Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
TAKOMA PARK, Md. July 3d. 1904.
The Takoma Club and Library at Takoma
Park was in gala attire last night, the occa-
sion being ladies night" The principal
feature of the evenings entertainment was
a duck pin tournament. which occupied the
alleys during the earlier portion Of the
evening affording much amusement to the
large gathering present. The prizes were
awarded by President Louis P. Shoemaker,
on behalf of the board Of directors of the
club At the conclusion of the tournament
an informal dance was held.
Within the next few days there will be
a reorganization of the club and portion
Of the present club house on Oak avenue
will be dispensed with, owing to the many
financial obligations which have recently
occupied the attention Of the directors of
the club. The billiard and pool room will
be removed to the lower floor and will also
be used for a smoking room. The library
rooms will be condensed and large room
on the first floor adjoining the reception
hall will be used for the large collection Of
books The unoccupied portion of the club
building will be rented out for commercial
purposes. 1t Is the desire Of the board OF
directors Of the club to enlarge again in
the fall provided the former interest in the
club Is revived and increased to some ex-
tent. The bowling alleys will remain in
their present position. This excellent pas
time OF the club has had noticeable boom
within the past few weeks, and has been
very encoura ging to the officers of the club.
The high scores in duck pins for the
month Of July. above the hundred mark.
were announced last night at the club
house. The players and their scores follow
