An Enjoyable Luncheon

One of the most enjoyable luncheons the writer has attended in many a moon, was the monthly affair of Hoo Hoo Club No. 9 of San Francisco, which took place yesterday at the Elks Club. As everybody knows, the Hob Hoo Club is an organization of lumber rnen, and when you have mentioned that you have said "Regular Fellows" and no mistake.

From J. E. Peggs, president; Edward Tietjen, secretary, and Harry Gaetjen, chairman of the day, on through the personnel of the club, they are a fine crowd to meet and chat with. We talked of sports, almost every variety of sports, for these fellows are variously minded to say nothing of being broad minded, and some of the questions thel' asked were not so easy of ansr.vering, either.

We hope they'll say: "Come again," some time, -San Francisco Chronicle.
