Chauncey, president of the Mechanics Bank, gave a very handsome dinner for his fellow officers and associates in the bank' and its branches. NEXT Wednesday evening, the members of the Brooklyn Club will be diverted with one of the famous concerts of the celebrated Mandolin and Banjo Club of the large athletic organization on the corner diagonally opposite. If Herr Heatherton, the impresario of the Crescent Mandolin and Banjo Club, is not flattered at the way his orchestra is referred to in the notice sent out by the entertainment committee of the Brooklyn Club, he ought to be, for even the Boston Symphony Orchestra could scarcely ask more.

Other better known numbers are Brahms's Rhapsody, opus 79, No.
