CHUB CLUB'S NEW HOME.
New York, 1895
LADIES OPEN THE HOUSE FOR THEIR HUSBANDS' PLEASURE.
Mrs. Supervisor Everitt Makes an Address and Presents Some Substantial Furnishings — The Boys Had a Stag Racket With Plenty of Fun and Feasting.
The new and cosy quarters of the Jamaica Chub Club were radiant Monday evening with handsomely dressed women, graceful floral decorations and brilliant lights. The occasion was a reception given by the club to the members' wives and friends, the first since its organization. It was a highly social and delightful affair. The floral decorations were conspicuous for their beauty. Timpone's orchestra rendered delightful music during the evening.
The ladies at the reception included Mrs. John H. Eldert, Mrs. William E. Everitt, Mrs. Henry M. Haviland, Mrs. William C. Baker, Mrs. Henry Willett, Mrs. Theodore R. Chapman, Miss A. A. Tapp, Mrs. E. D. Lott, Mrs. George W. Baker, Mrs. J. J. McLaughlin, Mrs. Samuel Burger, Miss Florence H. Detheridge, Mrs. Charles A. Lockwood, Mrs. Leander B. Faber, Mrs. A. A. Wyckoff, Mrs. E. A.

Dunton, Mrs. Assemblyman Vacheron, Miss Marianna Durland, Miss Estelle Van Dine, Mrs. George L. Adams, Mrs. F. E. Detheridge, Mrs. J. M. Seaman.
An event of much interest was a presentation to the club by the ladies. Mrs. Haviland, Mrs. Everitt and Mrs. Eldert were the instigators of the project, and were successful in carrying it out in the form of a surprise. The gifts were a large steel engraving, "The Stag at Bay," in a rich frame; a clock and ornaments (candelabra), in oxidized silver, and a library table outfit — inkstand, pens, blotting pad, etc., and waste basket. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. W. E. Everitt, who did it with a good deal of grace. President John H. Eldert responded in a brief speech,which was both eloquent and forcible.
After lunch an informal musical entertainment greatly delighted all present. Messrs. Everitt and Sullivan were heard in some of their inimitable renditions. Edward Senne astonished all with the beauty of his voice in a tender love song, and Civil Engineer McLaughlin contributed a capital ballad, with the club sextet singing the chorus. Dancing was enjoyed until midnight, when the company departed, the ladies being unstinted in their praise of the club and its charming and elegantly appointed house.
On Tuesday evening the Chubs gave a "stag" party. Nearly a hundred guests and members were present. The evening was pleasantly spent in feasting, song and music. Messrs. Sullivan and Everitt entertained the company with the bones and tambourine. The Messrs. McLaughlin and Burger, and the Senne Brothers — Edward and Clarence — added much to the occasion by the rendition of several select ballads.
Among those present were Senator Childs, Assemblyman Vacheron, Harrison S. Moore, Major Pennington, J. W. Walters, John B. Merrill, Wm. P. Robertson, Charles E. Areson, W. E. Remsen, E. A. Napier, George Shattuck, Wm. Hopkins, Abram Van Siclen, F. W.
