Van Rensselaer Clul May Change Its Quarters.

The board of directors of the Van Rensselaer Club is taking under advisement the changing of the club quarters. They are now located in Die E. L. Hollingsworth building on the south side Of Washington street, into which they moved about two years age Although they have five rooms where they are now located they find that the increasing membership and the plans of improvement they are making, that these ro wili not be spacious enough for their needs. Manager James H. S. Ellis, of the Ellis Theatre, has consented to rent his opera house to the club members and to rearrange the interior in any style desired by them. This building would make excellent quarters ; for the club, being large enough for' a dance, hall and capable of taking cape of a very large membership. The board cf directors of the club is taking the proposition under serious advisement and probably will decide to accept Mr. Ellis’ offer. The club was originated several years ago, its first quarters being >n the K. of P. building, where it remained for some time. About two years ago the quarters were changed to the present location, which at that time was large enough to take care of the membership. In the last few months, however,* the club has grown to such proportions that a change of quarters is imperative.
