The preliminary plans tor the formation
of a Country club , of which mention was
first made In this department last week ,
have been about completed. It It Is de
cided that sufficient support Is assured the
movement will bo carried on anil by the
tlmo the exposition gates are thrown open
Omaha may bozst of a nodal institution that
M-111 compare with the similar auxiliaries
lo society life In the cffeto eaat even If It
docs not equal In elaborate appointment1)
those old established Country cluba of the
greater cities.
.An option has been secured on a commo
dious brick hot e on West Dodge street In
Dundee Place , whltfi Is surrounded with a
flno plot of ground. On this a number of
tonnU courts may be laid out and within
the club house Is suitably arranged for all
the comforts that ore found desirable after
home lively out-door cxerclao. The golf links
at Happy Hollow will continue to bo iwcil
and will bo < found ezsy of access from the
proposed club house. The gentlemen who
nro at the head and front of the movement
are now Inquiring among their friends to
loirn how many wish to Join In the for
mation of a Country club. If 100 ciamcii are
secured the Country club Is to be a go. Over
half of this number of prospective members
have already signified their Intention of
Joining and a final decUlon regarding the
formation of the club will bo made till ?
week. If the decision Is favorable a meet
ing will be promptly called and officers se
lected. Work on the house and grounds will
then bogln at once. The names of these
who are Interested In the new club Include
nearly all of the leader * and other promi
nent figures in Omaha society circles.
Thfi spirit of the times has Invaded society
circles , and various combinations of the na
tional colors are noticeable among the gowns ,
headgear an ) attendant trappings of our
"plain American girl. " Occasionally one
seta a dainty silk ( lag phnrd to the lapel ot
oiio of them , and belts with the red , white
and blue worked In 1-a some manner or other
arc getting quite 'popular. But the demand
for army button. } his been excessively large.
The young officers of the Twenty-second at
Fort Crook were kept busy before their de
parture and while cnroute to Mobile In glv.
Kig out their button ai souvenirs , In fact
these souvenirs were so greatly sought after
that It's a wonder ho.v some cf the soldiers
kept their clothing t gethcr. But a nail and
a safety pin will work wonders.
The fact that none of the government
troops paascd through Omaha cnroute to the
se.iboud Is sufllelict explanation for the
lack of enthusiastic demonstrations of a pa
triotic character in the streets of the Gate
City of the west. It Is safe to wager , how
ever , that when the Omaha Guards and
Thumton Rifles do leave here they will be
tendered a farewell that they may pleasantly
remember through all their Cubzn cam
paigns. If the war Is to amount to anything
a peep Into the future shows , that some cf
our fair devotees of society may soo.n bo
actively engaged In sewing and Interested In
other relief work. The prospect that the
war will be largely a nival affair does not
seem to indicate that there will be so urgent
a dtnianJ for such < nork as In the war of the
rebellion , when our mothers sewed bandagca
and prepared provisions for the troops , but If
the occasion docs come we < all know 'the '
Omaha girl will > jot be outdone by any ol
her sisters in itho work of charity.

In the Grand Court at the Transmlsalsslr ? ) Exposition , lorklng east from llio IslanJ which occupies the center of the lagoon , one Is Impressed by the artistic archi
tectural effects before him. When the sreai Government building , with ita missive dome and flanking colonnades , was built at the west end overlooking the Court It was
thought Jlmcult , In view of the fact thst a viaduct at the ecot must ccnnsct the blufl and main tracts , to finish that end In a llko art'etlc and Imposing manner. But the
architects happily solved the difficulty in making the viaduct not only a thing of beauty and usefulness but one of the most artistic conceits on the grounds. The visitor
may go by boat the entire length of the basin
from the Government building to the Sherman Rvenue viaduct , passing many of the main buildings. Arriving at the
cast end ho will uco a beautiful green award rising In terraces adorned with
, sculpture and shrubbery , before him ; beyond this ami facing him Is n great hemlcyclo
stairway , thirty feet In width , adorneJ on cither side with a tow r , which Is crowned by a llcal { or minaret. Sweeping out en cither sldo and connecting these towers
with others of like design are graceful T'Jnrulcs. Back of all this anj rising In five gently jjiaduatcd towers , and crowned with etatues of heroic design , nrc the two

towcru and stairs will bo tinted to an old Ivory shade , decorated \\lth dull I'cmpcllan colors.

The arrangements for the. participation by
the Omaha chorus in the musical program of
the exposition have beea partially completed
and the chorus was notified at the last re
hearsal of what may ho expected to begta
with.
The chorus will make Its bow before the
public on the evening of June 2 , when It will
sing an opening ode written for the occasion
by a member'of ' the staff of a Chicago GO.MI-
pjipor , with music by an American composer.

At the last rehearsal the chorus took up ,
"Fair lEHen , " and two choruses were gene

nounced very satisfactory by Cooductor
Kelly. Ooe or two choruses from the "Roso

ot the ' Daughter of Jalrus" and the "tEaster
iHyjnn" were reviewed.
The chorus Is short of altos and a few

ductor Kelly.
Director Klmball has appointed Jcnathan
Molten secretary of the Omaha chorus and (
ha will attend to the business details of the
work , leaving .Mr. Kelly free to attend to
the musical features of the work. This will
facilitate rehearsals , as a considerable portion

members regarding details of business which
will now be attecddd 'to by Mr. Jlcllen.
iMuslcal Director Klmball states that ar

George F. Glaser of Denver was In the
city yesterday looking over the exposition
and ho was greatly pleased with the
show. In Mr. Glascr's opinion the amufie-
mcnt features on the bluff and north tract ?
will bci a great drawing card. He sajs tin
Nashville was doaclent on euch featuroi , ant
they hold great attraction for many people
particularly for younger people. Speaking
of the Influence ( he war will have on the
exposition attendance , Mr. Glaser said that
he did not think the attendance would be
decreased on that score. "Tho war will be
felt slightly In Omaha and then the era
( shore resorts will be deserted and many
pleasure seekers will como to the Interlo
