any festive gathering at Odd Fellows
Hail. Jimmy is rather sore at the way
he was frozen out at the organization of
the new Board of Freeholders.

is very lively and great friend with the
ladies.

Clark, always smiling and happy: DR..
Lynch, the naval veteran, who delights
in telling war "reminiscences, and / must
not forget John Cuddihy and Joe Keefe,
whose invincibility at every game they
undertake has justly earned for them the
sobriquet of "1he Terrors."

caused a great deal of untasiness among
several of the justices, who very often ex-

the shrewdest lawyer in Hoboken. He is

power.
Commissioner Mike Coyle's place is the
trysting place of politicians, horsemen
actors and in fact every prominent per-
son in the city. The "Commish'' is a
good entertainer.
