Post, entered at another with as many
extra Posts. Cries of Extra Start"
and Extra Post!" together with "All
about the ratification OF the peace
treaty in executive session, were loud
ly voiced by the two gentlemen, and
the papers containing the detailed vote
OF the proceedings Of the secret ses-
sion were distributed among the guests,
to the great amusement of the many
Senators present.
The swearing in or Senator-elect
Chauncey NJ. Depew furnished another
phase of gridiorn roast that was APP
preciated by everybody and by none
more than Mr.. Depew himself
A member of the club personating
Senator Platt insisted on Mr.. Depew,s
being sworn in and representation of
large book labeled "Depew's Jokes"
stalked in, and after some objections
and debate, the oath of office was adj
ministered and the book was directed
TO be conducted to the Senate restaur-
ant. A little later, it was insisted that
the proceedings were irregular and that
the other part OF Mr.. Depew should
have something to say and this was
agreed upon. A curtain was swept
aside and monograph in full view be-
gan to grind out some of Mr.. Depew'S
stories.
The comforting of ten year medals
afforded another opportunity for sharp
fun, but in this instance the members
of the club were put upon the grid
iron. A civil service examination was
instituted, and the members receiving
medals were catechised upon different
subjects and each made to perform
some speciality. Those receiving med
ais were E. j. Gibson, Louis Garthe,
Frank II. Hosford, A. j. Stofer, John
A. Corwin and E. B. Hay.
