Every Appointment of the Club Up-
te-date and Extremely Com
Portable.


took place on Friday night on which
occasion tirst-class lunch was served
to about seventy-fve Of the members
who wese present and the evening was
spent In a pleasant social manner
amid the comfortable surroundings Of
the club.
The membership Of the club has
run up to 12O and it will probably be
double that number before the expir-
alton of the summber. The furnish
ings and supplies have been purchased
and will be paid for out of the men,
bership receipts already in the treas
ury, there being sufficient to leave
substantial margin.
The Club Rooms were fitted up by
the Lewistown Furniture Company
and the work in every respect is first
class. The walls Of the various rooms
are covered with first quality of
landscape wall paper with picture
moulding and very picturesque bord-
ering. They are undoubtedly among
the best fitted up rooms in the state
and will fill a long felt want among
the business men Of the city who care
to have quiet aud comfortable place
to read the latest news and talk with
their friends after business hours.
The rooms are furnished in a man
ner which gives stability as well a.
elegance and comfort to the aspect o.
the establishment. The furniture
which was put in by the Lewistown
Furniture Co. is of quarter sawed pol
ished oak with leather upholstering
The floors of the library and private
writing room are covered with ele.
giant Wilton rugs furnished by the
company while the tables in both
rooms are Of solid quarter sawed oak
with hard polished finish.
In the billiard room there is a small
but up-to-date buffet where liquid re
freshments of all kinds can be pro
cured; this department is directly un
der the management of Chas. Read
formerly of the Montana Club in Hell
ena. A number of elegantly leather
upholstered card tables occupy part O
the floor space; these and the chair.
were furnished by the LewistOwI
Furniture Company who also pro.
cured the Brunswick alke-Callendel
billiard table which has been pur.
chased by the club. The pool table
formerly owned by the Lewistown
club has been installed and there is
no doubt but that these two tables
are the best in the city.
The reading room is the acme Of
comfort and The library table is Gov
cred with profusion of the best ma
gazine literature of the day. The
big dailies are in evidence on the table
in the writing room and this section
of the club would certainly tempt a
man to read who is not addicted to
spending his evenings in SO quiet a
manner.
1t is proposed at an early date to
partition the main room SO as to make
the billiard room separate from the
buffet and the partition has already
been ordered through the Lewistown
Furniture Co. The hallway is fur
nished with settee and an antique
umbrella stand, while the floor is cov-
cred with high grade of linoleum es-
pecially procured by the Lewistown
Furniture Co. for that purpose.
The electric lighting is simply per
feet, while modern lavatOry has
been installed at the club A private
telephone booth has been put in for
the accommodation of the members.
The floor of the billiard room will be
covered with rubber mating which is
being obtained through the Lewis
town Furniture Co. The ensemble of
the club rooms is excellent and it
provides an excellent place to while
away an idle hour or to take visitors
to the city for an evenings entertain
ment.
