NOW #EtNG flUSHED Though there was but a small hum- |r of members present Thursday the reguta month^meeting of i Evanstx>nHDbm1taerciJipiB8flociation, considerable work was accomplished. ^ of the lympic club committee, the lighting committee ana" the social,, committee were read aid action taken. "It waft decided to have Oct. 16 set te as the annual outing day. The invitation of the Foster Field Ath- letic association to have the members Visit their grounds on that day was accepted. The outing was held at that park last year and such a genuine good time was experienced by all that was again decided to accept the of the boys. R. Smart, chairman of the Olympic club committee, was not present owing to an engagement with of the council committees. A encouraging report from him, ^rever, was received and read by President Macpherson. The com- muhication stated that nearly ail the |$ecoj»ting, the laying of the floors and the plumbing was completed at the rooms in the City Hall. ^Sf-/ Returns Favorable. J^ejuras from the letters sent out >iijjr the finance committee were also ^commented favorably upon. Of flfty- |twb, replys, fifty persons subscribed toward the new club. The amount donated bjf tbieee fifty public*pirlted men totaled $470. It is the wish of ; the committee to secure $2,500. If replys that follow are as favora- as the ones already received the amount will be met. Mr. Smart in his communication suggested it would be a good idea to invite the public to subscribe to- ward the sum desired. But 280 let- ters have been sent out and for this reason it is believed there are many people who would gladly constribute $tjfcev were familiar with the work contemplated by the boys. JgfevCofrfflffflljng on the communlca- ?tt^^ |fr/Smart, Col. Ketredge, who has been appointed general supervisor |o||^ work jtt the club rooms, said the work the union men are doing in laying the floors and decorating is the best example of co-operative work he ever saw in this city.

"Early in |he"pait summer an idea was conceived that it would be a splendid thing to provide a club room for young men emplqyed fnjiivanston who had no place to meet %or eater* tainment or social intercourse and who were not reached by any other organization. Many were on the streets and some went to Chicago to spend their evenings- After consid- eration the Evanston Commercial as- sociation decided to appoint a com- mittee to investigate the subject. Oui of it all there was finally organised The Olympic Club of Evanston, and the city council generously gave apace on the second floor of the City Hall for club rooms. It is proposed to furnish these rooms for use as a billiard room, reading room, etc., and on the third floor a gymnasium Will be equipped. "The young men have carried out their part of the arrangement by se- curing nearly one hundred members, each of whom have paid an initiation fee of $1. They have organized by elect- ing officers and .adopting by-laws. The young men were tpld that if they would secure 100 members, the com- mittee of the Commercial association would eqnip the club rooms and fi- nance the organisation for the first year, with the expectation that the club would be *ble after the first year to stand on its own legs and be self-supporting. "The committee^ believes the club will be a great help to the members in an educational and social way. The management is vested in a board of directors, elected by the club, and an advisory board appointed by the president of the Evanston Commer- cial association. The young men have shown great Interest and enthusiasm and so far have done their part, and It is now up to the committee to care for their end. Hence the committee asks the citizens of Evanston for $2,500 to equip the rooms and pay running expenses for the first year. "Will you subscribe $......... for this worthy cause. If so, and others respond in proportion, the amount will soon be in hand. Make checks payable to the order of James R. Smart, treasurer. "Yours respectfully, «'H. A. Apps, "H. B. Chandler, "Gerald Butler, "F. P. Vose, "F. W. Gerould, "Finance committee." Will Receive Returns. It was decided at the meeting last week to appropriate $50 to secure the election returns in November. The returns will be^ceived at the rooms of the Olympic club antl will prob- ably be thrown on a screen on the City National bank building. The matter was placed in the hands of, the special committee. • W.
