"Some day is the one day of the

and is still the most popular day for
making disagreeable engagements 1t
is the day that every idle dreamer
chooses to begin the monumental work
that 1t is to make his fame and for

Today is always huddled, crowded.

of the future that seems to have in it
the infinite leisure Of eternity. And SO
we defer till the more convenient sea-
son that never comes what ought to
be done instanter, without taking heed
of our own feelings, our plausible OBJ
jections, and permitting the creeping
paralysis of overmuch debate that
keeps the arm from striking while the
iron is hot
These prophecies that begin with
''some day and a good resolution are
rarely converted into the past tense.
The man of action makes his plans So
berly and takes the facts where he
can get them that will help him to de-

COney Island.

Magnificent steamers, the lure of
the river ride of twenty miles and
the amusement joys that fill Coney
Island, make the trip the most de-
lightful to be had ont of Cincinnati.
Last Sunday there was a cloud
busrt, and it didn't affect at all the
attendance upon the great up-river
resort. No sooner did the rain
cease that the thousands began
coming, and the day was one of the
big ones in the Islands books.
The Clubhouse, famed for It's de-
lightful things to eat, was filled
all afternoon and evening, and it
was much later than schedule time
when the Princess cruised down
stream with the last load of excur-
sionists. The vaudeville, the con-
cessions on the Midway, the era
zy Kitchen" the Dips and sceres
of other joy devices were to capa-
city Sunday, and all during the
season the pleasure seekers may
be sure that at Coney awaits a day
of happiness and fun.

The warm weather has made 1t
possible to open the bathing beach
at Chester Park and with the swing
ing into line of this attraction, the
full battery of amusement at the
popular Winton Place resort, have
been leveled at the Cincinnati pub
lie. Men and women have already
decided that bathing Is to be their
favorite sport this summer and ever
since the opening day, the beach
has been crowded. Manager |. M
Martin has put this department of
his resort in perfect condition. He
recently emptied the lake and
cleaned and secured the lake until
it fairly shoue. Then he filled it
with the very water that flows from
the hydrant in Cincinnati's homes.
The water flows constantly and

Performances are given twice

concerts and free motion pictures
continue as part of Chester s regu-

of the kind which has made the
clubhouse at c he Ster notable
throughout the city, still holds
forth and changes are made weekly
in this entertainment. Performers
from the vaudeville help out in the

ures of the park are now in good
running shape and the visitor will
find a hundred different ways TO
amuse himself.

and nearly every member of the
bartenders were on hand. One

the applicant obligated as a mem
Der. ]. Major Roll was elected
Secretary Treasurer and Business
Agent of tie bartenders' to serve
for one year. Major has always
been one of the enthusiastic mem
bers of the bartenders and there is
no reason why he should not make
good as business agent.
Nominations were held for all
the Offices of the union and at the
next meeting the regular election
will be held which promises to be
interesting.
President Gfroerer who has
served eighteen months declined
another nomination fer the posi-
ton but finally submitted after
making plea to the bartenders
that if they attended the meetings
like they have today, he would
again accept another term.
There is some talk among the
members to fit up a neat little suite
OF club rooms in the near future.
The object is to bring the bartend
ers into closer touch with each
other.
After the regular order of busi-
ness was transacted the meeting
adjourned. The June buttons were
distributed. The color is Blue and
White.
