Boys and Girls of the City Outdo Their Parents in the Sport. A Score of Clubs Which Will Appear in the Gay Car nival Parades. THE NUSHKA CLUB. An Organization Made Up of the Best Society People. The Nushka Toboggan club, named after an Indian word for "Look, look!" is the boo ton club of young society peo ple. It usually escorts the lady selected to lax the corner stone, Its organiza tion dates from Nov. 15, ISS.">. W. 11. Hymlmau was its president for the first txvo years and M. J. Boyle was its first captain. Since Mr. Boyle's term of Office expired. J. C. Wall has com manded the •'flaming Nushkas." Luther I". Newport was the lieutenant at the first carnival, and W. F. Peet secretary and treasurer. C. Wright xvas lieuten ant last year, and J. N. Jackson filled the office of secretary and treasurer. This year the offices of secretary and treasurer are held by txvo men, Mr. Jackson being the * secretary and Henry S. Johnson the treasurer. These | gentlemen with Dr. Archie McLaren, the president, J. C. Wall, the captain, and W.N. Armstrong, the lieutenant. the present officers, except the executive committee, which is composed of M. J. Boyle, W. S. (Jetty. F. E. Hanson. E. A. Jagg a id, W. U. Lightner, L. P. Old way, W. A. Rice, George C. Squires and W. 11. Yardly. The executive offi cers also serve on this committee. The membership list of the club is limited to *.5 75___»_._-,- seventy-five ladies ' *"-** and seventy - five gentlemen. Carpenter's Look-out, on Summit ave nue, is the club rendezvous, and weekly tramps are made from here every Satur day night to Merriam Park, where din ner is served. The Nushkas join the Wanitas in the occupancy of the Look out, and the same brotherly spirit mani fests itself in the fact that the Crocus bill toboggan slide, which is over 2,500 teet in length, and xvas erected at a cost of over $1,000, is the joint property of the Nushkas. the Windsors, the Wani tas and the Town and Country club. The club uniform is of cardinal cloth with black Grecian border, the ladies wearing comfortable ulsters of this ma terial and combination. The toque is also a combination of cardinal and black, but the sash and stockings are black. The very unique way which the Nushka club has taken for its turnouts has excited much favorable comment. Two lug tally-ho coaches are used for the Ladies. These old stages are over thirty years old, and were used by Allen & Burbank on the line between St. Paul and St. Anthony. The old set tlers know them well, and when the old settlers of the state give their parade the coaches are promptly borrowed from the Nushkas.

The Windsor Toboggan club was or ganized during the autumn of 1885. It was the fourth club to come into ex istence, only the St. George's, Wakouta and ski clubs preceding it. The Windsor became famous by being awarded the prize offered by the Carnival association for the best display of floats at the afternoon parade of the Carnival of ISSr. A similar float to this prize float was Bitted up under the supervision of President C.J. Mon fort, and formed part of the great procession In honor of President and Mrs. Cleveland last fall, in the float the .lady members being 'seated and costumed in the white and blue uniform of the Windsor. The effect was so pretty that a lady fiom Waslung ton visiting here described it as a "lovely poem in white and blue." The Windsor club is made up of ladies and gentlemen of the best social ele ment of the city. It ranks second to none, it combines a taste for Carnival sports with an inclination toward socia bility. it is very energetic, and to its energy and enthusiasm, inspired by its president, is due the great credit of its toboggan and float turnouts. Mr. Mon fort does not try to copy after anything. He conceives a pretty tableau, and at once directs the building of a float to correspond with it. . There xvas a charming poetry about the float by which the club honored President and Mrs. Cleveland —the only float which put iv any ap pearance—and which was drawn by ten white horses formed in a triangle. The pyramid of lovely ladies beneath the beautiful canopy— the three shells containing dreams from fairyland, and the representation of a young maiden driving a swan— such was the concep tion of Mr. Monfort realized: and it can not be described by turning to the pages ot mythology, although tue theme reminded one of a voyage of fairies, in a fairy vessel, across a fairy sea, and tugged by a fairy swan, the three shell seats in the rear containing the fairy queens and princesses. The float is capable of holding seventy-five people, ami the ten horses are driven by postil ions in the Windsor uniform, the colors of which are 'white trimmed with blue, reminding one of the snow-covered earth meeting the blue sky. The club's badge is a monogram of *'W. T. C." in gold, black and red, upon a blue Maltese cross. The banner of the club, presented to it by Miss Annie Bunker, is of satin xxith a Maltese cross in blue, in the center of which the mon ogram of the club is prettily worked. "The Windsor club has appeared in all parades and joined in all excursions from the beginning: it has done its full share of work. It has never advo cated bouncing; on the contrary its members" use every oppor tunity to discourage the practice. The present officers" are: President, C. J. Monfort: vice president, T. Sharp; secretary. C. H. McGill: treasurer, E. J. Meier; captain. J. C. Shandrexx ; lieu tenant, H. 1. Chatfield; directors. W. C. Wilson. F. E. Powers, G. R. Monfort, E. A. Hemenxvay, W. C. Bennett. The officers are elected annually, and they, with the board of directors, have entire control of the club. The ladies have a committee of their oxvu. The Windsor club gixes txvo hops every season at the Winsloxv hotel, one before the Carnival opens, the other afterward. Last year the Windsor oxvned the Ramsey street toboggan slide, which it put tin at great expense. This winter it unites with the Nushkas. Wanitas. and Town and Country club in the possession of the Crocus hill slide. THE 80.,-, CALL. Following is a list of gentlemen xvho have been connected with the club: C. J. and G. R. Monfort.

