MAINE MEN IN NEW YORK,
An Effort to Increase the Numbers in
the New Society.

The Maine Society in the city of New
York, which was organized last spring
| is in a furnishing condition, and bids
| fair to reflect lasting credit upon itself
| and upon the grand old State whose
standard it holds aloft. The Society
| has now upon its roll 165 residents of
New York and vicinity, who were
either born in Maine, graduated from
ore of it's colleges or universities, or
| had the GOOD sense to marry Maine Wo-
men, even if they themselves were SO
unfortunate as to have been born else
where. But 165 by no means represents
the number of New Workers who are
eligible to membership in the Maine
-, Society; there are doubtless many who
possess the qualifications for member
| ship, but have not, for one reason or
another, joined the Society. The COM
mittea on new members, representing
the various counties of the State, are
| DESTROYS of learning the names and aG-
dressts of any residents of New York
OF the neishboring territory, who are
entitled to membership in the new or
ganization, but have not connected
themselves with it.
|. The Kcnnebec county member of this
committee for the Society is Mr.. Albert
Z. Davies, of No. 256 Broadway N. Y.
If any reader of this paper knows of
|any Kennebec county man, or any
graduate of Bowdoin, Colby, Bates, or
the University of Maine, who lives in
or near New York, Mr.. Davies would
be greatly obliged if such reader would
send the name to him, giving also the
business or home address of the person
lin question. If it happens that the
man you have i'll mind was born in
some other county than Kennebec, the
name and address should be sent just
the same; it will eventually find its
way into the hands of the right COM
mitteeman, who will endeaVor to in
duce such person to join the Society.
[ The Maine Society of New York is
organized and incorporated to cherish
interest in the State of Maine; to pro-
mote good fellowship; to foster social
intercourse, aud to advance the well
fare of members of the Society and of
Maine people generally.
Provision has been made for the cleo
ton CT nonresident members. Such
persons residing outside the State of
New York as desire to become members
may be put upon q roll of nonresident
membership without entrance fee and
upon payment of annual dues of three
dollars. Several prominent Maine men
have alreaoy awaited themselves of the
privilege, and it is hoped that many
others who are now residents of Maine,
or who We're formerly so, will become
nonresident members of the ASsocia-
ton. A nonresident membership will
ertitle them to attend all the functions
of the club receive the literature of the
club, and when visiting the city. re-
ceive such attention from the officers of
the association as they will cheerfully
give to any resident of the State of
Maine.
The Society Field its annual dinner at
the Hotel Manhattan on Tuesday,
November 10, ct which were present,
besides Is members and their wives,
Major Holman r. Day of Governor
Hills staff and Mayor Davis of Wa
terville, who brought greetings from
the Pine Tree State. Major Day re-
cited some of his poems. which had the
real Maine favor.
Any reader of this paper who can as
sist this association kindly correspond
with Mr.. Davies.
