Six Handed Euchre..

Mrs. Walter Kibbe Breeder and
her accomplished daughter. Miss
Annie, entertained the card clubs
of the city Friday afternoon in
royal style. Although characteriz-
ed by informality and compliment
tary to her sister, Mrs. J. ]. Cooke

accomplished hospitality and a
large number of players attended.
1t required seven tables to accom-
modate them. The prizes were
won by Mrs. D. H. Heaton, who
captured the ace, Mrs. Will
Atkinson the lone hand, and Mrs.
Otto Staerker the BOBBY. The first
prize of the young ladies went to
Miss Finney, the consolation to
Miss Buchel. In the guests cut
Miss Mary Cram was the fortunate
one and was presented a potted
begonia. From a hidden recess
the Mexican string band discoursed
melody to the inspiring strains of
which the ladies quaffed in exhil
arant punch during the games and
the distribution of a delectablc two
course menu served in elegant
style by the thoughtful hostesses
and their charming coterie of as
sistants, Mesdames Robert Breeder
and VIII Atkinson and Miss VIII
lie Mayfeld, was greatly enjoyed.
Among the guests were noted
these visitors in Cuero: Mrs. Chas.
Kenper, Mrs. Chester Woodwork,

The HERALD regarding change
of schedule on the Rio Grande rail-
road, as has been done heretofore,
usually about the first of June, the
train going down in the late after

men an opportunity to spend their
nights at the Point. Not being
possessed of the necessary infor-
nation, a HERALD man interviewed
G. T. Porter, general agent, re-
garding the change. Mr.. Porter
said the change would probably be
made soon, although he had no
instructions in the matter yet.

doubt the customary change will
be made, or at least one equally
satisfactory.
