lights. The electrical arrangements
provided to produce the ballet are very
interesting. A huge storage battery
supplies the surrants, and cables run
from it to the rigging above. Here the
cables are connected with wires which
hang down the center OF the stage to
the floor, each being concealed by
garland Of roses. A small wire netting,
to which are attached the little cleo
trio lamps. covers each dancer and the
connection is made with the current
by the girls. whose hands are protect

strings of flowers. The effect is exquis-

been any accident in the ballet. The

Local Matters.
GOLF CLUB MEETING.
Several important Changes in Bylaws Pro.
posed, Last Evening.

At the meeting of the Golf Club held at
the Office Of Williamson & Burleigh, last
evening. the question of making changes
in the bylaws was brought up and amonS
the proposed changes will be that of ad-
hitting ladies to membership on the same
footing as the men. There was large
attendance present and many new names
were proposed.
In the matters of making changes IN
the bylaws it was voted to have draft
of the purposed changes made and sub
rnited at the next meeting, at $50. Friday,
Oct le Among the changes purposed was
70 admit ladies on the same footing as
men. giving them the full privileges OF
the club; 10 make the annual dues y; to
make a special arrangement by which
any member on the payment of $ may
be entitled 10 the privilege OF the grounds
for himself and family and friend who is
no; a resident of Augusta, Hallowell or
Gardiner; to place the management OF the
general affairs of the club in the hands of
a governing board consisting of the pres
ident. Leslie c. Cornish, Esq, the vice
president, NJ. S. Holway, who is serving
in the place of Fred w. Chase, the treas
urer. Thomas A. Cooper, the secretary,
Lewis A. Burleigh, and Rev. II. L. Dun
mack.
The treasurer was directed to request a
contribution of 81 from each member for
the purpose of fixing up the putting
greens. All of the members present com
piled with the request for a contribution
Visitors who wish to play on the grounds
must have a card of introduction signed
by a member of the club, and paid for at
rate fixed by the governing board.
1t was voted that no person or member
shall have authority TO contract any debt,
but the governing board has sole author
ity to expend for club purposes any
money in the treasury. The move to ad-
nit ladies to membership on the same
footing with the male members will
doubtless prove very popular, as many
ladies in the city have expressed a desire
to join. Although the club started this
year only, II already has a membership
Of 30, and from the interest taken in the
game in the city, there is slight question
that the membership will be largely in
creased in the near future.
