Brooks, and a score of other North Stdor met to consider th organization of a einb. As they were men of quick Impulse and energetic action a single meeting auSoed to settle upon th Union Clab. At first they were content to walk up on flight to attend weekly meetings at th Clarendon House, bat a rapidly increasing membership led so th renting of a bouse at tha corner of Chicago avenue and State street A' year later, with a mem bership a hundred strong, the elub obtained possession of tha historic Ogden mansion and it extensive 'grounds fronting Lafayette place. This fanaoos frame house that. swathed in wst blankets, stood tne sola aurvivor amid the wilderness of asnes that marked the ait of Chicago in 1871; which waa famous for the hospitality of Its owner daring the dreary months that followed, resumed it under tbe new rsgims of the Union Clab.

The extensive ground served for moonlight parties, lawn concert, and later for tennis courts. Those entertainments were unique and were conspicuous for liberality; the concert invariably attracting hundreds of uninvited guests, who, however, were welcome to enjoy the musie from the park opposite. Many a poor lover wooed the maid of his heart to royal musie at tbe expense of the Union Club. When tbe membership grew to three hundred the director purchased tbe large lot on the opposite side of the square, southwest corner of Washington place and vearoorn avenue, ana here Henry Cobb gave the charm of bis handiwork in a fins example of tbe manor noose of Queen Anne style, in brown sandstone, probably the handsomest club-house in the city. In the spring of 1883, when just eomplete.

tbe majority or whom raided in the neighborhood of Union Park. There were then many important local and ceneral nubile atten tions under discussion, and tbe Laaalle Ciob took thim under consideration so intelligently and with an oh success aa to attract the attention of tha Republicans of all parts of tbe city. It may be said that from that tima tbe political club life began, and that the many other success ml political organizations of a perma nent character date their rise and progress from tbe example set by the LaSalle. In the snrioz of 1SS0 ths managers and membership of tbs LaSalle fonnd their quarters so limited that they began to eonsider the advisability and necessity of seeking out a nsw noma. An enterprising committee was selected to investigate the aubiect and waa so success ful that the residence at No.

28 Warren avenue was obtained, and ia May tbe einb begun housekeeping there. The growth of the LaSalle had up to that time been without a parallel. Its most sanzuine friends had to confess it bad outrun all expectation. The mem- oerenip now included leading, active men in all divisions of the city. Its membership list was enlanred without effort and maintained without labor.

And the 300 Republicans who united with it were very generally of the progressive elements of the party rofd every district in the ins eiuo continued to grow until it soon oe-eame evident that tUe, Warren avenue residence waa altogether too It was fit that more com mod ions quarters were required, and yet; wm oimcniTy was mat mere were cew piece in all respects suitably, for.th popular organization. The club chose a committee on quarters. but it was not nntil Ah: fall of 1887 that a place waa fonnd which waa considered Billable for tbe Laballe.

On of the oldest and at th same Urns one of tbe wealthiest elub ia the eity is the Standard Clnb, It is one of ths few elube in the city that is so well known that it ia rarely eeeeeaary to append the word clnb" to the title. Every body knows The Standard.

It was organized before the great fire, and ia one of the few that date that far back. It waa organized about th year 1869, when Chicago bad fee than inhabitants, and wbtn elub lif was something new aud practically unknown to the many. The first home of the Standard waa really ia one of tbe rooms of Brnna wick's billiard bait where lolly Mosee Benainzer was Jnst a trifle mors lively than be is now. xaateron permanent quarters were found in 'm i. T' r-- 1 I 1 i ii i i i I i UNIVERSITY the Concordia HalL in ths Lombard Block, on Monroe and Dearborn streeta Jnat before th tire Of uot W.

1871,. the Standard opened it club-house corner of Michigan avenue and Thirteenth street which after the fire formed tbe only theater in town, Cbariea Wyndham and Jan Coomb being among tbe stars to play there upon ths small stage originally intended only for amateurs. The club grew and prospered aud made money, so much so tnat in June. 1889. it wa able to mov into on vf th finest and most substantial dob-house in the oountry.

This elub-houa waa opened with a magnificent reception, attended by over 1,000 persona. Tbia new elnb-bouae is located at the corner of Twenty-fourth street and Michigan boulevard, facing east and north. Tbs structure is a peculiar one from an architect oral point of view. mat it iouows none oi tne Classical aesigna It baa a fmniim iTt.ir.nt Vminan boulevard ana 162 feet deep on Twenty-fourtn street four stories and basement bunt of bins of the windows in ths upper portions ars deeply sunken rate the walls, aud give the building at first aa appearance of extraordinary solidity, not warranted by -ths usee- for which it is intended. This, however, is removed after one-makes a atadied view of th exterior, when the grandeur and beauty of tbe outline become developed to the era.

There are two mammoth stone projection la 1 1 eenter of the Miohigan boulevard front, whioh are sufficieut to remove all appearance of too severe plainness. Mts-sivjness and durability ar what th architect wer after, aud they bars Ths base mo at 'is given up to a large aud roomy kitchen, which is complete In all raodoro appointments and where a banquet niaj be aerved for 2.0OO persona There is a boiler-room for furnishing heat for tue house, hot water for laundry, and power for eiectrio light The wine vault are elao tba.baaement Tha front of the basement on the north end ia devoted to four commodious bowling sUeya and gymnastic appliances, and tbe south end to an old-time German weia atube, furnished in the ancient iVt srmor, bric-a-brac, quaint old furniture, and provided with rare Old Wlnj" "sported for the club. lbs first floor is essentially the every-day part of the olnb. Here ar. tii reeepUonV pari lor, library, and a number of card roomsT The library and reading-room la on tha north front, while the south front is taken up with an ample and beantiful reception-room, decorated in light cheerful colors, and hung witn tbs richest of draperiee.

