. to be quickly con-
sumed by the hungry guests. There was
an abundance of everything and every
one was satisfied.
After wine and cigars had been served
Commissioner Barr introduced Mr. Charles
Farmer. who rendered a number OF ex-
celient piano selections, which we're re-
ceived with great applause. Mr.. Thomas
Ballantyne, the well known huIaorist, re-
lated a number of dialect stories in his In
imitable way. He received numerous en-
cores and responded with a better story
each time. Mr.. John Hovenden, Green
yille's humorist, told several laughabie
stories. Louis Guessing sang When Your
Mothers Hair Turns Gray" Mr.. VIM.
Charlock gave several baritone selections.
