EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of The Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considerate attention to the welfare and
pleasure of their employees. The Centen-
NAL Exhibition afforded an opportunity for
it's practical illustration, which should not
pass upnoticed in this article. Desiring to
give all their operatives an opportunity to
witness the great Exhibition at Philadel-
phia of what the nation had accomplished
during the first hundred years of its exist
ence in industry and art the company
planned and carried to complete success a
monster excursion to Philadelphia, which
embraced their fifteen hundred employees,
with invited guests, members of the press,
and the mayor and Common Council of the
City of Newark. Some idea of its extent
may be gained when it is known that forty
five railroad coaches were employed for
their accommodation, and the cost for
transportation, admission, entertainment,
etc., exceeded six thousand dollars. But this
large sum is small compared with the unal-
leyed pleasure which was afforded the grand
army of industrious people who find en-
ployment at the Clark Thread Company
Works in Newark. The Common Council
passed and caused to be beautifully en-
crossed and presented to the Company, a
series of resolutions from which for lack of
space we copy only the following extract:
Resolved That we witnessed with great satisfac-
ton the kindness and attention shown by the off,
GERS of this Company to their fifteen hundred
working people, and the evident good feeling that
exists between them; recognizing that when labor
and capital thus harmonize prosperity must ensue.
RESOLVED, That the location of the CLARK
THR n immense
works, and their army of operatives, has proved
vast benefit, and that Newark is and should be,
Justly proud of her manufactures, on which her
growth and prosperity must ever depend, and that
this municipality should foster and encourage by
every proper means their establishment and sue
cess.
Resolutions of thanks to the Company were ais
passed by the employees.
THE EUREKA BOAT CLUB AND THISTLE BAND.
The now famous crew, which came so
near winning the prize against the world at
the Centennial International Regatta last
August, is from The Clark Thread Com
pany's Works principally. 1t has a Ii of
thirty-fIve active and about forty honorary
members. 1t is the champion crew of the
Passaic, and has beaten the celebrated At
| lantic crew of New York. They won the
first heat on Monday. August 28th, 1876, at
Philadelphia, beating the Dublin and
Areonauta crews. On the second day they
were beaten by the celebrated Beaverwycks,
of Albany by only six seconds, the Beaver,
wycks winning the championship of the
world on the last day, the Newark boys of
The Clark Thread Company coming very
close to the championship of the world
The Thistle Band, one of the best in the
state is organized from the employees of
the company and plays for all the many
excursions and festivals of the employees
beside answering outside calls when made.
They accompanied the Eurekas to Phila
delphia, and also the grand excursion of
the employees to the Centennial last year,
and always play at all the regattas in which
the Eurekas take part.

At No. 400 Broadway, corner of Walker
street, New York, is the splendid marble
building of George A. Clark & Brother, the
