The Euterpe Musical Club held the first
meeting in its new club rooms at SIG 9th
street last Monday evening. This marks a
new departure for the club. as its custom
heretofore had been to meet at the resi-
dence of some one of its members. OF late
however the membership has so greatly
and steadily increased that 1t deemed
advisable to secure permanent meeting
place at which the large number of MEM
bers and invited guests could be adequately
accommodated. Last Mondays meeting
proved that this move on the part of the
management was eminently popular, for
the club room, with a seating capacity of
nearly 200, was comfortably filled. The pro-
gram rendered was received with enthusi-
astic approval. Mr.. Henry Statham. In
