However, those that were present were
not lacking IN enthusiasm and many sub

OF conversation was the scheme for a
new clubhouse to be erected on Bright
wood avenue some time in the near
future Plans for the building have ell
ready been submitted 10 the officers Of
the club by several architects, which
are expected to be completed in month.
What is wanted is a large building OF
about a dozen rooms. with plenty OF
windows, and with large piazas run

SPACIOUS automobile sheds are to be pro-

Wagon VS. Auto.

An instance was quoted by Mr. Chand-
lee. He said dispatches had been sent by
the press all over the country. stating
that an automobile had gotten stuck
IN the quicksands OF the Southwest, and
at the time cf writing had sunk up to
the headlights but that the occupants
had escaped. and hopes were enter
tanned for the recovery of the machine.
The article further stated that only two
days before a wagon and two horses had
gotten in the same place and been lost
and never recovered. Mr ChandIee took
exception TO the statement that the
wagon had been lost beyond all hopes
of recovery as not a line had been tele-
graphed about IT, This was given
as one Illustration Of the nOtoriety
forced upon the automobile. where an
ordinary vehicle in the same plight is
