Nat Storm, who was spending the week with friends over in Delaware County and sent his regrets which were delayed ill transmission and did not arrive until the next day, and so the meeting had to be presided over by the chaplain. Mir. Frank Hitchcock, who took the chair surrounded by great applause from each and all. Where upon Allyn Fuller sang the Opening Ode, to which Henry Whitford played the accompaniment on his exuberance,. which was preceded by the reading of the minutes following the roll call. Then there was something doing.
 Clint Roraback got up and demanded a favorable report from the moral character committee on the nomination of MT. Wilson H. Lee, for honorary membership. Chairman Ed. Warner, of the 'committee, said he was on the very point of point of presenting such a report, with the provision that Mir. Lee attend the meetings at least once a year. The report was accepted and the candidate unanimously elected.
 Clarence Humphrey got up and moved that the Club cooperate in the proposition discussed at the Business Mems Association, that golf links be established somewhere about town. "It is not only fascinating game, T" said he, "but practically n nat:onal game, and a high. toned one. And no town that is up. to date can afford to be without its golf course D
 The fat member said he "didn't have no p'ticlar objection to anybody playin' know nothin' about tn game, but firm what I've read about it, it's a, sort O.

 "Do you offer ttat as a mohion ?'' asked the chair.
 "No, I offer it as substitute for the, billy cop during the heated tenn" re- piled MT. Roberts.
