POSTPONED
TO TUESDAY

The Mems Dinner Club banquet is
unayoidably postponed from Thurs
day next as announced till next Tues
day evening. the Both of May, at p.
m, at the Early hotel. Messrs. Birch
field & Remler, new owners of the Ear
ly, offer banquet menu that promises
to excel any heretofore provided for
the club. The seating capacity will be
120 persons. AS 80 were served in
April it is expected that the entire 100
plates will be reserved early so mem
bers are requested to reserve plates
for themselves and any friends whom
they may wish to entertain as guests,
before Monday next. 1t is essential
that members who order plates be
present; send a substitute if absence
is necessary. or pay part of the cost,
as though present. This is the most
essential feature of these banqucts,
and If the club is to continue without
regular monthly dues. each memb@
must cooperate In this respect No
requirement is made for attendance
but after a plate is reserved by the
committee 1t is expected that SOMEONE
will appear to occupy the place or pay
the price. This statement is made be-
cause last month seventeen rescrva-
tions were made, which we're not oc-
cupied, and only two of this seventeen
sent the S5c. and if it had not been
for extra visitors who came in at the
last hour. the committee would have
been burdened by having to pay for
the folks who promised to come and
did not and who failed to pay. 1t is
hoped that the plan as originally made
can be carried out so that folks who
want to attend pay for what they get.
and no pay if not in attendance: this
may be carried out if those attend or
pay who order plates.
The banquet will be on the evening
Of Decoration Day, and proper deco
ratons will be carried out, and proper
music provided, if possible
Remember, good time is promised,
a real banquet, only 12O can be accom-
and members come first, if
they reserve first; starting on the
minute of p. m, to be through by
10 p. m; no long. but pithy and witty,
and even very logical and eloquent
speeches, and lots Of fun and Jokes.
II an earlier hour could have been ar.
ranged 1t would have been, but it is
impossible. This time. Hold your ap.
petite till p. m. and you will not re-
sret the denial of usual early dinner
