Several offers have of late been made to the Tammany society for their present building, and = handsome cash offer was made two years ago. It is doubtful if at the present tima as much could be realized as a few years ago, but all these matters will have to be considered by the sachems. It seemed to be an accepted principle that if a clubhouse were erected it ghould be in the colonial style, as the members were of the opinion that the first Tammany Hall, which is now the 22 Sun building, had once represented that style of arch;tectur One ur- chitect’s drawings showed provision for a grill room, an assemdly room, a billiard room and private dining rooms as well as the regular offices | for the organization, and his ideas met with a good deal of favor. It was also suggested that an assembly hall capable of seating 3,000 should be included in the new building and that it should be kept clear of the balls which have not added to the repute of the present Tammany Hall. Seme support was forthcoming for the sug- gestion that the new Tammany hall be built north of Central park in liarlem, but in the end tne welght of cpinion seemed to be in favor of the digtrict between Forty-second and Tifty-ninth streets, with a majority of the members favoring a site in the upper fifties.
