Show I FOR AN ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION. Bfl For some time there has been more or less Bfl discussion of organizing an athletic club, with Bfl tho Auditorium as headquarters. Tho roan- B ageiuuut there is said to be in faor of the Idea B and to have shown a willingness to make terms fl calculated to boost the proposition along. The Bfl idea expressed thus far Is to provide some re- B spectable, well-conducted and fairly equipped fl place centrally located wliero tho Hat-chested, Bb Habby-bodled, short-winded, no-account busl- fl . :i ess man and clerk can go each day and get ) someof theexerclse he needs. The Auditorium H, could bo titled with dumbbells, bars, rings, fl patent exercisers, mats, shower baths and other 1' necessaries at comparatively Utile cost, and H ymi?us Indoor spores wvh to Instituted s de. H Sited", The atretic arrangement Could be fl handled In such a way that It need not Inter-Ill Inter-Ill fere with the regulardeslgn of the Auditorium, m so for this reason the management can and will fl make very excellent terms. fl It would be a splendid thing If the talk BB thus Tar should result in dcllnite action and the Institution or such athletics, ror most or L our business men and clerks, need to visit such fl a place. If tho membership were limited V within reason and to tho class that Is little In-B In-B tercsted in "smokers' and boxing matches, It fl would grow In popularity and become the sue-PJ sue-PJ cess that should mark every such clfort. A P membership of 75 or 100, with a J5 Initiation pi fccHnd $1 a month dues ought to be secured with little difficulty, and this amount, with sums that might be raised Incidentally would onablo an athletic organization to pull through satisfactorily, Who will take up tho matter along this lino or any other that looks belter? |
