meeting of last week on account Of the
death Of one of its oldest and best be-

usual %fortnightly array of euchres, the
Friday Afternoon, the Afternoon Hill,
and the Clifford avenue euchres.

the residence of Mrs. Sloan, of Kensing-

will meet at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Kinds, No. 316 Bergen ave-