There are two magnifloent wooden mantels, one in each room, with amnio, old-fashioned flre-piaoee. Tbe furniture ia all ncbly upholstered, and in keep, ing with the- elegance, jrrandenr and beauty of the house. Tbs entrance ball ia magnificent and wide, and finished in aalon style; th floor is laid in rich marble mosaic, th monogram of the elub being inlaid near the grand stairway. Wast of the entrance ia tha billiard-room, and in tbe rear of this is the gent's cafe, finished in antique oak, with a PRES3 CLUB. rare old wooden mantel, finished in Moorish open work, with a neh and quaint aidebuard to match it On the other aide of tbe hall are th offices of ths btandord Club, and a number of email connecting card-rooma.

Tbe stairway is a grand effort In massively treated cherry. Half way up there is a very large etaiaed glasa window which aende in a mellow light Stained glass is also prof usely need in various deeigna on tbe drat floor, especially in th hall and cafe, but always with rare taste and beantiful effect. The second floor is devoted to ladies' parlors, eloak snd dressing rooms, and a banquet ball 60x70 feet in area. There ar also ae venal large dining rooms, finished in satin and maple wood a. with wooden man tela of like matori .1 and onyx Th third floor i devoted to the baH-rooe-, and aside from being provided with aa ample gallery forth musician, a large stage with acenery where dramatic performance may be given, and 800 people eeated comfortably, and will be when completed the largest private theater.

Tbe fourth floor is cut up into living rooms for the janitor and the eervanta of tbe einb. and are very oozy and comf ortable. The banding coat furniahmeat tbe tot, $42,000, an aggregate of over $200,000. A snort time ago th Standard Club bought forty-two feet on Michigan avenue adjoining tbe elub hoaae on the south. It it expected that within a year the einb will erect a covered eonrt-way, with two immense bay windows, inclosing a garden and similar attraction for Semi-outdoor entertaiumenta It is est mated that the clnb is worth above its present iudebiodnees.

Tbe bonds are all held by clnb mem Dors. Tbs Standard Clnb now numbers 350 members, tbs limit being reached.

It eeme to be because there bad long been a CLUB. place for it Toung college graduate strangers a well a resident came to Chicago from the East, aud not finding the duplicate here of the University Club, ia New lork, said, Chicago should bavs a university club. She shall have a university club." So the spontaneous wish of many college men began to receive material expression at tbe hands of a decisive few. That the leaders in the movement of organization were more particularly graduates from the big Eastern universities is nothing strange, because such men from ths circum- stances of the case beet knew the attractions and convenience of university elub life, and were the best qualified to repr oduce such an 1 institution In Chieaga Ths first democratic agitation of the pro posi tion to establish a ualreraity clab in Chicago took place In a largely attends! nnss-tnoet ing of college men hald at the Grand Pacifl) Hotel in January. 1837.

The qua.lil call oca for membership upon tbe true settlement of this question depended the preservsdon of the dnn as a university Dure and simple. Non other it wa onuiwi to be, and, in th face of numerous fehowauip olubs already thriving in Chicago, none other it 00 old be. Wherefore, with New York's club for it model it ordained that no man should be eligible wbo bad not in at least three years regular coarse won a university or college degree. Under tbia constitutional provision were, of coarse, eligible otherwise qualified graduates of West Point snd Annapolis, and all distinguished holders of honorary degrees. Army and AfflMira An flnt within fftrtv mil Chicago are allowed club privilege by payment of annual dues, bnt may not vote or bold Membership to the einb is attained by through committee on admissions.

Resident membership in the elub is limited to 5u0 persona The initiation fee for the first 150 mem-was fixed at $50, and the nnnal dues at f1? Oa ths first day of April. 1887, th clnb had 312 member. May 1, by eonstit provision, tbs initiation fee was raised to S10O and the dues to $UO. By the same provision $30 in initiation fee and $20 la dues. A noa-resident member may not reeids within forty miles of Chie.go.

Gambling la, of course, prohibited. The club is not open between 12:30 s. m. snd 10 a ra. Occupancy of th new club-house will probably call for a modification of tbi rule.

With tbe poaaeaaioa of new quarters, soon contemplated, tbe University Club, abandoning its original and inadequate rooms, at once expands itself in all ths directions foreshadowed by it constitution and iniagioed by its members. Next month ths University Club moves into a domicile beoommg rts means, it constituency, and its purpose. At that tame the handsome red brick and terra eotta building a baif block north of Tbx Ltteb Ocxaii'a new building becomes tbs permanent home of tbia organization. Ths building.

No. 116 and 118, standing on the west side of Dearborn street between Madison and Washington streets, is well known ss Hansen's Building, Its improrementa have been three extra floors now being constructed for nse by tbe University Clnb. Eventually tbe building, for a time to be rented in it lower floor for offices, will nrobablv be absorbed by tbe enlarging tenancy of the dun. It ia designed that clnb member shall nee th rentable office in question. Tbe club's new property was obtained on the following terms: Tne land, owned by Mr.
