PAYoNfA oLUB,s rs4cHTsMEN HAD
A GREAT FEAST.

The annual Dinner and Reunion at the
Close of the Season 3 Big Success
Who We're There and Wha They
Did-Notes About Sports.
Pepsin is in demand today to relieve
overworked digestive organs and fixes to
soothe disturbed nerves are in order.
The Pavonia Yacht Club had their an
nual clambake yesterday.
The axiom about temperance in all
things was forgotten. 1t is rule that is
generally observed at an ordinary feast.
This was not an ordinary feast. 1t was a
genuine, original Jacobs Rhode Island
bake. Captain Mittelsdorf was the
cuisine. He has been''thar before and
is no novice, as the sufferers now attest.
They are not to be blamed for being in
judicious. 1t could not be avoided. The
smoking hot edibles were delicious and
irresistible. The appetite grew as the
feast progressed and the more one ate the
hdngrier he got. 1t was q struggle be-
tween judgment and capacity, and judg-
ment vas left.
The Victims of dyspepsia, who have
learned a lesson they will never forget,
would forget the agony they have since
endured if the same feast was put before
them again-they couldn't help it. Such
CLAIMS, chicken, lobster, fish, green corn
and other vegetables and shxin's" are
rarely served.
A corps of walters were on hand, but
they could not supply the good things
rapidly enough to meet the demands OF
the consumers, and several yachtsmen
had to assist in the service, while Len
Boyd and others had to give a helping
hand to Uncle Hiram, the colored chef, in
fha kifrhan Thau otaonad 5iohac notc
and pans. The committee expected to
entertain 200; they had to attend TO dou-
BILE that number. Ladies were there.
The next Governor of New Jersey was
not there. He sent a letter of regret.
This reference to the next Governor is
not intended as a display of political
prejudice. 1t is a safe prediction unless
the angel of death steps in or General
Grubb gracefully ~reIires, as letters were
received from both candidates. A letter
was also received from Mayor Cleveland.
The club anticipated having the spread
in a large tent on the lots adjoining the
house. 1t was too cold and uncomfort-
able outdoors and the tables were laid in
the club house. The meeting room on
the second floor was given TO the ladies
exclusively. The men had tables in the
two rooms on the first floor.
The feast began at two O'Clock, and
four hours later the tables were still
occupied.
The supply was ample, and the hungry
gamins who gathered about the spot
where the good things were being stimuli
taneously baked and steamed were fed.
sgehe tent was crowded constantly. The
liquids were distributed there. It is
needless to state that the committee was
kept busy.
An orchestra arrived at dusk and ar
excellent instrumental and vocal concert
was given. 1t was late last night when
the festivities ended.
Among those VINO enjoyed the feast
were Dr.. Schweig, of the New Rochelle
Yacht Club; Commodore Prinley, of the
Cunarsie Yacht Club; Commodore
SteIger and Vice Commodore Freeman, of
the Hudson River Yacht Club; ex-Sena-
tor Noah Taylor, Captain Ben. Brown,
of Fair Haven; Commodore Kohn, Coun-
sellor Norman Rowe, and not least by
any means, Ras Lewis, who tips the beam
at 475 lbs. or Whereabouts.
During the afternoon the owners of the
Square and theAhnieJ .had a race round
the channel or SQUAD buoy. 1t was be-
fore q spanking breeze. The Square won
and Dick Prindle was so happy that he
INDUCED in a second installment of din
ncr. The Phantom took ABOARD a large
number of guests andthe sailing qualities
of the swift yacht We're tested in a spin
about the Bay. The Christine returned
from Seabright while the feast was OF
and Captain Chester, George Holmes and
Sim Smith Joined the merry throng.
1t was a jolly day for h Pavonia boys
and their friends.
