Illinois“ FRIDAY, DECEKBER l7. We took dinner one day‘ last week at the Chicago Club, as the guest of one of it’s prominent members. The Chicago, we need not remark. is the highest toned Club in the city. It takes something besides mere money to get in there. it requires some blood and breeding and standing socially and morally. Well we met atfew such men as Marshall Field, Mr. McCormick, . several judges, Hugh T. Birch, and others, and that we enjoyed a royal dinner goes with- out the séyingi. It was a dinner which in it’s substance and serving showed that there is euchta thing living being reduced to a fine‘ :13: But perhaps the most surprisi g of all, was the fact thgt everything went on'fi's‘ thoughiié’v’v'ére' no: there!

We were 0 r the north one Tuesday morniné and found on careful ex amination that it is about two inches below the. level of the macadam, and the water and the med covered it up entirely, so that a lady who came 'along ht the time was obliged to leave the crossing and walk in the street. The stone crossing at the Bingham-Cheney corner is in about the same condition and we hood ofl’ three inches deep of mud. The difliculty arises from the fact that these crossings are laid on a level with the street; when put in were filled in underneath with loose earth, not tamped down, and the constant driving over them beats them below the street level This can be seen in the ends of the plank crossings 0n Dale avenue.
