WESTSIOE CLUB MAY GO UNDER
HAMMER.

The Westside Athletic Clubs pro

The hammer ii the Twenty-eIghth Ju-
dicial Court at Gretna grants the
prayers OF the petitioners in the SUIT
that has been filed TO recover Sl,'5O
balance due as rent on tiye-year lease
of the ground on which the big arena
at McDonoghville stands.
Joseph Schurb, Frank SchurD. Miss
es Elizabeth and Julia SChurb and
John Spies, as natural tutor, are the
plaintiffs in the case. They are the
Joint owners of the 300Xl9O feet OF
ground on which the arena stands, fac

and Franklin streets. II is alleged by
them that they granted a lease on the
property to the Westside Athletic CLUB,
represented by \. ROuprich.
According 20 the terms OF the lease,
which was signed december 10, 1908,
defendant club agreed to pay plaintiffs
the sum of 800 for rent for 1908 and
$500 on the first day of January, 1903,
and each year thereafter. Only $50 OF
the total amount due as rent has been
paid, however, petitioners allege.
Petitioners ask for a judgment in the
sum of $3.50 and for the seizure and
sale of the arena, as well as the 800
chairs, mat and electric light fixtures
contained therein, asserting that they
have a lessons lien thereon.
The Westside Athletic Club has had
court difficulties in the past, the arena
for months at one time being under
seizure and was placed in the hands OF
a receiver, but the tangles were
Strengthened out and the club resumed

Besides \. ROuprich, who is the de
lsigner and builder of the arena and
still actively connected with the club

SWEET SIXTEEN.

The sixteenth anniversary OF Miss
Alta Baker, the charming young
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. b. G. Baker.
was celebrated on November l4th at
3l5 Seguin street.
Many friends, both old and young,
gathered to do honor to Miss Alta and
all were highly pleased with their re-
ception. The fair young hostess was
assisted in receiving by her parents,
who were untiring in their efforts TO
secure the enjoyment of all.
Miss Alta was becomingly attired
in a pretty dress in which she looked
the embodiment of innocence and hap
piness.
At 1870 of the clock a string band
of four pieces halted in front of the
house and rendered serenade selec-
ton, after which they were ushered in
and then dancing was enjoyed.
The young people did not stop to
peer into the misty future, thinking
only of the present when life is depict
ed in its roseate hue, but who knows
what transitions may be brought about
by the hand of time; who can tell what
measure of joy or sorrow are in store
for one in the years to come?
Many manifestations of true friend
ship were made in the bestowal of
presents. Master Charles Bodenger,
in few well-spoken words, presented
Miss Alta with a diamond lavalliere,
the gift of her girl and boy friends.
The refreshments were abundant
and of great variety, and were entic-
ingly arranged, and everyone present
was given to understand that they
we're placed there to be eaten.
| Another feature of the evening was
the cutting of the birthday cake, which
caused much excitement among the
younger folks. The ring went to Miss
Fenner Braai, the thimble to Miss Mag
gle Jacomine, and the coin to John
Tranchina. The party dispersed at !
a. m.

luxury and the resources at his disposal
on the Royal Edward,
The charm of the steamer lies largely In
the variety OF design and the complete
ness OF variety. The beautiful details Of
carving, while reproducing the charm Of
the decorative work of the sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, are
treated with n vigorous individuality
which adds considerably to their interest
In the establishment of the public rooms
the object aimed at has not been so much
to produce q floating palace, as to sur
round the traveller OF refined tastes with
a luxurious temporary home. No detail
for comfort, however, slight, has been
neglected. from such an important matter
as a perfect ventilation system to the
installation OF electric curling tongs in
every state room.
In addition TO this safety equipment
the steamers are divided into ten COM
partments by water tight bulkheRds
while a cellular double bottom has been
fitted from stem 10 stern. The additional
life boats and RATS which have been
recently installed bring their capacity up
to the full complement Of passengers and
crew.