WINDSORS AFLOAT. One of the liveliest times ever enjoyed by the club xvas during the first Carni val on the return from the Stillwater excursion, when the "Wakoutas to the rescue!" headed by Will Adams, their captain, attempted to clean out the Windsors. For a little while the car xvas the scene of a vigorous but good natured tussle. Finally, Will Adams xvas floored, and the Wakoutas made a quiet retreat. --* :*;. Vice President Sharp is a very hard xx-orking and energetic man, married and past forty. He xvas vice president last year, and was made the lieutenant when the club was organized. Capt. J. C. Shandrexv is a giant, stal wart, tall and lithe, an officer in the national guard, and one of the best drill-masters in the city. He carried the banner in ISSG. E. J.

An Enthusiastic Club That Ab sorbed the Old Wakoutas. The Wanlta club is made up of as fine a class of young men as can be found in the city. Many of the old Wakoutas have found their way into the Wanitas; in fact, the club Is largely com posed of ex-Wakoutas. Its uniform is a cardinal suit, with max -flower border in black, sash and stockings of black, black toque with red.turn-up, linlni** of hood old gold, and a jersey in cardinal and old gold, hori zontal stripes. The headquarters of the club is the west half of the Carpen ter's Lookout on m mit avenue, the Nushkas occu pying the other half. Saturday is run night.

