At meeting last night of the work.

it was decided the contest among the

Director McCarrpn announced that
the drive had now reached sign on the
dotted Line stage. Because of the
number of prospects secured it was
necessary to enlarge the membership Of
the teams. The surprise of the evening
was the gain made by team No. G.,
which advanced from sixth position in
the race to second place. Capt. Cleary
of that team promises to make team

addressing meeting of persons who
have been interested in the Columbus

solicitors as to the standing of the club
with the local clergy. Monsignor Thomas
of St Patrick's Church, has stated that
1.-The efforts which are being made for
an increased membership for the Column
bus Country Club are very worthy and
should receive the hearty support Of the

The need OF such a club, and its adj
vantages, are apparent, and it is to be
hoped that the present drive for MEM
bership will be eminently successful"
A musical and dance on Thursday
evening will be the entertainment fea-
ture. All new members, prospective
members and old members of the club
are invited to attend.
