“Beefsteak Club Plans For Dinner – Two outings a month decided on – Ladies as guests”
“Annual party – January 19th – Entertainment committee appointed – Officers re-elected at business session – Ladies arrange for dinner.”
The annual meeting of the Beefsteak Club was held with President W. F. Barnes at his home on North Main Street last night
The club will have two outings a month this season and both will be ladies nights
The Beefsteak Club is the oldest of the outings clubs, being formed about 20 years ago. (ie about 1890)
Original members of the club have reached an age when indulgence in a baseball game every Wednesday during the summer is too strenuous, reduced to second and fourth Wednesday
Members would not hear of abandoning the club as too strong a bond of fellowship has been wielded by twenty years of association
32 members enjoyed dinner at the Barnes home last night. Dinner was laid in the Billiards Room
Dinner was followed by a smoker and the business session
Re-elections: William F. Barnes, President; Chandler Starr, Vice President; E. M. St. John, Secretary; and Dr. Sanford Catlin, Treasurer
Wednesday evening, January 19th was selected for the mid-winter picnic at Unity Hall, at the corner of North Main and Mulberry
While the men were dining at the Barnes home, their wives were dining at the Thadwa (University Club)
Mrs. E. E. Bartlett was chosen Chairman of the supper committee
