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. LchmimiK The furniture
ot the last two looms is pailicularl.y
rich , comfortable , indeed such as to sng-
ge-M and mvito case and repose.
