After Having Been Balloted For and Unanlmaualy Blackballed Ho Made Every Member Deny Hie Vote and Then Beolared Himself Eleoted. 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 appenr in the club list though he must 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 chosen a member. Owing to Fitzgerald’s well known dueling propensities no first class London club would admit him.

At the rate the little fellow Is going now It Is doubtful That Barry will be able to get back his old position as a member of the admiral on the day of the election to the clubhouse and waited down stairs while the ballot was In progress. The result, a foregone conclusion, was unfavorable to the candidate, not even one white ball being among the black, the admiral having been among tho first to deposit his.

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.

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.
