The Wurra Wurra Club

While the last meeting of the Club wss in progress, Dr. Ross kept the presiding officers chair warm, and the proceedings proceeded more or less smoothly after they got going,
 The first real important business was a motion offered by Horace Humphrey, that the next coon supper given at Hen. Ives cottage at Twin Lakes, be attended by the Club, in a body. Selectman Peirce suggested that in view of the fact that there might be some preliminary formalities to be gone through with, in the way of considering and formally ac- cepting an invitation, before the next supper is served, 1t might be we'll to amend the motion with proviso cover ing that delicate point. Mir. Ives promptly got up and said no such pro- viso need beprovided. "Come one, come all," said he, "and welcome"
 "When Is the next coon supper to be served'" inquired Victor, Coe.
 ''Last week Sunday, Twas Ives's prompt reply. Whereupon Horace Humphrey withdrew his motion and went home. | Joe Parsons offered a resolution of congratulation to the independent lime companies on the consumnation of a gentlemen's agreement or community of interest, whereby they have taken the lime trust into their camp. Selectman Peirce came forward again with eau ton. Congratulations may be in order," said he, "but they're most always thank less, and any how there's nothing senti- mental about the transaction. to call for any gush from us. It isn't like we'd ding, or a wind-faIl, or first baby" So that matter was dropped, and motion substituted to appropriate $Ioo from the treasury to buy loving cup for Ava Felten and present it to him immediately, with a request that he put something in to it before he moves to Danbury. #h Archie Adam offered a motion that since Highway Commissioner MacDon- aid has signified his intention of complet- ing the trunk line of good road between the East Canaan school house, the Com missioner be made an honorary member of the. Club. John VanDeusen suggest ed that it might be we'll to wait until the stretch of road In question is completed, before crowding the occupants of the honorary seat any more. The matter was tabled. .N.
 Henry Whitford said he would like to get the sense of the meeting on the ad- visibility of getting up a dramatic per formance of some kind, for the double purpose of amusing the public and Se- plenishing the Clubs treasury. "It would cost the Club nothing to produce it, and there's lots of money in it." he said. "Those of you who attended the Mock Trial"
 (Which one?" asked the fat member, breaking in. "They's ben so many ofm lately-which one d'you mean'"
 s'I said the Mock Trial, didn't I3" said Wnitford, reprovingly.
 An asked which one, didn't I?" re- torted the fat member. At this point Judge Ford jumped up and moved that the whole matter be dropped And it dropped.
 Fred Collin, chairman of the commit tee on sidewalks, requested that his com mittee be given leave to disband. "I have the honor to report" said he, "that there seems to be no further excuse for the committees existence it is plain that every property owner is now satis fled that his or her sidewalk is good enough. and that none of them needs to be bettered. I would therefore request that my committee be gratefully thanked and discharged"
 The fat member moved to amend by emitting the thanks. The amendment was voted down, and another amend ment, to suspend the committee instead of discharging it, was accepted and the committee hung up.
 Dr. Camp reminded the meeting that the first business session of the Canaan Business Mems Association, to be held on the first Thursday evening in Novem- Der, would be not only important but en- joyable, and the Club voted unanimously to attend in body.
 After instructing the secretary to write to the clerk of the weather, telling him what the Club thinks of him, the meet ing adjourned.
