u&nsixH, reu. t. - cMinous resitients ot Michigan who care to examine the records of the office of the clerk of thelr county before the first of May wiU be rewarded by flnding, in a book kept for 8uch purposes, the record of the articles of association of one or more clubs, organlaed undcr act No. 22 of the public acts of 1883, entitled " An act to autliorize the formation of clubs for social pur[oses.'' Tliere seems to be nothing in thia law whereby clubs are obllged to mako 11 rnpnrt, or be accouuUiblo to any one.
