SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS.
BOARD OF TRADE.
The Topeka Board of Trade was organized in 1880, for the purpose of protecting and extending the commercial, mann- facturing and business interests generally of the city. Irregular meetings of the board are held in the office of J. B. Bartholo- mew & Co., 189 Kansas avenne, and regular meetings in the Council chamber of the City Building. The officers are: C. K. Holliday, president; P. G. Noel, vice president; J. G. Słonecker, secretary.
PIONEER SOCIETY.
The "old settlers" monopolize the name, fame and benefits of this organization. Its membership is limited to those who became residents of Topeka prior to 1857; and in commemora- tion of the location of Topeka, on the fifth day of December, 1884, an annual reunion is held on that date by the society. F. W. Giles, president, and J. A. Hickey, secretary.
CHIERRAH KEDISHA BICOR CHOLEN.
Which is the technical name of a Jewish society, organized in 1871, who own a neatly furnished hall on Seventh street, near Quincy street, where their receptions are held, including a business meeting on the first Sunday in each month., The object of this society is religious and social, the latter not being confined to any religious body. S. Barnum, president.
TURNVEREIN.
Organized February 10, 1867. Meet at their hall on the cor- ner of First avenue and Harrison street, on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. The present officers are: George Tauber, president; Chas. F. Smith, secretary.

Baker, treasurer.

mented by an additional twenty-four acres owned by the asso- ciation. Extensive and valuable improvements have been added to the grounds, and the track made by far the best in the West, and $10,000 more will be expended by the managers previous to the holding of the next fair. For particulars re- garding dates of next fair, address G. Y. Johnson, secretary, Topeka, Kansas.
ORPHAN ASYLUM.
This city has two auxiliary societies of the asylum which is located at Leavenworth, one of which is located in North Topeka. Funds are raised annually by the ladies connected with the institution, by giving balls and sociables through the winter months, and supplies of all kinds are collected as con- tributions to the asylum. Mrs. Geo. W. Veale has charge of the auxiliary society in this city.
INGLESIDE.
The name given to a homelike and Christian institution located on Twelfth street near Van Buren street, for the pur- pose of supplying homes and relief to helpless or self-supporting women. It is connected with the Women's Christian Associa- tion, an organization of ladies, whose chief object is charity and to relieve distress.
FREE AND UNEXCEPTED ORDER OF BACHELORS.
As early in the history of this city as 1870, under special dispensation of the "Spinsters' Hope," a brotherhood of bache- lors, miscegenists and celibates was organized, with the avowed object of resisting the combined influences of widows and old maids. Most of the original and charter members have long since come to grief, the victims of domestic infelicities, but the organization remains in a flourishing and healthy condition, having recently been augmented by its consolidation with the L. P. Club of this city, whose memory of the past is the only gratification they have to console them in the future. "Comme il faut."
SOCIETY OF FAIR-AND-FORTY.
This organization is strictly a mutual admiration society, composed of members of the "Band of Hope" whose hopes were blasted and never realized. Thirty is the mystic figure and password of admission to the bower of this non-beloved as- sociation, but as it is a well-known fact that it takes unmarried females a long time to reach that age, and that they never get beyond it, this society is not destined to become either popular or numerous in its membership. The sisters will no doubt be surprised to see this mention of their strictly seeret organiza- tion, but necessity knows no mistress, hence this duty to whom it may concern. H
