At a meeting of the Husars Club last
night, at which many of the most
prominent members of the club were
present by invitation of the president,
matters relative to the bazaar which
the club purposes to give in the near
future were discussed, and plans for
its conduct were formulated. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that the af-
fair be conducted on large scale, and
committees were appointed to that
end.
The meeting was held in the club
rooms, Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr, pre-
siding, and Mr.. George S. Cargill act
ing as secretary. 1t was determined
to hold the bazaar in February, begin
ming on the 9th, and continuing for a
week or ten days, as the success of
the enterprise warranted. The work
for the various departments was out
lined, and the president instructed to
confer with the ladies concerning the
portion of the work which they will
assume. A meeting of the ladies who
have expressed an intention of aiding
in the bazaar will be called in a few
days.
A committee, consisting of Lieut. Is
adore Silverberg and Lieut.. w. H.
Connerat, Jr., was appointed to make
the necessary arrangements toward
the construction of a temporary dane
ing hall in the horseshoe in the rear
of the armory, should they consider
it advisable. The idea is to have the
enclosure built in, so that there will
be plenty of room for the dancers,
there being no rooms in the club
house which are large enough for the
crowd which the promoters of the ba-
zaar expect to have.
1t was also decided to construct a
shooting gallery under the south porch
of the building. This department of
the bazaar held in 1898, netted a neat
sum, and was productive of a great
as well as the men. The bowling al
leys will also be made a part of
the bazaar.
The entire upper store of the build
ing will be occupied by booths, in
which candy, chocolate, merchandise,
groceries and other things will be sold.
There will be tents with fortune tellers
and rattle corner. Many of the ladies
have interested themselves and have
made fancy work for the booths.
Tee committee on subscriptions re-
ported that they had received nearly
$4,000 in cash and merchandise. Other
committees were appointed to assist
the general committee in order that
more thorough canvass may be made
Capt. Gordon reported, for the COM
mittee, that the merchants had been
generous in their subscriptions and
that but one merchant in the city had
declined to make a donation to the
fund.
1t was decided to conduct a restau-
rant in conjunction with the bazaar
This department will occupy the re-
ception rooms. 1t is the purpose of
those in charge to run the restaurant
on large scale, serving meals, in adj
dition to delicacies and refreshments
No committee was appointed to look
after this portion of the bazaar, as IL
is thought to leave it almost entirely
to the ladies'
The fund realized from the bazaar
will be devoted toward the extinguish-
ment of the mortgage on the arrnory
This amount has been reduced each
year, and the Hussars are anxious to
get the property cleared of encum-
brances as soon as possible. While 1t
is expected to hold a large bazaar
nothing as extensive as the one held
in 1889 will be attempted. The amount
realized at that time was SIS, 900, and
lasted for three weeks.
There will be another meeting of the
club members on Tuesday night at
winch time the committees appointed
last night will report back. On Mon
day night the matter will be brought
before the troop Capt. Gordon has no.
titled all of the members of the troop
to make an extra effort to be present
as the action taken by the troop will
be reported to the meeting on the fol-
lowing night. The proximity of the
date for which the bazaar has been set
will make it necessary for the commit
tees to get to work at once and when
the remaining committees of ladies are
appointed, affairs are expected to shape
