Entertainment Postponed

The entertainment and dance which the
members of Tamalpais Camp of the
Woodmen of the World had planned for
last Wednesday night, but which had to
be postponed on account of the heavy
downpour, will be given on the night of

sent several surprises.
A most interesting lecture was delivered
before the Corona Club, the literary as
sociation Of the ladies of the Mission dis
trict, at its last held meeting. 1t was on
Common Sense Reading by Miss Jen-
ME Long, who deplored the decadence of
the systematic study of good reading and
writing in the public schools, saying that
Rs so thoroughly taught to our grand
mothers which is thoroughly taught now
Miss Long illustrated her remarks by
the reading of simple themes from the
Bible, Longfellow and Bryant and hu-
n.orous selections, which were highly ap-
preciated by the large audience, in which
there were many ladies of other clubs Of
this city. Miss Carolyn Lunt gave a
short talk on Domestic Science" Mrs
E. Dewys entertained with instrumental
selections, and Madame Darlington, who
has a fine soprano voice of wide range,
delighted her hearers with vocal numbers.
This club continues to grow in numbers
and it is developing wonderful desire
on the part of the members to learn more
of literature and appreciate it,

CoMMEMoRATIoN OF
EVACUATION DAY
San Francisco Society of New Yorkers
Will Partake Of
RandI1ef

The San Francisco Society Of New
Yorkers will hold it's second annual BAN
quet in the Occidental tomorrow night
in celebration of the day on which the
last of the British troops marched out OF
New York and George Washington and
the Continentals marched in via the Bow
cry.
Major H. P. Bush, secretary Of the soci-
ETY., in the invitation to the members to
take part in the festivities, says:
'And when good digestion has waited
on appetite long enough to satisfy it. be-
fore offering the final tip let US discuss
the legends and traditions which have
cast their glamor over Manhattan Island
and its famous city. In the old DuIch
archives a view Of New Amsterdam In
1910 shows prominently a fort, jail,
gallows a. pillory, several taverns and
stores, and incidentally some houses.
While the gallows and pillory are gone.
there are now several more tavernS and
stores and some more houses. As late
as 1874 old Jacob Van Der Water, the
Mayor of New Orange, had, as part OF his
duty, to make the rounds of the city
every morning, unlocking the gates. Inc
Mayor Of New York Is not that kind or
a 'rounder' these days, but he doubtless
has harder work to keep the city from be-
ing stolen. But as has been well put;
Hail. mighty city; high must be his fame
who round thy bounds at sunrise now should
walk;
Still art thou lovely. whatsoeer thy name
New Amsterdam, New Orange or New York
"Let US discuss the birth and growth
of the Empire State and the history and
progress of The City of the New World
knowing that in 1789 1t was officially de-
creed by the powers that be that there
were only 300 in society," let US guess
at the conundrum Of why it has taken
hundred years to add hundred to the
list, while at the same time the increas-
ing wealth, culture and brains OF the na-
ton congregate there from all the States.
Is d democracy fatal to the growth OF
society; and do republican institutions
foster the growth Of everything but that?
Must the republic and the democracy give
way to society or will the survival OF
the fttest' result in a counter decreeE
Those of US not in society can easily
take 2. fall out of it on these lines"
