FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 28. 1886 HOW IT STANDS. Tbe Rejected Rid* fur the T. M. C. A. Building. Considerable corn meh t has been made upon the rejected bids for the proposed building of the Y. M. C. A. at the corner of Pryor and Wheat streets in Atlanta. A reperter, thinking that some explanation of the facts would be of interest to the public, called on one of the committee this morning and asked why the jrids were rejected. The reply was on the terms that they reserved the reject any or all bids from the beginning. Another reason assigned was that some of the bidders wanted more time to figure upon the cost of the building and aaother reason was that there was not, among all that made a proposition, one who lived in Atlanta, and the building commit the preferred letting the contract out to seme one *f Atlanta. He said that there was not a single bid on the whole building made by an Atlanta man, and if they could get the building erected by Atlanta men as cheap as they could by foreigners they would much rather do so, and they really, thought it their duty. Then they gave another reason for rejecting those bids and that was the forms for bidders were not filled out properly and they could not possi bly let the contract until things were arranged systematically. • - It is the opinion of many people*that this committee made way with those bids for the purpose of giving some respected person the contract, and with a view of showing to this special party the bids and allowing him to come under them for bis benefit and thereby obtain the contract. Our reporter met several of tbe leading Y. M. C. A., among them were two of tbe committee en bids, and also the general secretary, Mr. Heimer. They all express regret that such had become the spinion of the people. They assured the reporter that the building would soon be put out again to the lowest bid der, thereby allowing those who have already made their bid to try again, and at the same time give those who were not ready to bid be fore a riiance. They said that not the least partiality was being used. THE REPAST YESTERDAT. The Ladle* of the Church of the Re deemer. Yesterday the house No. 11 North Broad street was crowded from noon until a late hour last night by those who had a desire to help on in the good work. The ladies of the Church of the Redeemer spared no pains to make the whole affair deligbtiul and a success, which was accomplished. The affair will be repeated to-day and to-night and a grand ice cream and Btrawberrv festival wiil be given? The place will be crowded. The ladies *f this church merit praise for their efforts and untiring energy in helping this church. The affair yesterday was a grand success. Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Watts, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Keith, Mrs. Irwine, and the Misses Eddy were busy all day. They arranged 8 tables all dress ed in a different calor, Some of them pink and some blue, made the room attractive. Every body should call this afternoon and attend to night as the affair promises to be delightful. The ladies will make it pleasant for you. Tbe Dixie Debaling Club. Last Monday night was the time appointed for the club to meet again, but on account of providential hindrances it was postponed. How ever, due notice for the time of meeting will be given later. Since this club last met some of its members have forfeited their right to mem bership by uniting themselves with the fairer sex in the holy bonds of matrimony, while oth ers have left our Gate City and taken up their abode in distant lands. The clubs’ membership is limited to twenty five, and as these vacancies are unfilled, other young men who are interested in such an or ganization, and are eligible to membership are invited to call and see Mr. W. T. Cowles at S. P. Richard & Son’s book store, Mr. E. B. Fletcher. No. 9 Whitehall street, Mr. L. B. Ar nold, 32 Wall street. This club is composed of younff lawyers, doctors, merchants and clerks, and is made up of the best young men of the city. The Capitol wishes them much success, and truly hopes that they will get even more than the number of members required. Tbe Ylo Literary Society. Last night tbe resideaceof Mr. William Bren ner, 219 Marietta street, was a scene of life and merriment. After a very interesting programme, which consisted in essays, recitations, speeches and music, the young people passed an hour or two socially, which, to say the least, was en joyed by all. This club is composed of some of the most beautiful and accomplished young la dies in the city, and there could be no one ac complishment more necessary to insure success than this. The Capitol reporter was glad to be there, and will doubtless go again. JUST RECEIVED, A new line of stylish Seersuckers. See them this week. Chamberlin, Johnson & Co. IMPORTED TABLE LINEN.