I Two Hundred Well Known Peo ple Organized for Sport, Sum mer and Winter. It will be a long year of fun this year, j with the three eights in it and its 366 | days, for the Town and Country club, so ! recently organized as an all year 'round club, bent both upon winter car nival sports and summer suburban pleasures. This club includes the elite of the city in its circle of exclusive membership. It was organized on the night of Dec. 8, 1887, at a meeting which had responded to a call issued by Manly B. Curry and William Henry- Patterson. The idea of such a club originated in the fertile brain of Mr. Patterson. . At the organization meeting the en j thusiasts xvho had come together were: Maj. and Mrs. A. E. Bates, Judge and Mrs. George B. Young, Mr. and Mrs. j Tilden R. Selmes. Mr. and Mrs. Edward i 1. Frost' Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Seymour. Miss Isabel Bend, Miss Mamie F. Stur gis. Judge R. K. Nelson, Sam Daw son, Frank F. Mclnver, W. T. Max held. Morgan Brooks, 11. M. Cunningham, Dr. Charles Wheaton, R. B. Death, W. F. Peet, .Tared S. How, George V. Bacon, E. A. Young, J. 1?. McMurran, Walter S. Morton, F. D. Ha ger. Frank B. Clarke, Lane K. Stone. ll. R. Heath, Victor Robertson, F. W. M. Cutcheon. Kingsland Smith, S. A. Cro zier, Jr. Dr. L. N. Denslow, L. E. New port and W. H. Patterson. Maj. A. E. Bates was promptly made chairman, and Edward i. Frost secre tary of the meeting which resulted in electing the following officers for the year: President, Judge R. R. Nelson: vice president. Judge C. E. Flandrau : secre tary, Frank B. Clarke, and the follow ing executive committee: Messrs. W. H. Patterson, Maj. A. E. Bates, Mauly B. Curry, Edward I. Frost and Walter S. Morton.- •: The club has closed its books with a membership of 100 ladies and 100 gen tlemen. The costumes for the Carnival and winter fun are very nobby, being of dark blue cloth, with black astrachah trimmings, and made after the style of a Russian hussar's jacket. Toques are worn by the gentlemen, but the ladies have the privilege of wearing anything they please for their head-gear, from a little skull toboggan cap to a coquettish Tain o' Shanter. The large brick house at the end of Lake Como has been selected for a club house and general rendezvous. Here toboggan slides running toward the lake are being put up. and there are good skating rinks upon the lake's glassy surface. "OUItIXG THE WINTER the club will rendezvous regularly twice a month here. Those who desire to can go out on suowshoes, and those whose bents are more in the direction of com fort than muscular development will have sleighs provided for them. In the i summer, boats, bath houses, a tennis court, music, and numerous other enter- I taining things will be provided. A great ! object of the club is to induce people to I take advantage of the nlpji.ni>'- <-w,,^ I drive during the summer, and stables to | accommodate twenty-four horses are in readiness. The club house, which is a block from the Como station of the | Northern Pacific, has been thoroughly renovated and nicely fitted up. On the | right hand side of the entrance is the j reception room, and to the left, the ball room. Back of the reception room is the dining room, where meals will be furnished at the pleasure of the mem bers. In each of the reception and din ing rooms are great fire places, orna mented with buffalo and elk heads. Up stairs are the bill iard, card, ladies' sitting, and the dressing rooms. The use of the club house is not con fined to members alone, for friends of members, and non-resident guests, provided "they are accom panied by mem- v *a r _„ Ders ' Wlll be ten " ffmy J3.Li->W- dered the carte blanche to its hospitality. The opening occurred las. Friday night, the members of the club taking their sleighs at the I "Benedict," on Dayton avenue, xvhich xvas made the temporary rendezvous for the occasion. If there is any fun in having a leap year, there are enough favored maidens and willing young men in this organiza tion to make it interesting. Among the young ladies of the club are: Misses Sophie G. Hammond. Katharine 11. Gordon, Eva Hersev, B. T. House, Nellie F. Auerbach, Sallie G. Flanarau, Nellie Finch, Isabel H. Bend, Florence G. Williams, Roger, Mina Smith. Alice R. Bigeloxx*. Mary T. Stur gis, Emma and Laura L. Dawson, Lucille Stickkey, A. J. Sullivan. Sue Fairington, 11. Maude Smith, Juliet de 11. Smith and Mary A. Cooke, and among the very promising but timid young gentlemen xvho may succumb to the hit.li pressure of tiie leap year whims of other fellows' sisters are: Kingsland Smith, Victor. Robertson, Stanley Proudfit, Henry C. Wood, John W. Riddle, Hi. M. Williams, Alex R. Speel, W. F. Peet, William H. Patter son, E. K. Oilman, Dr. John F. Fulton, George L. Bigeloxv, Charles W.

Mr.Patter son being the secretary and treasurer of the executive committee, would he a very good catch. The older young men like Col. 11. P. Ruga and Richards Gor don, will surely not allow 188. to pass without an event. The younger married class are repre sented by Mr. and Mrs. Edward 1. Frost, Mr. and Mrs. John W.

The boys are all be tween fifteen and twenty years or age and mostly students of the High school.

Meetings are held by the club every other Tuesday. Quite a work of art is possessed by this club in its banner.

Having been a sufferer for two years and a half from a disease caused by a bruise on the leg, and having been cured by the Ccticura Remedies when all other methods and reme dies failed, I deem it my duty to recommend them.

Finlay (to whom I shall ever feel grate ful), spoke to me about Ccticura. and I con sented to give them a trial, with the result that lam perfectly cured. There is now no sore about me. I think I can show the larg est surface where my sufferings sprang from of any one in the State. The I'itk ira Rem edies are the best blood and skin cures man ufactured. I refer to Druggist John P.
