C.lEENHEAD CLUB HOLDS
SIXTH annual BANQUET
Enjoyable Evening is Spent in Dis
cussion of Duck Dinner and Re-
counting Experiences of Hunt

The Green Head Club enjoyed its
sixth annual banquet last Monday
night and was so thoroughly com
plete in every detail that goes to.
ward an evening of festivity, as &c
set a mark for similar occasions that
may follow.
The banquet was prepared by Ca.
terer Jack Adams, the tables heing
set in the large dining room of his
cafe and the general verdict was
that Jack had performed his share
in the program of the evening most
royalty. The tables were neatly ar
ranged and tastefully decorated and
when the fifty-one diners were seated
the room presented most pleasing
effect
The courses were many but the
end was, as all ends are, finally
reached when the intellectual part
of the feast was introduced. In the
absence of President l. H. Kent, the
Office of POSTMASTER of the evening
was allotted to e. L. Bingham an
honorary member of the club. Many
of the members were called upon
and each responded according to his
lights either in story or speech and
proved their capability in this as
they had on the field of carnage.
Clarence Harrell a former mem
Der of the club evidenced his abiding
attachment for the organization by
making trip from Tonopah for the
purpose of meeting with his old team
mates.
Among the speakers called upon
was Fred Grob who created conster-
nation in the gathering by stating
that he was an amateur and recently
admitted to club membership and on
the eve of the Sunday hunt was re-
minded by his brother to take full
purse along with him. When Fred
stated that on his return his purse
was empty but his bag was full to
the limit, it was remarked that only
an amateur would so openly expose
the secret of successful hunters. and
there is doubtless awaiting this rash
publicfst a court martial that may
lead to a modification of his tales OF
the real life of a hunter on the
marshes.
John R. Post ever to be found in
the roster of the distinguished ran
true to form on this occasion being
introduced as the low man, which
means that as result of a days
shooting his bag contained fewer
birds than his fellow huntsman.
Charlie Cress as captain of the
winning team proved his sportsman
like qualities in the modest manner
in which he received his honors and
Harry Yetter captain of the losing
team also proved that he is a good
loser, through his good natured ac-
ceptance of his defeat. Incidentally
Captain Yetter has challenged the
winners in behalf of his team. to
shoot to take place November 4.
In connection with the evening
entertainment there is pending
against Charlie Hoover a charge of
pilfering a twelfth of a dozen of
ducks The evidence thus far is on
ly circumstantial but is convincing
to the ordinary man.
The musical part of the program
was as to be expected in keeping
with the other delightful features
of the evening.
