Bazaar Omcers Elected.
At a meeting of the members of the
Hussars Club last night in the club
rooms, plans for the bazaar to be held
Feb. 9-19, were discussed and commit
tees appointed to undertake the vari-
Gus departments of work in connec-
ton with the bazaar. The meeting
was largely attended, and much inter-
est was manifested. Officers were
elected and the report of the commit
tees appointed at the last meeting were
received.
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., outlined
in brief the work which had been ac-
complished by those who had been
plotting the arrangements. and the
work which had been done. 1t was,
ne said, the sense of the previous meet
ing that the bazaar be run as far as
practicable on an intensive plan, the
various departments being so arranged
as to combine business and pleasure,
so that those who came to the bazaar
for pleasures sake might have an OPP
portunity to spend their money by slow
music.
The report of the committee appoint
ed to determine the practicability of
constructing a temporary dance hall
in the horseshoe in the rear of the arm
DRY was adverse. 1t was decided to
convert the billiard room into a dance
hall, and to inclose the upper southern
piazza so as to afford a promenade
that might relieve any temporary con-
gestion occasioned by the limited d.
mensions of the hall.
Will Have n Cafe.
The plan for a restaurant was also
abandoned, and instead it was decided
to have cafe where coffee and sand
witches would be served free of charge
to the visiting military. 1t was thought
that the management of a restaurant
of any proportions would entail too
much work on the ladies and others
who had that feature of the bazaar
in charge The cafe will be located in
the rooms now used as smoking rooms
The armory will be fitted up for the
accommodation of the members of the
club, while not in attendance on the
bazaar.
For purposes of amusement and
profit, the bazaar was divided into de-
partments, a committee being appoint
ed to conduct the entertainment and
sales in each of the departments. 1t
is the purpose of the General Commit
tee that in working UP the bazaar the
| aim of all of the committees be to
make the various departments so at
tractive that the bazaar shall be look
ed upon by everybody as place where
a pleasant hour may be spent at any
time.
Departments of the Bazaar.
Among the departments will be the
railing booth, ice cream parlor, Lili-
putian table. candy booth, lemonade
stand, country store, chocolate table,
fancy work department, shooting gal
lery, music and dancing. The gentle
men comprising the various commit
tees will begin work at once. They
will be aided by the ladies in nearly all
of the departments.
An automobile, presented by Mr.. T.
A. Bryson. will be awarded during the
bazaar. Mr.. S. f. Theus was appoint
ed to conduct the sale. His idea is to
have twenty assistants.
The Liliputian table will be one of
the features of the bazaar. On this
| table will be found all sorts of small
articles-games, dolls, merchandise.
etc. Some of these articles will be out
of the ordinary; for instance, there
will be a line of musical animals
which, by proper adjustment, will
| emit music of various kinds. The
country store, too will be made fea-
| ture. The merchants of the city have
responded unstintingly to the cause
! of the bazaar, and there will be a
great deal of merchandise and produce
to be disposed of in this department,
Shooting Gallery n Feature.
The shooting gallery will be under
the south piazza, where it was at the
last bazaar. Prizes will be offered,
among which will be handsome rifle,
to be shot for by the ladies. other
prizes for gentlemen will also be Of
fered by the committee and it is ex-
pected that this department will be
popular one.
1t was decided to issue invitations
presence and soliciting their aid. These
invitations were issued shortly after
the meeting, and were signed by Capt.
Gordon. They contained reply postal
cards, and the officers ask that all
who receive invitations answer same.
At the meeting last night Capt. W.
w. Gordon was elected chairman of
the Executive COMMITTEES: Lieut.. Isa-
dore Silverberg, vice chairman, and
Capt !. c. Postell, treasurer The of
ficers were appointed by the Executive
Committee of the club some time ago
and have been actively engaged in
working up the bazaar since that time.
The election last night was merely a
ratification.
Ladies Committees.
A meeting of the ladies interested in
the bazaar was called yesterday morn
ing by Mrs. w. w. Gordon, Jr The
meeting was in the club rooms, and
was an informal one, but much inter-
est was manifested. The ladies de-
cided to request the members of the
club to hand to the chairman of the
Executive Committee the names of all
ladies in their families who would con-
tribute toward the success of the ba-
zaar by serving on one of the COM
mttees.
In accordance with this request
Chairman Gordon last night asked that
such names be reported at once, so
that another meeting of the ladies may
be called for next week, at which the
various committees may be decided
upon. The ladies have already assist
ed the General Committee by donations
of fancy work, and 1t is their purpose
TO take an active part in the bazaar.
