The Wurra Wurra Club.

arrived, pr. Lee blew his horn to call the meeting to order, and without wait ing another minute for the arrival of l President Sam Reel, who was away some where electioneering for Al, Hubbard for representative, proceeded to transact the regular business. The Opening Dirge was hummed by Horace Hum- phrey in a sort of sasfrilly key, with trilling variations on a jewsharp, and Druggist Farnum recited the moments of the previous meeting. The chair then called for business under the regular order "Move we adjourn" said Seneca Strong, the sexton of the Clubroom, who had been asleep near the door. Sheriff Rhoades induced him to withdraw his motion in double-quick time, and he went out.
 Judge Whiulesey got ur. "I move you sir" he said, "that the chair be empower ed to appoint a committee to erect flag pole, procure suitable flag, and flaunt it to the murmuring breezes in celebra- ton of civic awakening that has at last arrived and is manifesting itself in the construction of sidewalks in various places about town, and the vastly improv- ed appearance of the village that is bound to result"
 The motion was enthusiastically sec onded and unanimously carried, and the chair appointed on the committee Donnie O'Neil. Mayor Rowe, O. T. Vosburgh and Dr. Corwin, with power to engage the band for the dedication of the pole and hire Frank Hitchcock to deliver the oration.
 Henry Ives got up and said he would like to get the sense ot the meeting on the advisability of memorializing the Business Mems Association, at their next meeting, to organize an automobile tour | through the Berkshires and a dinner at the Red Lion Inn at Stockbridge, after the manner of the Winsted Association, as sign to all creation that they are alive.
 President Lyles, of the Association, said he was willing to cooperate in any enterprise calculated to give the organiza- ton the appearance of life, but would hesitate before endorsing, a move to pattern after any other Association. He thought 1t would be best now to wait 1 until later and make it a sleighride to Winsted and big ball there with the Winsted brethren as invited guests.
 "There is no motion before the house" '" said the chair "Will somebody offer a motion?"
 "Moye we adjourn" screamed Seneca Strong, entering the door. The sheriff chased him out again.
 Ned Roberts offered a motion that the Club have "ladies' night" and tender a reception to the twenty suffragists who had the courage to go to the polls and vote, in town meeting.
 Ozzie Vosburgh offered an amendment that the list of guests be expanded to em- brace the ladies who did not vote, as well.
 Roberts declined to accept the amend ment, and it was up to the meeting. The amendment was adopted, and the motion, as amended, was carried and the chair appointed Dr. Adam and pr. Camp a committee to arrange for the reception.
 MT. Herriman moved that a committee be named to investigate the recent Ii. cense vote ito ascertain why the majority for license was not larger"
 Mayor Rowe moved an amendment, changing the motion to read, "to as6er- tain why the majority for license was so large"
 ] There was free-for-all wrangle over this amendment, in which Judge Ford, Clint Roraback, Dan Sweeney and Billie Bullock took part, but the controversy was cut short by motion of Allyn Fuller, that the whole bloomin' business be re- ferred to the joint standing committee on unfinished business.
 Joe Parsons moved that Brothers Reel, Hubbard and Whtford, rival candidates for election as representative, be per suaded to submit the contest to arbitra- ton by fellow members of the Club This started a row that threatened to develop into riot, which was cut short by Seneca blowing out the lights,
