Every one of the dozen er mure large clubs in New York now has a- kitchen where -> dinner can be prepared for sevt ral lumdred people with as much attention as the largest restaurants could give to it. Many large dinners have been at the new Metropolitan club. During the winter the Lotos gives half adczcii cinners in its each om- of which is altemli d by-MOO or more people, imd as many as 275 persons have been dined there. The University and the Munhuitan clubs give large diniiers from time to time. Os course such a dinner necessitates the services of <\-t a writ—r.. but it does not strain the kitchen service.— New York Letter. A Lraf cf Bread Over 600 Tears Otil.
