Eighth Warders Meet the
Ninth at Euchre and
Conquer.

Headed by a brass band, one hundred
and fifty loyal Democrats of the Eighth
ward marched over to the quarters OF
the Ninth Ward Club last evening to en-
gage in friendly euchre tournament
Again the Eighth warders met the enemy
and conquered. The storming of the
Ninth ward battlements was easy.
Register James c. Clarke who marshalled
opposing forces as being the easiest
things he ever met
To sum up the situation, the Ninth
warders were never in the hunt. The
victors carried off all the laurels by a
score of fifteen to five. There were
twenty tables in operation. there being
room for no more
Register Clarke and Commissioner Lewis
superintended the event There were no
bitches or delays and by half-past ten the
tournament had been concluded. Mr.
Clarke announced the result, which was
painful to the losers. Tables Nos. l, 2, 4,
and Is were captured by the Ninth ward,
while the remaining fifteen tables were
carried by the Eighth ward representa-
tives.
1t was great night for the Democrats.
The clubhouse was crowded with mem
bers, who watched the proceedings close
". cheer went up from the winners
followers when the victory was pro-
claimed
Refreshments were then served by a
committee of competent walters. Presi-
dent John w. Queen of the home club de-
livered facetious address on the ability
of his players. 1t was evident he said,
that the club was far more successful in
politics He was pleased to see SO many
