EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of The Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considerable attention to the welfare and
pleasure OF their employees. The Centennial
Exhibition afforded nm opportunity for its
practical illustration which should not paas
unnoticed in this article. Desiring to give
all their operatives an opportunity to wit
NESS the great Exhibition at Philadelphia OF
what the nation had accomplished during
the first hundred years of its existence in
industry and art, the company planned and
carried to complete success monster ex-
cusion to Philadelphia, which embraced
their fifteen hundred employees with invit-
ed guests, members of the press, and the
Mayor and Common Council of the City OF
Newark. Some idea of it's extent may be
gained when it is known that forty five rail
road coaches were employed for their ac-
commodation, and the cost for transporta-
ton, admission, entertainment, etc, exceeded
six thousand dollars. But this large sum
is small compared with the unalloyed
pleasure which was afforded the grand army
of industrious people who find employm ent
at the Clark Thread Company Works in
Newark. The Common Council passed and
caused to be beautifully engrossed and pre-
sented to the Company, a series OF resolu-
tons from which for lack of space we copy
only the following extract:
Resolped. That we witnessed with great satisfac-
ton the Kindness and attention shown by the OIL
GERS of this Company to their fifteen hundred work
ing people and the evident good feeling that exists
between them recognizing that when labor aud
capital thus harmonize, prosperity must ensue.
Resolved, That the location Of the CLARK THREAD
COMPANY in our city. with their immense works,
and their army OF operatives, has proved vast
benefit, and that Newark is and should be. Justly
proud of her manufactures OH which her growth
and prosperity must ever depend, and that this
proper means their establishment and success.
Resolutions of thanks to the Company were also
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 list OF
thirty-fve active and about forty honorary
members. 1t is the champion crew of the
Passaic, and has beaten the celebrated
Atlantic crew OF New York. They won the
first heat on Monday, August 2sth, 1875,
at Philadelphia, beating the Dublin and
Argonauta 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,
besides 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 the reg"ttas in which
the Eurekas take part.

street, New York, is the splendid marble
building OF George A. Clark 4 Brother, the
selling agents OF The Clark Thread Com
pany. The entire five stories of their mag
nilicent place are fitted up with every ia.
ciity possible for the prompt transaction OF
their immense business.
