promptly at $3.50 and will take but a
few moments to finish the business in
hand. Every member in the club is
urged to be present and not come

telephoned that they will be here as
well as men from other cities who are
interested in the game, and the Ard
more Gun club must make good,
which it can and will by concerted
action. Remember the time and place,
