SECOND HADD0CK DINNER
GIVEN BY MEMBERS OFF THE IN
DIANAPOLIS MAENNERCHOR.
Minstrel First Part Included in the
Entertainment-List of the
Men Present.

The second stag paddock dinner by men,
bers of the Maennerchor was given last
night. From the reading of the invitations
sent out by the committee it was suggested
that a surprise awaited each member while
at the dining table. Two long tables,
reaching the full length Of the ordinary
upstairs, were filled with the recipients of
the invitations. Evidently it was a hungry
crowd, for at the least waste of time in
the serving of the food a changing of
bottles and rafting of dishes was made.
John z. Frenzel was the prime mover in
the way of looking after the affair and
acted as POSTMASTER. When the din of
rafting glassware became too violent Mr..
Frenzel arose and with a brief speech
always satisfied the n~oisemakers. There
was so long a wait between the first and
second courses that the noise became the
greatest. Knowing that fish was to be
among the articles of food served Mr..
Frenzel called on Mortimer lowering, who
is regarded as a fisherman and a good hand
at telling fish stories, TO appease the crowd
with a short recital of his experiences
while on his many angling trips.
To this Mr.. lowering complied in a most
humorous name At the close of his
storytelling the walters were observed en-

on which were two hug paddock. As soon
as a platter was emptied of its contents
another was TO be had at close range.
When the fish had been eaten Mr.. FrenZel
arose and again said he had another sur
prise for the guests. He asked each men,
Der TO rise and go above stairs, where
coffee and cigars were to be had. This was
done, and while the members were enjoy
ing themselves the curtain of the stage
went up on a magnificent minstrel first
part. Here was seated another crowd of

the minstrel performers was MOntani
