An informal, but very enjoyable reception was tendered by the Press Club to over 300 newspaper men, now in Chicago. Newspaper correspondents from Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, were welcomed with genuine Western hospitality by their Chicago brethren of the guild. Under the direction of President Stanley Waterloo a most enjoyable programme was carried out. Ben King played and recited in his own inimitable way, while Burr Mc- Intosh "the Wizard King" did some marvelous card tricks. Thos. Miska's Hungarian orchestra from the Trocadero gave a selection of popular music. Joe Howard addressed a few remarks to the "company whom he facetiously termed "Fellow Capitalists." Then to the deafening accompaniment of Turkish tom tons and shrill Algerian pipes, two Algerian dance girls gave an exhibition of native dances, their graceful movements proving a great contrast to the stiff movements of the average modern "skirt dancer." After these artistes a boxing entertainment followed, which no doubt reminded the Englishmen present of the Police Club entertainments. It was in the early morning, before the meeting dispersed; after a most enjoyable tıme from start to finish. Among the many present were: Clement Scott, Austin Brereton, London, Major M. P. Handy, Washington Hesing, Nate Salsbury, Major Burke, Ben King, Burr McIntosh, Captain C. King (Milwaukee) Joseph How- ard, jr., James Milne, William Semin, Lon- don, Eng., etc.
