Bachelors Club.

Inc Uduq uet anu JuOilee OF Inc h1nS-
ley Bachelors Club, given last Fri-5
day evening, was most brilliant and
successful affair from beginning to
end.
Mr.. Ed LOso gave the club the use
of the entire first floor OF his taste
fully-furnished mansion. favor which
was highly appreciated.
Between 1880 and o'clock the guests,
to the number of twenty, arrived and
were uehered into the drawing rooms
by culored porters employed for the
occasion. -.
After short time spent in talk and
cheerful greeting, a game of progress
sive caroms was started, and for two
hours the rooms echoed to the click of
the disks and the merry voices of the
players in this fascinating sport.
Shortly after ten the company
donned walking apparel and repaired
to Harry Reeds restaurant, where a
sumptuous repast, ordered especially
from Kansas City was spread before
them.
After doing full justice to the de-
licious viands, jolly half hour was
spent in joking and story telling.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
We, the bachelors of Kinsley, do
resolve:
First That this is, without excep-
ton, the most pleasant evening we
have ever spent.in our lives.
Second-That we will give a ban
quet and jubilee within two days after
each hen party in town
Third-Thaty if any member of this
club is foolish enough to commit mat
rimony, he shall be compelled to give
an oyster supper to the remaining
Fourth-That we will attend the free
entertainment Friday evening. Febru-
airy %, where the question, lis Mar
riage Failure, is to be debated,
and will give our moral support to
the speakers ON the affirmative side.
Fifth That each member of this
club shall paste a copy of these reso-
lutions ON the wall of his room.
Sixth-That copies of these resolu-
tion~ be sent to the city papers for
publication.
| When it was announced from the
housetops, recently, that the worms
had turned and that the bachelors of
the city, tired of sitting around and
hearing IF the good times had at the
hen parties, had decided to take the
matter into their own hands and en-
tertain themselves, there was conster-
nation among the maidens and "a hur-
rying to and fro such as had not been
known for a long time.
1t was finally decided to meet at
Miss Bingham > at the same time the
bachelors met across the road and to
then be guided by circumstances,
The bachelors assembled as recount
ed above but our correspondent fails
to tell how, when each one arrived he
was eagerly importuned for news OF
the enemy: nor is there any mention
made of the fact that when it was time
to proceed to Reads for refreshments,
they nearly lost their suppers while
trying to determine who should first
take the risk of getting outside of the
door. 1t was finally suggested tina,
SCOUTS should be sent out, which was
done They soon returned with the
report that the enemy seemed to be
having q hilarious time behind closed
DOORS. 1t was then deemed safe to
make a run for it and they all arrived
without mishap at Reads but SO puff
ed up and vain.lorious over thei,
toll and successful maueuver that they
promptly adopted set OF resolutions
/ 1t is safe to say that had those resO

Loso's, and they found themselves W

who should make the first venture, bu
