The announcements of social events TOT
December OF the st. Michaefs Gu indi-
Gates that the month is to be one gwen
over to social festivities and livery CON
tests between various teams of the ciun
and rival teams of the organizations OF
other parishes. There is every reason 70
believe that in these VIC respects the
club will surpass all its previous efforts.
The club is in a most fourishing CON
I dition. Its handsomely appointed rooms
are crowded nightly with enthusiastic
members, who find all the wholesome
amusement they would naturally wish
| for. and such companionship as Is pro11t-
4 ab,e 10 all the young people Of the parish.
and to the parish at large. Billiards, pool,
bowling, ETC., are the fayorlte amuss-
ments.
Interesting tournaments OF all three are
being arranged. Among the Do~ieLs
there is a great deal of interest mani
| tested in the coming games with Teams
4 from other parishes. On Monday evening
| the regular team will meet one from St-
Bridget's parish on the clubs own alleys.
A great crowd Of rooters from both par
ishes viii be on hand to root for their
respective teams and lively times are ex-
pected. On Friday. evening, DECEMBER 10
the team win meet one from st. Peters
on its own alleys and a REPETITION OF
the exciting scenes will be in order. Tne
team will also meet the Catholic Clubs
crack team on the latter clubs alleys on
Tuesday evening, December Is.
While IN all such games there is intense
| rivalry, they but serve to create a bond
of friendship between the various parish
organizations and a consequent deeper m
terest in the affairs of the members re-
spective clubs and lyceums. 1t Is a great
honor to represent the club in any Of the
inter-club contests, but when g. team wins,
all the members share the glory. The
rooter considers he has done as much in
his own way as the player with his skill,
backed by the ~rooters' encouragement.
Nearly all the members bowl, and events
are scheduled in which all who choose to
can take part. On both evenings
of Thursday and Friday of next week
there will be prize bowling for even ASSOC
ciate members. Some splendid prizes,
well worth contesting for, Will be offered.
The top score prize viii be eagerly fought
for. A mystery prize will also be eagerly
sought for by the players. An entry fee
of . cents will be charged. Entries may
be made with the secretary or the chair
man Of the Bowling Committee.
One of the principal events OF the month
viii be a grand holiday euchre and recep-
ton to take place on the evening of De-
cember Il. The committee in charge has
selected an unusual number of prizes,
costly, attractive and useful. Nearly all
the prominent people of the parish will at
tend this event. An entrance fee OF twen-
ty-fve cents will be charged. Great prep
arations are being made for this event,
but even it will doubtless be eelipsed by
the Christmas '.alistletoe, dance to be
held on Thursday, December %. 1t is an
ticipated that this will be a crush.
There will be two ladies' nights. one on
Thursday, 14th inst. and the other on
Thursday, 2ist. These always prove inter
esting events. The young ladies eagerly
avail themselves Of the opportunity of en-
joying the clubs handsome equipment,
and the clubhouse is practically turned
over to them on such occasions. They
bowl, play pool and billiards and dance.
It is needless to say that the membe OF
the club turn out in force to greet them.
Tomorrow evening week the club and
Board of Directors will hold their regular
quarterly meetings. The Board of Di-
rectors will also hold a meeting on Sunday
evening, December "a.
