It was a witty bishop who once de
fined a club aa a place "where women
cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest" Another amusing deflnl-
■on was that given by George Au
gustus Sals. "A club,” wild he. “Is a
weapon used by savages to keep the
white woman at a distance." Nowa
days, however, as Ralph Nevlll re
marks In his book, “London Clubs,”
things are different “Within the last
twenty-five years or so the spirit of
London club life has entirely changed.
The old fashioned clubman, whose
whole life was bound np with one or
other of these Institutions, is now
practically extinct^
Perhaps the most striking story
which Hr. Nevlll tells regarding
Brooks’ club Is that concerning tho
famous duelist Cieorge Robert Fitz
gerald, who was executed for murder
In 1786. No first class London club
would admit him. His name does not

In a sort of way be regarded as having
belonged to the club. He was, how
ever. In It only once, though It was his
boast that he had been unanimously

Owing to Fitzgerald’s well known
dueling propensities no first class

Hawaii Swimming Tourney.-
A team of Hawaiian swimmers are
coming to the United States in July—
that is. If they are satisfied they are
good enough to have a chance with
the Americans. For the purpose of
finding out the real merit of the Ha-
wallans an aquatic meet is to be held
at Honolulu on June 11. This Is to be
a record meet, and If the records are
at all respectable the mevi. will be sent

| “So, my dear admiral, Mr. Brooks in
forms me that I have been elected
I three times.”
I “You have been balloted for, Mr.
I Fitzgerald, but I am sorry to say you
have not been chosen,” said Stewart
I “Well, then,” replied the duelist, “did
you blackball me?’’
j “My good sir,” answered the admiral,
i “how could you suppose such a thing?”
“Oh, I supposed no such thing, my
dear fellow. I only want to know who
it was that dropped the black ball in
by accident, as It were.” 1
Fitzgerald now went up to each In
dividual member and put the same
question to all In turn, “Did you black
ball me, sir?” until he made the round
of the whole club, and In each case he
received a reply similar to that of the
admiral. '
When he had finished his investiga
tions he thus addressed the- whole
body: “You see, gentlemen, that as
none of you have blackballed me 1
must be elected. It Is Mr. Brooks who
has made the mistake."
After this nothing more was said by
