GUMMERCIAL OLUB | OVERFLOW DINNER Gala and Hilnrious Affair Elceeds: Promoters’ Expectations in Numbers and Spirit. | “LAWLESS" CROWD RUNS WTLD b ) Over 300 good fellows enjoyed the ! good fellowship dinner at the:Com- mercial club last night. They crowded the main dining room and overflowed into the south | _ dining room and the prvate dln!n;{ . rooms on the east. The dinner was delayed a half hour, because the crowd that flocked | £ to the lobby was greater than had | been anticipated. Plates for 290 guests had been laid, on the strength | of some 260 reservations. Many last-minute men, however, came crowding in, bought tickets and de- manded places. Extra tables were soon set, and the vast army fell to. “Hand Gre Paper hats of every color decorated the heads of the guests, and red balloons of the Zeppelin type foated about the room, or exploded like hand grenade bombs, when they struck the heads of some of the more bald members 0. T. Bastman, chairman of the en- y tertalnment committes, was master of ceremonies. Ceremonles, however, were decidedly imformal, although Mr. East- man with megaphone in hand did his best to hold the “lawless” aggregation in hand. The orchestra played the fastest of rags, “Galatea” danced the choicest of “her” twirls, and the delegation of cowboys and farmers from Kansas, Utah and Jowa, stumped into the room | demanding “time out’ to hold a good- roads convention. Manley in Overalls. Bob Manley headed the desegatfon in overalls, and called the meeting to or- der. There was a squabble about where to locate the “highway,” since Yale Holland s the bewhiskered Mormon from Utah, favored Iowa, because three of his wives were from that state. “Galatea,’” with whom he was even at that moment falling 'n love, claimed a residence in Des Molnes. “Tough” Frank Latenwer. Frank Latenser, as the tough cowboy from Wyoming, forgot his part and voted for lowa instead of Kansas, but no one expected the boys to give a first- class vaudeville perfarmance, so all had to cheer; for, were they not expected to be good fellows? Cartoonist Bloodhart did up some of the prominent members of the club physiogonomically in charcoal on white paper, and got considerable applause. Among those whose faces appeared in the cartoon work were: J. W. Gamble, T. A. Fry, Randall K, Brown and C. E. Yost. E. V. Parrish, manager of the bureau of publicity, showed the Omaha moving pictre reels, giving sn instructive lec- ture as an accompaniment. STECHER SAVES HIMSELF FROM FALL AT BUTTE BUTTE, Mont, March 24—Bill De- métral, who terms himself the Greek champion, lifted Joe Stecher of Ne- braska, claimant of the world's heavy- weight champlonship, high in the air here tonight and slammed him to the mat. | Stecher saved himself from a fall, how- | ever, and finally defeated Demetral. The Copper City club, which staged the | bout, announced a bid of $60,000 for the Gotch-Stecher match in Butte in July, Stecher secured the first fall in six minutes and forty-two seconds and the second fall in four minutes and seven seconds., It took Frank Gotch a total of fifty-seven minutes to throw Demetral | recently, GEORGE FINDS REPUBLICANS ARE STRONG FOR HUGHES (From a Staff Correspondent.)
