JOSEPH, OREGON appear In the club list though be must In a sort of way be regarded as having belonged to the club. .He was. how ever, in it only once, though It was bis boast that he bad been unanimously chosen a member. Owing to Fltegerald's well known dueling propensities no first class London crab would admit him. Never theless be got Admiral Keith Stewart who knew that be must' fight Fitz gerald or comply, to propose him for Brooks'. ... '.. '' , ' ; . ; ' Accordingly, the duelist "went with the admiral on the day of the election to the clubhouse and waited down stairs while the ballot was In progress. The result, a foregone conclusion, was unfavorable, to the candidate, not even one white ball being among the black, the admiral having been among the first to deposit his. Mr. Brooks eventually went to tell Fitzgerald, wo was waltlne in the ball, that there was one black ball and that therefore his candidature had failed. ; .. . Thrusting aside Brooks, who pro tested that non members might not en ter the clubrooms. Fitzgerald flew up stairs and entered the room, warn ing up to the fireplace, be thus ad dressed Admiral Stewart. "So. my dear admiral. Mr. Brooks in forms me that I bave been elected three times." . "You have been balloted for. Mr. Fitzgerald, but I am sorry to say you have not been chosen." said Stewart "Well, thep." replied the duelist "did you blackball me?" "My good sir." answered the admiral, "how could you suppose such a thing?" "Oh, 1 supposed no such thing, my dear fellow. I only want to know who it was that dropped the black ball In by accident, as it were." Fitzgerald now went up to each In dividual member and put the same Question to all In turn. "Did you black ball me. sir? until be mode tue rouna of the whole club, and in each case he received a reply similar to that of the admiral. When be bad finished his Investiga tions he thus addressed the whole bodv: "You see. gentlemen, that as none of you have blackballed me 1 must be elected. It Is Mr, Brooks who has made the mistake." After this nothing more was said by the members, who determined to Ig nore the presence of their dangerous visitor, who drank three bottles of champagne In enforced silence, for no one would answer him when be spoke. Wheu be bad gone It was agreed that half a dozen stout constables should be in waiting the next evening to bear him off to the watcb house if be attempted again to Intrude, but Mr. Fitzgerald, aware probably of the reception hemlght get. never did." Apropos of blackballing. Mr. Nevlll mentions tbe greatest Instance , of blackballing probably ever known. which took place some years ago at a ladles club, where one candidate re ceived three more black balls than the number of members present a case of excessive seal indeed! Tbe practical Joker Is naturally not unknown In the most solemn of dabs. and "some Irrepressible Jokers have paid for their love of fun by having to resign their membership. One of them, whose escapades were notorious In London twenty years ago. sitting half asleep in a certain bohemian club, became annoyed at a very red headed waiter who kept buzzing about bis chair. Tbe sight of tbe fiery lo?ka was eventually too much for ' this wild spirit and. darting up and selz lii; tbe man he emptied a bottle of black Ink over his bead before be tonld escape. The result of course, ras expulsion from tbe club, besides wbicb very substantial compensation was rightly paid to the waiter " , GEO. 8, and 10.
