The club house ix very pleasanily sitn- ated on our city’s most ee thoroughfare, and the members are duly appreciative of the club's advantages and attractions, as is shown by the large attendance at the club house every evening. ; Howard N. Fuller was the club's president also in 1888. John W. McHary. who led the lub on its march to victory in 1872, was again called to the presidency in January of this year.
