 Gathering 



The regular semiuionthl.v mooting of the Lum- 

 hormen's Club of Memphis was held at the 

 Hotel Ga.voso March 111 at 1 o'clocij. S. C. 

 Major was in the chair. The regular luncheon 

 was served and the attendance, while large, was 

 rather less than usual at recent meetings. 



The following new members were elected : 

 II. L. Stern of the Doolej'-Stern Lumber Com- 

 pany, active ; A. W. Euler, in charge of the ex- 

 port department of Bennett & Witte, active ; 

 H. W. Wheeler of J. W. Wheeler & Co., asso- 

 ciate. 



A letter was read by Secretary Thompson 

 from the Lamb-Fish Athletic Association of 

 Charleston. Miss., challenging the team of the 

 Lumbermen's Club for a game of ball any time 

 after April 1. The writer of the letter asked 

 that this matter be brought to the attention 

 of Ralph Bennett, who was captain of the 

 team during the past .vear. The game, it ar- 

 langed, is to be played either at Memphis or 

 Charleston. The association is composed of em- 

 ployes of the Lamb-Fish Lumber Company. 



John W. McClure, tirst vice-president of the 

 Lumbermen's Club, was elected manager of the 

 team of that organization for the ensuing sea- 

 son. Ralph Bennett, who was captain during 

 the past season, states that full organization 

 will be perfected within the next few days. 



Memphis now holds the championship for 

 baseball, so far as lumberdom is concerned, and 

 it proposes to defend its title against all comers. 

 In fact. Mr. Bennett wishes it made known 

 to the members of the baseball teams in Cin- 

 cinniti, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Nash- 

 ville and other cities that the Memphis team 

 is already beginning to practice and will be in 

 line shape for playing at an unusually early 

 date.

First Annual Lumbermen's Club of New 

 York 



The first annual meeting of the Lumbermen's 

 Club of New York was held at headquarters, (i 

 West Twenty-fourth street, on March 19, with 

 a large attendance. The president's and secre- 



tary's reports, covering the first eight months 

 of the club's life, showed a total membership of 

 100 resident and 86 non-resident, and a generally 

 satisfactory condition of affairs all around. The 

 officers also made some important suggestions as 

 to the future of the club, which were unani- 

 mously endorsed, viz. : 



That the dues of resident memt)ers be in- 

 creased to $30 and non-residents to $20, and 

 that the Board of Governors proceed at once to 

 carry out this recommendation and also such 

 other plans as will broaden the club lite and 

 prestige in both the matter of membership and 

 club facilities. 



This practically means an expansion of the 

 club on a scale commensurate with the prestige 

 of the trade of the great Metropolitan district 

 and an established effort to make it Ihe leading 

 lumbermen's club of the country. 



Tile following gentlemen were unanimously 

 elected to ftflice ; 



For president, Waldron Williams ; vice-presi- 

 dent. William P. Y'oungs ; secretary, Arthur E. 

 Lane, and treasurer, George M. Stevens, Jr,

 maker ; to serve two years, J. S. Davis, E. F. 

 Perry and C. O. Shepherd ; to serve three years,

Defiance Automatic Copying Lathe 

 The accompanying illustration shows the No. 

 Patent Automatic Copying Lathe, manufactured 

 i>y the Defiance Machine Works, Defiance, O. 

 This machine is the result of long and earnest 

 elTort on the part of the Defiance concern to 

 supply the ever-increasing demand for a lathe 

 capable of turning objects of irregular shape, 

 and of reproducing exact facsimiles of delicate 

 and intricate model with absolute and unerring 

 accuracy ; it can truthfully be said that this 

 effort has materialized. 



A New Bench Hand Planer 



Realizing the many practical advantages of 

 having a small hand-planer in the wood-shop, 

 the J. A. Fay & Egan Company, Cincinnati, has 

 designed a machine called the No. 2.34 Bench 

 Hand Planer, which it believes will fill the 

 requirements. Besides occupying very little 

 spi-'e, this machine will accomplish a great va- 

 riety of small work with greater rapidity and 

 convenience than a larger type, and is as com- 

 pletely constructed as any of the largest ma- 

 chines. 



Tables GVi inches wide by 20 inches long are 

 adjustable on long, gibbed inclines, free from 

 vibration ; the fence is arranged at a 4.3 degree 

 angle. The cutter head bearings are of improved 

 self-oiling type, the manufacturers' Safety Cir- 

 cular Cutter Heads being an additional feature. 

 With each machine is furnished, when ordered, 

 at slight extra cost, a bench box upon which it 

 can be set. This box is open at the top to re- 



DEFIANCE NO. COPYING LATHE 



The lathe is especially designed for turning 

 such articles as hames, side bars for saddles, 

 hat blocks, golf stick heads, gun stocks, handles, 

 spokes and similar articles up to .36 inches in 

 length and 6 inches in diameter. An exact re- 

 production of any model, of any shape, is pos- 

 sible. In addition, either end may be made 

 larger or smaller than that of the governing 

 model, by a simple, quick adjustment. An at- 

 tachment for turning both rights and lefts accu- 

 rately from one model is furnished when espe- 

 cially ordered, at a nominal cost. 



The machine is fitted with a heavy one-piece 

 frame ; the head spindles are fitted into long
