Where English Clubs Differ.

4 point which strikes American Wis
itOrs to London about our English clubs
Is the social aspect Of them and the
almost complete absence of the bust
ness side. At the Manhattan or the
KnickerbOcker, on the other hand, the
business side prevails. The majority
of members do not drop In merely to
read the papers. hear the latest story
and play billiards or bridge, as over
here. They go In most cases to meet
a man about "a DEAL" to talk over the
business Of the day and discuss the
business of the morrow, or to read up
the finance of the papers. The result il
that when an American becomes a
member OF an English club he hardly
ever uses 1t because Its ways do not
appeal to him. He would say that
there was nothing going on.-The Tat,
Ter.
