The annual game supper of the Omaha Sportsmen's Club took place at the Grand Central hotel last evening.

After the dishes were removed, calls were made upon various gentlemen, several of whom responded. It could scarcely be said that there was any speech-making. The remarks were chiefly personal recollections of the last hunt, and humorous hits at various gentlemen of the club. The "special course" received its share of attention, and called forth several explanations. Hon. G.W. Doane gave the ladies and gentlemen present a very pleasant talk. B.E.B. Kennedy, Esq., said he should advocate dancing at future club suppers, so as to bring the ladies out in greater force. Mr. John Wilbur made the hit of the evening, in his reference to the "glass ball supper" that the bank clerks had though of giving to the club in return for hospitalities extended. At 10:45 the club adjourned, having passed an unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. Thrall for the excellent supper he had spread before them.
