 Just then a telegram was read from Colonel Isaac M tllman, who was un- able to be present, sending his best wishes to the club.

Thc great piles of mail matter on the floor had largely disappeared and the registry department had most of it's matter cleared up.

 The postcards kept on piling up at the office during the day and there were fully 225.0oO of them there last night The clerks expect that they will have to put in full time on sunday clearing up these and the remaining first and fourth-class matter as well as the belated presents which were not mailed on time.
