chicago, May 17-EmpIoyes of the
santa Re railway are being entertained
this month in an unusual manner. and,
| incidentally, thirty-one students of the
University of California, who are fur
nlsnlng the entertainment, are having
the time of their lives. In order to re-
lleve the monotony of running cars,
and repairing track, the management
OF the railway has engaged the glee
and mandolin club of the university to
tour the main line of the system be-
tween Berkeley and Chicago, and give
their concerts at the railway clubs
maintained by the Santa F'e at its di-
vision headquarters
AS result. the railroad is now ring

In order to provide a counter attrac-
ton TO the saloon and to provide some
features not at that time permitted by
the Y M c. A, such as the sale Of to-
bacco and the playing of pool and bill
lizards. the Santa Fe recently organized
about twenty railway clubs, which
have comfortable buildings at the yari-
Gus division headquarters, where the
men may meet evenings or between
runs. These contain reading rooms,
sleeping rooms, restaurants, and facili-
ties for pool and other games. Night
classes are held at some of them.
One of the prominent features of the
club plan has been to provide enter
tainments about once a week in the
form of concerts, readings or lectures,
and talent of the highest order is sent
over the line specially engaged for the
purpose It is in line with this plan
that the college musicians have been
engaged.
