ablaze with lights and beautified
by the most choice decorations.
Everybody was there, the ladies
and gentlemen present enjoyed a
most pleasant evening, aud the
members We'd with each other in
their hospitable attentions to their
guests. Most elegant refreshments
were served and keenly en-.
joyed by all present. 1t is the pur-
pose OF the club to revive the |
ladies reception day, which was
originally the End Thursday of each

club purposes, which formerly were
occupied by Offices. We bespeak
