The Harvard Club had a rousing house-warming Thursday night at its club house at No. 11 West Twenty-second street. The building is a four-story brown-stone front, elegantly fitted up for the club, with sleeping apartments, billiard room, library and all the paraphernalia of a first-class club-house. It is the first home the club has ever had in the twenty-two years of its existence.

An informal reception was held Thursday night, and a collation served. John O. Sargent of the class of 1830, the oldest living graduate, read an original translation into English verse of the twenty-first ode of the first Book of Horace. Fifty new members were added to the club roll, bringing the total to about 600.

Among those present at the reception were the following:

E. Ellory Anderson, Horatio Alger, Jr., George H. Adams, Charles C. Beaman, Addison Brown, ex Governor Daniel H. Chamberlain, Joseph H. Choate, Henry H. Crocker, Jr., Paul Dana, Secretary of the Treasury Charles S. Fairchild, Amos K. Fiske, Frederick G, Ireland, James T. Kilbreth, Charles F. McKim, Ogden Mills, Walter S. Mills, Peter B. Olney, Theodore Roosevelt, John O. Sargent, Edward Wetmore, president, Edward L. Parris, vice-president, and Nathaniel S. Smith, secretary, of the club. - New York Star.
