CLUB HIGH JINKs.
The links at the Commercial CLUB
which started at midnight were up to
the usual mark associated with joint
efforts on the part Of the Commercial
and Press clubs. Refreshments We're
served to the visitors and invited
guests to the number Of about 400 ana
then the decks were cleared and Fisher
Harris, secretary Of the Commercial
club, was introduced as master Of cere-
monies, That urbane pessimIst took
| the old tack and waded In with an
| abandon that surprised those who are
not acquainted with his own special
| brand of oratory MIR, Harris roasted
| everybody and spared none. However,
! for once he was up against the real
! thing when 1t came time for some OF
the Washington men to have an in
| ming. Harris got all that was coming
| TO him to the huge delight of every
| body assembled, including himself,
| Following his address Mr.. Harris intro
| duced Mr. b. S. Young, who gave a
! couple of clever character Rotations

| of honor. He told some good
| stories and generally launched forth
| into a Chauncey M. address that made
| n hit. Two selections by the Apollo
| quartet followed and then came talk
| by Frank II. Hosford. This was one
OF the gems of the evening-or rather
| morning--Mr. Horsford as satirist
demonstrated his ability to hold up his
end OF the log with some to spare. Then
| Judge c. C. Goodwin was called upon
| and delivered characteristic talk. Mr.,
Kent, accompanied by Squire Coop of
| ogden, then rendered a solo. Angus
| Nicholson followed with an imitation
of Fisher Harris in the act OF accepting
the Craftsmanship OF a Democratic con-
venton. Ncholson's speech resulted
In the demand for an encore.
| SENATOR SMooT TALKS.
The speech by Senator Reed Smoot
was the only serious address of the
evening. Mr.. Smoot commenced by
paying tribute to the work OF the
| Washington newspapermen and ther
went on TO talk regarding the re-
sources of the State of Utah and Incl
dentally expressed the desire that the
visitors would do all In their power tC
advance the interests of Utah and the
west generally. The address was lis
tened to with marked affection and wa!
applauded at its conclusion.
Il. c. Snyder one of the Washington
party, followed with a speech OF thanks
ON behalf OF the party. Then came
