A complete new' floor has been laid, and the old tables that formerly stood against the walls have been removed, thus giving the room a more spacious appearance. The whole interior is to be painted, and then the wai ls will be adorned with a number of new maps to be purchased per resolution of the Trustees. Maps of the world, sections of the world and portions of countries will be procured, beside any number of railroad charts. It is the intention, we are informed, of the new managers to make the room as attractive as possible, and thereby help to promote a mutual sentiment of cheery good feeling among the members.After the improvements have been completed iu the large room the {secretary's room will ^receive much needed attention, and will probably be somewhat improved in appearance. Speaking of the Secretary, we are reminded that this is the ninth year that Mr. William Thurstoue has served in that responsible position.BASE BALL.rttF.
