The Bridgewater Social club, consist
ing Of about 20 jolly masculine souls
with special fondness for whist, en-
tertained their New Milford neighbors
right royalty on Monday evening,
sending them home in the wee sma'
hours of the next morning with recol-
lections which will remain many a
day, Of most delightful evening. The
gathering was held in the Town hall
and at $50 o'clock SO men sat down at
the tables and the aroma from SO cigars
mingled in riotous confusion. The
guests from New Milford were as fol-
lows: I. B. Bristol, N. Staub, G.. F.
Pixley, V. P. Staub, DR. w. E. Battam,
J. F. Adds, George Warner, Fred j.
Turrill, J. Fred McEwen, Stephen G.

D. E. Soule, Charles Planz, DR. G. E.
Staub, DR. J. H. Staub, J. E. Castle,
M. H. Mallett. Eugene Hapeman of
Cato, N. Y, was also present. BY II
O'Clock, when the summons came to
betake themselves down the hill to Mrs
Thomas Kane's dining room, those
who were already elated over high
scores grew more jubilant, while their
less fortunate fellow-creatures whom
luck had not smiled on in that way,
donned cheerful smiles and had a
pleasant word for all. Every one
knows of Mrs Kane's splendid hospital
ity and abilities as cook and you may
be assured there was no room for dis.
appointment that night; her clam.
chowder, fried oysters, chickens, salads,
sherbet and entrees were par excellence
and her efforts were fully appreciated
by the hungry whist fiends. After
two more hours of playing, these rev.
elers bethought them of the poor,
lonely wives at home who were listen.
| ing for well-known footstep at the
door, and reluctantly started home
ward. Many of the gentlemen from
New Milford have often been enter
tanned in Bridgewater before and
met with the greatest hospitality and
good cheer, but all vote the last the
best.
