LINCOI.N'S SOCIAL SIOI- LINCOLN , Oct. 19.-Speclal.-The ( ) event of the week was the reception to Chancellor and Mrs. MacLean by the Lincoln club , last night , lit the Lincoln hotel. It has been de- cldell that this was one of the most notable social affairs In the history of the Capital City. The club tendering the reception Is the newest In the city , and Is composed of the leaders In the social life of Lincoln. Over 300 Invitations were Issued l , a majority of th030 Invited were In attendance , but at no tlmo durIng the evening was there a crush. There were flowers In great profusion the entire parlor floor being handsomely deco- rated. Two bands In the rotunda furnished music and CaptaIn Gullfoylo proved himself the right man In the rIght place liS master of ceremonies Chancellor and Mrs. MacLean ' were ! assisted In receiving by Mr. and Mrs. C. II. Merrill Mr. C. IL Gore Mr and Mrs. H. O. Phillips , 1Iliss 1I1ariei Core , Mr. and ! Mrs. R. n. Oakley , Mr. and lIIrs. Will Green and , Mr and Mrs. S. H. Burnham Both In promenade and In the foyer the party pre- senlell a brilliant appearance , and the toilets were unusually haucJsome. So tar this season the absence of box parties at the theaters has been the subject or considerable remark. Several reasons have born asslgncd for thIs peculiar condl- ' tlon or affairs In dramatic and socIal circles. Among / these hard times Is the one whIch appeals with the least rorcn. As a rule first nlghters and theater goers In general have plenty of money for theater purposes. It Is true that there are no Impending matrimonial affairs In hhh lICe just ' now but this Is not the ono Important reason assigned by the general public for the present paucity of attendance - tendanco at the Lincoln theaters and almost total absence of box parties. It Is the low status In point of merIt of the attractions now offered by the managers or the two Lincoln . coin play houses. The plays that have been presented and the advance list published or alleged 1 "lIttractlons" to com ! are of a do- chledly unattractl\'o order. With but one or two exceptions the list of coming events are of the barn-storming varIety , and of a do- cldedly ancient vintage. Nine out or ten of the reasons advanced for the present and , probably , future absence or box parties at the LIncoln theaters wIll be found to embody the Idea of disgust at the poor list of plays offered On Tuesday evening last Mr. and lIIrs. E. I U. I Drown entertained the P Street Whist . clull. The handsome rooms were sociably , filled by the niembars. At 11 o'clocl refresh- , ments were servrd Among those present were the following : Messrs and Mesdames n. E. lirown Mark Tilton C. E. fates H. E. I ' Moore H. O. Phllltps Dr. and Mrs. } o' . D.
