HOUSE COMMITTEE No wines or liquors shall be served at any dinner, banquet or entertainment within the Clubhouse to any person other than a member or a guest regularly registered and introduced for the usual period. Wines or liquors may, however, be served to a visitor, introduced and registered by a member, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7, Article VIII, of the Club By-Laws, provided such visitor, having a one-day's visitor's card (duly endorsed by the introducing member), shall sign an order for these wines or liquors. This rule must be rigidly lived up to, and must not be broken under any circumstances. Individual Articles for Members' Accommodation Members will find, in the barber shop, collars of all styles and sizes, whenever desired. Some time ago the committee, in deference to the many requests, purchased a supply of umbrellas to be rented to members who might be caught unprepared in a rainstorm. Pajamas, tooth-brushes and paste are also to be had for members who may be called upon to stay at the Club overnight on short notice. All these articles may be obtained of the Room Clerk, on the street floor. Billiard Instruction The House Committee has set apart Room W, on the tenth floor, to be used for instruction. Arrangements may be made with George F. Slosson, in charge of the billiard room, who will give personal lessons to members. Locker Room A Locker Room and Bath, situated on the sixth floor, is at the disposal of members who wish to use it to make change of clothing, etc. Two Table d'Hote Dinners In the Main Dining Room on the eleventh floor, members may have the choice of two table d'hôte dinners, one served at $1.25 and one at $1.00, from 5.30 to 7.30 P.M. Coffee in the Lounge Coffee and Tea are I to 3 P.M. and 5 to 8 P.M. served in the Main Lounge to members from There is a charge for same. MEMBERS MAY BE REQUESTED TO SHOW MEMBERSHIP CARDS There have been so many strangers at some of the recent entertainments that it has happened two or three times that members were unable to obtain seats in, or even entrance to, the auditorium. While there is no intention to deprive members of the privilege of bringing guests, it is strongly urged that more moderation be shown in this particular respect. Moreover, it has come to the attention of the House Committee that men who are neither members, nor are guests of members, are frequenting the Club, particularly on evenings when there is some special entertainment; this fact forces the House Committee to request every member to provide himself with a membership card and not to be in the least offended if he is requested by the door-man, or by any servant of the Club, to show it. With over seven thousand members, it is impossible that any one individual should be able to recognize all, or even a proportion, of the members and, in view of the abuse above spoken of, it is highly probable that in the near future some one of the special entertainments will be reserved for members only. On this occasion members may be asked to show their cards of membership. Members introducing strangers to the Clubhouse are requested to register same in the Club Register at the Somerset Street Entrance. THE ROOF RESTAURANT Last summer the Restaurant on the roof solved the "Where shall I eat" problem for many members during the hot weather. For the coming season, plans are under consideration for an increase in the seat ing capacity and an improvement in the service, and the House Committee feels that with these betterments the Roof Restaurant will this season be more than ever a source of comfort and pleasure to members. All that can at this time be said as to the date of opening is that it will be as early as possible, and due notification will be sent to members. MAIL FOR MEMBERS Mail for members will be held in the box at the desk for two weeks, at the expiration of which time members will receive a printed notice requesting them to advise the manager's office as to the disposition they wish made of these letters. If no response is forthcoming to this notification, the letters in question will be filed in the manager's office, where they may be had upon request. CONSERVATION OF THE FOOD SUPPLY To help the government conserve the food supply, hotels, restaurants and clubs throughout the United States are materially reducing their menus, and getting down to the simpler foods. Keeping on hand a long list of ready-to-serve or cooked-to-order dishes means inevitably a good deal of waste. Therefore, the bills-of-fare in the Grill Room and Main Dining Room have been revised along the lines above indicated and, while members will not find so great a variety, the reduction has been mainly in the more elaborate dishes, or those that were ordered comparatively infrequently. The Grill Room will be closed on or about July 1 and will be reopened on or about September 1. A NEW CIGAR SERVICE With the installation of a new Humidor under the advice of an expert, the Club is ready to undertake the keeping of cigars for members who prefer to purchase in quantity. These cigars may be withdrawn as desired, so that members may keep actually on hand - at home or office -only enough for current needs, and their reserve stock will be cared for by the Club under conditions best calculated to maintain flavor and good condition. Delivery will be made by express, messenger or mail, as desired, at a small extra charge. The regular stock of cigars offers a large variety (the list is given herewith), but any brand not usually carried will be ordered if members who desire to avail themselves of the above-mentioned service will communicate with the cigar clerk. Members who do not find it convenient to order in person may use the attached coupon. Prices of Cigars, Cigarettes and Tobaccos, subject to change, |
