This was the most important meet
ing held by the Club since its decision
to expand its boundaries and take in
men from the adjoining municipalities.
There was much enthusiasm display
ed when the budget committee made
such an excellent report of their work
during the past fortnight. The Club
starts the year with brilliant pros
poets for II of the most successful
seasons in its career. Many leading
Republicans, both local and from near
by cities, had applications in at the
meeting to have their names placed
on the roll of members.
The election of officers for the en-
suing year occupied an important
place in the evenings doings. The

after more than a years service
abroad and would shortly be back to
take up his duties.
