It was ; decided to commence the debating season on Thursday April 11/ and the hope was expressed that all- .would attend regularly. ' It is; anticipated some inter-club debates will take place during the coming session. More attention, it is hoped, will be paid ’to the literary and debating section this session, - and as special inducements are.: offered in lectures from Father Clancy and-one or two individual members of the club, no doubts . are entertained, concerning its future. -; The club intends continuing its series of euchre tournaments, which last season attracted so large a number of players, and which removed in ■ an appreciable manner the - indebtedness which remains upon 7 ; the club rooms j besides bringing about social intercourse between all classes of the community.
