WILL WEAR KILTS


drc.s parade, and will appear in them
o. tue occasion Of The annual parade
Of the club Sept. 80 This action was
decided on at d special meeting Of the
club held Saturday evening because
some Of the members we're so pleased
with tile appearance Of uhe "klliies'
last SATURDAY, Out OF respect to the
tender sensibilities of soma Of the
mem oers the kits worn will not be
tue real Scotch plaids, but will be
such tane c1l RS as pink, Nile green,
crimson ard blue, each mem er being
allowed to select such a shade as in
his opinion is Oest suited t. his Lat
ural complexion.
The action OF the club was tiken
wi5n Il two-fold object One was 10
get a uniform That would show OF the
members 10 coed advantage, as we'll
as one that "ould prevent tue men,
berS from mietaking each otner FOR
coons or deer when the fall cunning
season opens.
The me-ting was held Saturday
evening in the tld wGolen mill at
Jockey hollow, 80 that the skunks
could not get at Them and break up
the meeting, said John W. McD0n-
aid, the president, when lie bad fin
ally found the entrance " the old
M II.
AS soon as the meeting had heen
called TO order TIE matter that was
left unfinished from the last meeting
was brought up, namely, the eXpul-
sion OF those members "ho had Used
the silver nook on receni nsnlug
trip, but as the members concerned
were pr0miuent one and mad agreed
lever to b. guilty Of the practice
again, tney were let off with a sen-
tence Of being compelled 10 listen TO
and the matter was dropped for The
time.
Virgil F. Ayers thought the club
should adopt some distinctive unifocm
that would serve to distinguish them
from the commou herd OF Ordinary
spurtSmen. He said he was more than
pleased at the appearance Of the "kil.
Ties that afternoon, and did not see
why their style Of uniform could not
be adopted with profit to the club.
Martin j. M3Gowan said that his
modesty made him object to the uni.
form. But for his part he believed
that the club should have some sort Of
a costume to wear when they were
hunting that wou prevent the mem [
eersffom shooting each other by mis-
take. He said he had had several
narrow escapes from being taken as !
deer when hunting in Orange by one
Of his Deighbors, Mr.. Ayers who was
a little near sighted
DR.. j. w. Jackson favored the idea
presented by Mr.. Ayers. He had
Scotch blood in his veins and he vas
anxious to see how well th5 kits
would become him.
Clark Shepard objected most decid
edly to kits anu said that the club
were not al as pretty as some Thought |
they were. For his part he w.uted a |
costume when be went !!
out on parade.
The molority OF the clab seemed 70 !
favor the idea Of kits, Blu. the ques-
tion rather hung fire because tine club !
did not know how much the suits |
" Id cost
Q. W. NJ lcher said that as an
An.e lean VINO had been bora in the !
village Of Podunk, Maine, he could
hardy consent to wear such foreign
costume. He wanted it adapted to
the tea that be had been brought no
with, namely one colorsw, enoughin
a sui. He favored the plan II This
idea could he adopted.
Angus Smith now proved himself !
the man for the occasion He arose
In his usual bashful manner and said
that he had been figuring it out all
the evening and found that II he
bought the suits from Sell'em s.
Cheat 'em, the big New York dealers,
be could afford to sell them to the
club so that all he made On them was
LOO per cent profit. |
This generous offer was received
with the applause 1t deserved. A
motion va, made BY Stat Attorney
Hoar that the CLUB buy the suits at
once and parade In them on Septem
Der 81, the suits to be bought Of An.
gus Smith, The motion was carried. |
