There are many clubs that have for
their most prominent tenets sociability
but none In the vicinity cultivate this
principle 10 a greater extent than the
''what Cheer Social club" II has less
than a membership OF 80 but its finances
are better than many whose membership
Is far larger.
The club has been I'm existance seven
years and every year at this time ban
quet to which the members invite their
friends or at least few OF them Is
given.
Yesterday the seventh annual banquet
took place In springer's hall and the
only drawback 20 the affair was that the
club found Il had too many friends or
that the hall was too small. About 100
were expected but when the banquet was
ready IL was found that there were nearer
200 present

NOT DRESSED FOR THE EVENT.
Two young men. Fred Spencer and
George Smith. had an argument on 'Iapu-
rel Hill avenue yesterday afternoon
which led to a scrap" but as soon as
they got into position for the same, they
saw Mounted Patrolman Luby coming
The fight was declared of temporarily
but later they decided to go TO Neutacon-
kanut Hill and resume hostilities. About
20 young fellows followed the principals
90 the field OF battle. Both Smith and
Spencer were arrayed I'm their best blbs
and fuckers and this included 81 inch
standing collars. In the first round Spen-
Ger landed on Smiths cheek, and drew
blood and as the blood was likely 10
come I'm contact with Mr. Smiths high
collar. he declared that he would not do
battle any longer. but would fight Il out
any old time or place. when he did not
have on his Sunday clothes. This decision
did not suit the crowd. but Smith had an
eye to business and would not change his
mind
