The Wurra Wurra Club.

With Arthur Freeman in the chair In the unavoidable absence of the president, Sam Camp, the meeting came 10 order without much trouble, and the prelimin- ary exercises went of slick as grease.
 On motion of Freeman Dempsey, a committee of seven, consisting of A. J.. Wigglesworth, was appointed to wait upon Sir Knights Henry B. Ives, Ned Roberts and Dr, H. l.. Ross, who have just joined Hamilton Commandery, Knights Templar, in Bridgeport, and re- quest them to buckle on their trusty swords and put on their millinery and give a street parade, headed by the Ca. naan Citizens Band when the new band uniforms arrive, and escorted by Canaan Hose Company and the Boy Scouts. On a supplementary motion offered by Sam Siegel 1t was voted to have supper and dance in the Town Hall after the parade.
 Seneca Strong, the sexton of the Club room, announced that the new Mayor, ]. C. Roraback, was coming up the stairs, and the chair ordered all hands to stand up and remain standing until the Mayor took his seat. After the Mayor had greeted the assemblage, in a dignifed way, and stuck his cud of gum up under the edge of the presidents desk, he an nounced that it was his purpose to in. thorough investigation into every de- partment of the Fire District and order a general house-cleaning, installing an en- tire new cabinet. "I propose to make this reform administration" he said, "and shall expect the loyal cooperation of every patriotic citizen. l shall well come any suggestions that may be of. fered in regard to the makeup of my cabinet, but reserve the right to reject any and all suggestions. Now I propose to appoint Sam Camp as corporation counsel. Whom would you suggest for that positioni"
 "I think John s. Reed would make a good man for that place" spoke up Joe Parsons.
 "All right; then appoint Sam Camp" said His Honor, the Mayor. "Now who is your choice for highway commissioner to run the snow plowi I'm going to ap- point Tom Butler to that ofice."
 "With all due respect, Your Honor" said Joe Parsons, timidly, "I would sug- gest that Tom Butler would be the right man for the place"
 "Very we'll; shall give the job to Bart Killawee," replied His Honor. "The next plum is that of secretary to the mayor. Have you anybody to suggest for that placer"
 "Is there anything in itr' asked Bank CT Lansing.
 Sure" said the Mayor.
 "WeIl, your Honor," said Lansing, "I think I could handle 1t in connection with my other duties; so if you're agree able I'll take it."
 "All right" replied the Mayor, ,cheerily, "I'm not going to appoint any secretary II can perform the secretary's duties, myself Now the next office is that of"
 "Mr President" shouted Watson Har-  denbergh, putting into the Mayors talk, "I move we have ladies' night, with banquet, to which members may bring their wives and enjoy an enjoyable even ing; and I move that we have it at the hotel with a regular banquet menu, in order that the ladies, who complain that the men have all the banquets to them. selves, may see just how we do run the banquets."
 "I move to amend by making it a so- ciable, in the Clubroom," said the secre- tary. "That wouldn't cost so much, and the ladies would feel more at home at an affair of that kind."
 Undoubtedly" replied Mir. Harden bergh, "but it wouldn't give the ladies the experience of which they complain, with good cause, that we have always had the monopoly. They can organize a sociable, themselves, at any time, but it would be no novelty for them"
 The matter was finally submitted to a committee on arbitration with instruc- tions to report to the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned.
