III NEW MEMBERS
FOR THE CITY CLUB
Seventy Elected to Member
ship and 81 Present AppH-
cations During Week.

Seventy new members were elected
to the City Club at luncheon OF the
committee on membership yesterday
and the various team captains pre-
sented fifty-seven new applications.
This makes a total of 127 new MEM
bers during the past week.
Announcement was made that Sen
ator Walsh will address the club
members Tuesday night on the occa-
sion of new members night 1t is the
! purpose of the board of governors to
have the large number of new menu
bers become acquainted with each
other and with the old members.
Family Features Attract.
The features of the new club pro:
viding accommodations and attrac-
tions for the wives and families OF
the club members have met with gen.
eral approval.
A canvas of the governmental.
business men and other residents of
this city convinces the management
of the club that there are at least
1000 men in Washington who are
eligible for membership and whose
/, financial income and standing would
seem to make it reasonably certain
that the great majority of them
would naturally wish to avail them
selves of the privileges. 1t is there
fore felt that the limit of 1.500 resi-
dent membership is not only con-
servative. but is figure which will
be easily and quickly reached.
|. The Boston City Club has resident
membership of 5000 and a waiting
list of several hundred. 1t seems
reasonable to expect. therefore, that
the City Club in Washington will
easily reach it's proposed quota and
have a waiting list by the time work
is begun on the new building.
List of New Members.
The new members admitted by the
admissions committee are as follows:
