Pieadinqs.

Having received numerous inquiries
from divers so-called members of the
bar relative to the social entertainment
whschs was given Wednesday evening,
and finding it impossible to reply in
dividuaIly, we beg leave to set the in
quiring brothers minds at rest upon
certain pertinent and material points.
We answer questions propounded
seriatim, to wit.
1. Yes. Owing to the inclemency
of the weather and the dearness of the
fuel the function will be full dress
affair. The brothers, however, will be
required to wear coats in the dining
room. (See social rule 1857. Paper
collars are allowed provided they have
not been turned more than twice.
Also paper flowers fer boutonnieres.

mitted to play whist as we expect a

guardians if desired. This statement

number of inquiries received.
1Gs By much trouble we have at
last succeeded in procuring the left
hind foot of a Welsh rabbit for Judge
