The Wurra Wurra Club.

The attendance was good-not what you could call large, but just eomforta- ble average attendance, without crowd ing, and-you knowl just a nice party for doing business. The president, Mir. Philip Orben, was unable to be present. having gone to Hoboken to see lady friend off for China, where she is going to enter the missionary field. The oblig- ing and efficient sexton of the Club, MT. $. Bombproof Strong, nominated Mir. George Roger, the banker, as chairman pro tenn, and the election of Mir. Roger was made unanimous.
 The reading of the Opening Ode, by Mir. Frank Coons, and the singing of the minutes of the last meeting by Mir. Walter Hatmaker were then dispensed with, and the meeting proceeded to do business under the regular order. MT. Joe Parsons, chairman of the com mittee appointed to arrange for Club reception to Rev. E. C. Gillette, recently returned from trip around the world, reported progress. Mir. Dan Sweeney suggested that inasmuch as the feature of the eption-aside from the sponge cake and sasf'rilly-was to be a descrip- tive lecture by Mir. Gillette, on his Inn pressions of the Old World, it would be a good plan to wait until Rev. MT. Travis returns from his vacation, over in York State, and invite him 10 be pres ent as an honorary guest and give a des- cription of his vacation experience.
 Chairman Roger asked Mir. Sweeney if he offered that as a motion.
 No sir, 'said MT. Sweeney, "I offer it as handy device for picking seeds out of pickles" The matter was dropped.
 MT. Watson Hardenbergh, speaking for the committee on decorations for the coming Second Heavies' reunion, said he thought the Club ought to completely cover the front of the Clubhouse with festoonery of bunting and flags, on re- union day, as all the stores and offices, and the residences generally will deco rate in honor of the old soldiers on that day, and on his motion the chair ap- pointed committee to so decorate the clubhouse.
 MT. Frank Whiting called the atten- tion of the members to the statement and figures given by Engineer Burghardt, of the Water Company, and printed in the local paper last week, concerning the wasting of the water, by the consumers, and the necessity for greater economy in the use of it.
 "Do you wish to make a motion1" asked the chair.
 "Yes sir" replied Mir. Whiting. "I move that as a matter of conserving the water supply, every member of this Club who indulges in anything else, cut out the chaser until the reservoir fills up."
 The motion was unanimously seconded by ex-Mayor Rowe, and passed by small majority.
 The secretary read an invitation from Brother J. Henry Roraback, urging his fellow members of the Club to visit his camp at Twin Lakes,in body ,and enjoy the experience of a sail around the lake, and fishing without politics. The date of the outing to be named by the Club.
 The invitation was accepted, with a vote of thanks, and Judge Ford appointed a committee to fix the date and make arrangements.
 On motion of pr. Ross it was voted that all the members, who had received souvenir post cards from Henry B. Ives, on his Knights Templar tour of the continent, meet in the grill-room of the Club, at the close of the present session, and form an auxiliary branch for the Study of Art.
 The meeting then adjourned.
