MI' ' introduction of club llfo Into ' 'niiitui , which was practically effected In the establishment of the Otnalux club * ouic thrco years tlgo , innrkod nn advance towards metropolitan llfohicli ha I long been dcmumlcd. Since that tinio the popularity of "tho club' ' ha < < boon achieved to that decree that several ot those otgnnlznUons , with nioro or loss tx ; gaul to the tnsto and resources of tholr members , have smco been oninnl/.ed In till * ) eity. Prominent among these Is the i'niou club , while Hie latest , to spring Into existence Is the Dcntsclicr club , which was formally opened lasl ovunlnc. The establishment of this club was ba oil upon tlie fact that the most proml nent and woalthj ticrmnn.sof the city had no common center at which ( hey might meet loonjoy the nlousiiroof oaeh other's Mieietv , or , in the event of niiistiitKUtahcd oil I/en from nbtoad visiting Utnnlia , 1111 sigreouble pliieo In which to entertain him. To supply this dolielenoy , early in iluno last a number of leading ( inrmntiH mot and resolved upon the organl/ntion of a club. A number of informal meetIng - IngWOP - held , and llnally , on the first Wednesday ot August , the organization was pci footed by the election ot the lirst bo.ml of oillcers. Some dIHleulty wart experienced in M > cnring club room.s until linally the ( lornmniii hall was considered , Xet'o'tlationa with the turners and the ( icrman school association resulted satis- laclorily and , us a consequence , the oluli .scoured' the seeond tory of the building mentioned. H was a eheerlo s plaeo then , hut it lias sijieo been transformed into : x series of apartment1' which ate at once an evidence of ex ceeding good t.isto and discrimination. A Iliglit of stairs lead- , the v isitor to n large reception room carpeted with brus- scl , anil decorated to tone with tlio lat ter. In ono corner of this H partittonotj oil' a eoat room connected with lavatory and closets , and supplied with every uou vonieuco. Oil' the iccoptlon Is the 10- froshment room , ; ; little moro lightly decorated than the other , the furniture a large o.\tonsiou table anil sideboard wltli n plate mirror and chairs of antique oalct The walls- are graced with bron/.o game in b.-is relief. Adjacent are a small kitchen , pantry and locker , to bo used for small repasts and the storage of the necessary concomitants of hearty good cheer. Under a largo arch which la hung with a heavy veil of damask , on : trance is had to tlio billiard loom , itt which arc located two tables of the Mrmiskwick Ilnlko make. Adjoining and reached under another areti is the card-room. In the middle , stands a , table of antique oak. with stilt' reclining backs snob as arc still u ctt in the rural districts of the old country. These arc very rich and an excellent toaturo. 1'oiu * other tables grace the corners , while smaller ones are scattered to accommo date llmso who desire checkers or chessi The iu.\t is the rcadnig-ioom , also reached through n hoa\y portier , and here all the leading foreign and domes tic papers and maga/ines will always bo oft hand. All ot lliu.su looms , in the order mentioned , increase in the beauty of thoii decorations , but the masterly iloeot rati\e work is found in the ladies' par lor , in the walls of a light bulT with sunlight to warm up the subdued but tastx air of the place. This room is in i 1 tended for receptions and , with the free dom of the rest of the rooms , the wives , of members are at liberty to u o thorn on Thursday ot each week There is \\onderiul similarity be.- tweon the carpet and mural doioratioiis , which produces n. moat harmonious cfl'ecl , and yet , the decoration in no two of the rooms is alike. It is artistic work I and was made in a most satisfactory manner by 11.
