The Wurra Wurra Club

The attendance was perfect; that is to say, every member present was there when the whistle blew. In case where it was not likewise it was otherwise. However, the president, MT. Dr. Adam, had no difficulty in calling the meeting to order. and from then until the bitter end harmony reigned within, although it rained cats and dogs without The moments of the prior meeting held be. fore were read in unison by George Hardenbergh, the efficient permanent secretary pro tenn, and as an encore he sat down and scowled. The roll. call was omitted at the urgent request of Henry Ives. who said there might be spies of the government present for the purpose of getting names to use in Case of draft for the Mexican war. The Opening Ode was sung by Clarence Humphrey, accompanied by Bert Brewer on his speedometer. Thus ended the opening overture.
 The fat member took a large part of the floor. Mister Pres dent, " said he, "I'd like t' be kind enough t. have somebody tell me whether tn streets, around tn village, is t be considered that they've ben oiled or not. They had lot of oil swashed on in all tn dirt that had ben 'cumulatin' fir a year, then all tn rain come an turned tn roads into frog. ponds O grease an filth; then tn highway Apartment sent teams t scoop ev'Tything off, down t. tn bone, an fin'lv they sprinkled some cracked stun over 1t, in streaks. An now tn mud has gone, but tn ile has went with it, sn' I'm wonderin' whether we've got t' be sat. isfed, tn rest of tn summer, in re- f1ectin' that we had ile in tn mud fir little while any way. Now in order t excape bein' insulted by tn chair, MT. Pres dent, I'll state that I offers that as a motion.
 twill the gentleman kindly repeat the motion ?' said the chair.
 1T objectl" shouted MT. John Reed. "ReDetition is not necessary The gentleman's motion is as clear as the mud he has been talking about. shall vote in favor of it. ''
 Before the chair could make a ruling Judge Ford was on his feet-partly on his own feet and partly on one of Lew Rhoades's feet, where he didn't finger long, however-and explaining how a prior engagement prevented his attend. ance at the University Club dinner at MT. Stoeckel's, Friday evening. He said he had been told, however, that the affair was in every way a delightful cuccacc apd ha fbouunt .or,a of tho members who represented the w. W. Club at the feast should render report either Brother Rob. Peirce or Score. tary George Hardenbergh. Both gen. tlemen declined to attempt to describe the joys of tho affair, insisting that they couldn't do it justice, and nom- | mated Mayor Clint Roraback to report on the festivities, all of which he saw, and part of which he was.
 The Mayor said that because of the i fact that he had been part of it. he deemed it unbecoming in him to dilate upon it. Whereupon the fat member got up and stated that his son. in.l law had attended the feast. "He brung home two boxes of Hewler's candy to his wife-he said the French Demon. liko waiter give him one box, an he found t'other in Winsted mans over. coat pocket when he put the coat on by mistake while he was gittin' ready U come home. Twas a high class affair, my son In law said, and they was most two hundred college hjgh-brows there, and tn hull thing was right up to tn Stoeckel standard, but they sort O | h c Al. famous orators, although they had some good home talent talks, in honor O tn Clubs goth university, an he said Clint was jest as goJd as tn best on lem, if not more so. He said Doctor Goddard's Stoeckel toast, in Spanish, or Greek, or Turkish M rocco, or suth. in with 'Merican translation fir tn benefit O Hartford mem bers, wasn't t down on tn progum but it tickled tn crowd as much as anything else onless twas tn grape juice punch. But my son-in.law thort Paine ort t have a toast, too, as momentum of his train- in an conductorin' of tn Chloral Union; so he's fixed up one, in tn same kind O language as Goddard 's, an ast me t. bring it here an have tn sec 'tary read it an git it adopted by this Club. An make n motion, Mr. Pres s'dent, that it be now so done, ac. cordin'.''
 The fat member then handed the toast and translation to Secretary Har- denbergh, who read, as follows:
 "Hic to Richmondus P. Painorium, splendicimus tonkunstler ct piscator. ialentum conductorowitzky auf dem Litchfeld County Choralischer Unum vie teacher ct exercirmeister second zwei nobody, das macht nix aus. y
