THE NEW COMPANY. rtors Determine to Rush Upon the Stage. Grand Consultation Meeting Sun- day Evening. ‘Mr. Gardiner Boams Upon the As- semblage, . It Is Resolved to Electrify the City Some Sunday Evening. Tho Lightning Dramatlst Submits the Draft of a Play. ‘The average Chicago reportor ix anything but agtegations animal, He ie foreed by thonatnro of his business, at any rate during business houra, to accomplish his duty singlo-handed, and with but little converse with his fellow-workers, Jionce it comes that roporters who havo mot at the same room and taken assignments from iho rame book dally for years togeth- er, have fothing, dr next to nothing, in common but the work thoy oxectite together. Of course, meoting together daily ae thoy do, they frequently fecl « yearning forono anothor's society, but the chances of an idle hour arriving at which something like generat leiguro might allow of a general exchanga of social amenities gre eo emall that tho idea of such @ luxury ie nover indulged in, Occasionally, i must bo ad- mitted, futile attompts have been mado to unite tho “boye” in a cotnmon object, having amusement or instruction as its Incentive. ‘yho columna of ‘Tue Trinunz havo al- ready recorded how 4% spectacled nowspaper man in tho role of Jago aroused the greon-cyed monster in the heart of an Othello, who was ad- mittedly one of the bast mon ata hanging in the business, aud tho ire of the audienco, who did not relish tho introduction of the spectacular in the wonderful tragedy; how the Press Club aliernately flouristied, languished, and finally faded into nothing, and how a newspaper base- ball nino wore dofented by several hundrod runs in a match with a club of painfully suporior prowess, Allthese thinga go to show that, though aware of the diflicultios which besot thelr path, tho natural pertinacity (without tho possersion of which a reporter might as well go tb running & bank, or some other occu- pation less lucrative than his own) of tho te- orter is liable at any moment to induca Lim to jend his aid toany movetnont which might prom- iso a union of forces for an INTELLECTUAL OR ENTERTAINING ONJECT. Itis now nome time since the * boys” have come together elsewhere than atthe City-Hall,or County” Board, or o political or eccie- sisstical convention, or 8. hanging, or some other thing combining, business and pleasure, and it iw therefore with groat gratilloation that the fact is recorded that Bunday quite afew of thom (how many and who thoy wore will be shown hereafter) mot at tho Sher- map House and concocted os ‘acheme which vot only securod the meeting together in converse swoct of @ number of them, but also hold out 5 hope to the public that they might at no very far futuro date onjoy with tho senses of night aud hearing that conyerso. ‘The nature of thaimect- ing will, perhaps, be bost explained by tho pub- lication of THE FOLLOWING CINCULAT, ohe of which was sent to everybody who was or purported to bo a newspaper man in the city: There will boa meeting of the members of the nows- ‘por fraternity, at the club-room, in tho Sherman Tiduse, on Munday oveuing next, Mob, 14, at 6 o'cluck, , to take action relative to giving a bouedt dramatic en- forlainment, atthe Academy of Mule, ou Sunday evening, eb, 28, You are cordially fuvited to be cs wd, should any of the embers of your stuif Hotice, plengo bring them with you, TW. B.D, | By Orpen ov tu Comstirter, Tho ciroular was variously received. Some of tha boys thought it wasa hoox, a *'’fom Collins” kind of a sell--a suspicion that was etrongthened by the fact that it bore no namo, and nobody knew who tho committea was who ordered tho meeting. Others thought that at any rato it would be as wellto spend the avening at the club-room as at chorch, and it is probable that even the circular por se would have secured quito a rospectable gathering. It was THE MYSTICAL LETTERS on tho left-haud lower corner, Lowever, which made the meotings success, During the afternoon one of the “committeo” wont round and in- formed those who bad received the circular thint these letters meant nothing more or leas than tho words “There will be drinking.” ‘There was a largo attendance, and, ap it was Bunday evening, and the clothes proper to tho day had been donned by the boys, their appear- anco was very creditable.

It sete forth that the Lumbermen's’ Board of ‘rado bad shared in the general depresrion of the businoss of 1874, but the low prices that had ruled the past season had undoubtedly ina gieat measure heen owing to overproduction, and as long as the supply was as largely in excets of the demand hardly romunerative prices might bo looked for by manufacturers, or a rteaty, hoalthy trade by doalers, ‘Tho Inmberman's business, ke other trades, was eubject tu tho groat laws of supply and demand, and to axcer- fain ng nearly as possible that anpply aud the probable demand from timo to time, toretier with stocks on hand and such other matters as might lead toa more intelligent and profitable couduct of tho bueiness by a thorough dixsemi- nation of facts, was the great object of the As- sociation, s lis organizntion on the Ith of February, 1874, was intended to aupply 9 long-felt necces ty hy the Jumbermen of Chicago, of an arsocia- tion not confined to any ono branch or specialty of the trado, but general in ita clmracter, to in- elude in ita membership all those interested in this, ane of the greatest industrics of tho city and the Northwest.

Hefore the opaving of the season of naviga- tion of 1874, the Board of Directors, after much deliberation and conanttation with the Lumber. man’s Exchange and loading cominiseion dealers, decided to recommend te the Assuciation the establishmont of an INBVEGTION DEPARTMENT, to be under the charge of a Chief Inspector and eputies, with rules for tho inspection and measurement of luinber sold on the mardet, ‘The Hoard Lad measured about 260,000,000 feet of lumber, about four-fifths of allwold on the Ex- change market, with feces amounting to about $15,500, Whother this dopartmoent shontd bo coutinned remained with the metbers, aud it undoubtedly could be ran at much icra exponsa than it had been the previous year aud bo made more than self-sustaining.
