YACHT CLUBS
BIC SMOKER.
One Of the Most Successful
Events of the Season at
the Club House.
MANY entertainers.
Everything Was in the Best of
Style and Nothing Was Lack
Ing for a Good Time.

The first smoker in the Raritan
4 Yacht Clubs new home was held last
night and no more successful affair
of the kind ever took place in this
city. The attendance was large, the
entertainment was high class, the
smoking supplies and refreshments
were of the best and the supper was
nonpareil and was served in fault
less style, at small tables about the
room, by colored walters.
The standing entertainment COM
mittee had made all arrangements
and nothing had been left undone
for the pleasure OF the guests who
numbered about seventy-five mem
bers and friends. The affair was
held on the lower floor of the house,
the piano being placed on the stair
landing, which made an excellent
stage.
The program was most entertain
ing and every one of the artists was
leader in his line. The magician,
Mr.. Maurice, one of the most prom
inent sleight-of-hand performers in
the country, appeared for the second
time before a Perth Amboy audience
and many of his tricks were nothing
short of marvellous, calling forth
loud applause.
Mr.. Murray, a well-known soloist,
won his bearers with his first selec-
ton, possessing a rich, mellow voice
which seemed to be suited to any
cfx,1O of I,n
number.
Entertainer O'Donnell was one of
the most witty monologue artists
ever heard here. He appeared here
once before at a smoker given by the
well-remembered Washington Club.

ing it mildly. tfis dialect stories
