The Wurra Wurra Club.

the ceremonies, notwithstanding the absence of the president, MT. N. Harding Watsonbergh, who, it was explained by the veteran and venerable sexton, Mr. s. Bluebeard Strong, was unable to be present, as the buzz-saw at his lumber mill was cutting teeth, and he had to be there to see about it. The meeting was called to order promptly little after the regular hour, by MT. Strong, the veteran and venerable sexton, who announced that the first business on the menu would be the selection of a temporary chairman pro teh, and called for volunteers to run the meeting. Mir. A. l.. Higgins, the Tubal Cain of Church street, got up and said he would tackle the job. He was escorted to the platform by the Canaan Hose Company (Mr. Frank Whiting, foremanO and proceeded to set the wheels to whirling. The Opening Ode was executed by Mir. Lew Rhoades, our obliging and efficient deputy sheriff, as song and dance act, and was cordially applauded in the gallery. Mir. Holsap- pie then read the minutes of the previous meeting, in B flat, with accompaniment by Dewey Garfield, on a concertina. Mayor J. C. Roraback then proceeded to collect the collection, after which the curtain rose on the regular order of busi- ness, and motions were declared in order.
 The fat member got up. "Mister DxagfIant p h.se eosl aFfaw h.n haI vAllaI a fat tobacco cud from the northeast corner of his mouth to the southwest section of it. "It seems | me this Club ort t suggest a suggestion t tn trolley people, con sarnin' tn service turin Burlington fair. They didn't run cars enough t carry tn crowds with decency. Tn day l went up managed t git a seat b'fore tn car started, but there want seat t spare, an lot O passengers was standin' up on tn platforms. Folks kep' gittin' on, all tn way up, an tn conductor kep' yellin' to lem, t git in between tn seatsr an when we got t Burlington was holdin' a fat nigger winch on my lap, an a drunken dago was standin' on my pet corn. They was at least three carloads O passengers on that car, all t once. They ort t ben twice as many cars runnin'.t' Canaan as they was, an ir seems t me it's up t this organization t make a good stiff kick t tn trolley folks"
 "Does the gentleman offer that as a motion?" asked Chairman pro tenn, Higgins.
 "Oh, no." replied the fat member sar- castically. "Not tall, not a tall. I offer it as a paregorical antithesis t George Vogel's prognostication on th' psychology of capillary extinction"
 The chair said he would refer the mat ter to the committee on the Camp Ross Bridge Celebration, and trust to luck.
 "Wa'al, while ye're doin' that, ye might as we'll refer another kick on tn fair ground management, too," said the fat member. Especially about tn grand stand arrangements. Tn grand.stand is jest about half big enough p 'commodate tn people they sell grand-stand tickets to. After tn grand-stand is chock-full they keep right on sellin' tickets an herdin' tn patrons in pen in front O tn seats, like lot O cattle, without no place [ set down an no chanst [ see nothin' that's goin' on, onless they're lucky enough t git up ag'inst tn fence. They ort t label them tickets half fir tn grand-stand seats, an t'other half fir tn grand stand up."
 "Referred to the committee on kicks and kickers," said the chair. "Is there any further business?"
 Mir. s. Bluebeard Strong, the veteran and venerable sexton, said he would like to express few expressions with refer ence to the approaching town meeting and the importance of voting right on the license question; but Mir. J. Clinton Roraback jumped up and objected to any attempt to introduce politics into the de. Alterations of the Club. The chair sus- taincd the objection, and the veteran and venerable sexton sadly sat down.
 Ex-Mayor Rowe said he would like to move, if it were permissible, that the Club support the candidacles of those of its members who were candidates for office on the town tickets, at the forth coming election. Mir. Ives, (H. B. re- torted that inasmuch as every candidate on each ticket-barring the ladies who were running for library and school ot- fices-is a member of the Club, it would be inadvisable to pledge the organization to support them all, as the result would tend 10 complicate matters in the voting booths. Mir. Rowe consented to with draw his motion, and in order to forestall any further difficulties the chair declared the meeting adjourned.
