other Brooklyn clergymen. They stepped from
the train with armfulls OF fishing rods mystic
rious bundles flsh baskets, havereacks, UNI
brollas. and satchels. Tho Rev. DR.. Van
Dyke wore a suit Of stout mixed goods OF
anything but a preachers cut. and a soft
hat. the top OF which was smashed down fiat
upon his head from a collision with the trout
rods tho Rev. Arthur Crosby carried under his
loft arm. He had on boots tho soles OF which
were an inch thick. The Rev. Arthur Crosby
wore blue flannel yachtsman's shirt and soft
hat which had not so wide brim ns had tho

Rev DR. Van Dyke put his foot on the platform
than he turned around TO continue the talk
