Clinton street is becoming a favorite thoroughfare for clubs. In addition to the Brooklyn, which still holds the foremost place among local organizations of the kind, the Excelsior Club flourishes only a few blocks away, at the corner of Clinton street, opposite St. Ann's on the Heights. The Excelsior was originally an outgrowth of the old Excelsior base Ball Club, but it has loomed up into large prominence as a social organization of the better class. Its membership is of a quality and its code of regulations or a character that insures sociability in abundance without the objectionable features to be found in some other organizations.
