TALLY WAC CLUB WILL
ESTABLISH A CAMP
Members Anticipate a Fine
Outing.
Place for the Camp is Not Decided
Upon-Oficers are Working Out
the Plan.

The Tally Wag club is planning for
q big outing this summer to last two

choice spot along one of the Marion
county rivers or perhaps on Lake
Erie and set up a camp that will ac-
comodate about so Fully that many Of
the club members have already agreed
to go and the outing is certain to be
one OF the most pleasureable affairs
ever attempted by the club.
II suitable arrangements can be
made with the management Of the
Columbus, Delaware and Marion COM
pany, it is possible that the camp will
be located at Marion park. In that
event the number of campers would
be much larger as it would be possi-
bic for many to spend their evening
and nights at the camp and return
TO work on the early cars.
President George Schweinfurth and
the social committeeman of the club
are working on details and a definite
announcement Is expected within a

CALLED OFF
Tally Wag Boys Will Not
Give Vaudeville Show.

The vaudeville show which was to
have been given by the Tally Wag
club during the month OF August will
not occur. owing to the failure of
tn eclub officers to make satisfactory
arrangements with Manager Howell,
of Columbus, who succeeds Manager
M. j. Sullivan, at the Grand, on
August 1. The club planned to have
Ec. f., Sharpless. the renowned ven
triloquist, as a headiner in his new
act, and also to gather some of the
best vaudeville talent in the coun-
try as much as Is available at that
time, thereby giving Marion one of
the greatest performances 1t has ever
witnessed. The terms made with
Manager Sullivan, $50 for the two
nights, was not considered sufficient
by the new manager who demanded
that the receipts be divided 20 per
cent. to the club and 80 per cent. to
himself, the club to pay all of the
expenses incurred in procuring and
arranging the production.
