was spent at cards, after which re-
freshments were served by the host

Each member Of the Manchester
Community Club should become famil-
lar with the articles and bylaws Of
the clubs constitution which were

yutt was more than five feet in diam
ted and the main branch which was
elled was nearly two feet through.
