They were ali there.
The talent is referred to. 'sBobn was
there, "Deuny' was on hand, George was
in command of the association, Johnny
was there for the second flow, and no
one was missing-tha is, from the
County Court House.
The City Hall and the city bonds were
In it.
The acting Mayor. of course, was there.
City Collector O'Neill was there too, and
it was amusing to watch him, for he was
bent more on business than pleasure and
was constantly at work to see that inter
est did not flag. He would have used a
beer keg plug as gag, but the enthusi-
astic crowd permitted enthusiasm
to get the better of judgment and
plugs were not popular. The City Clerks
office was represented by Tommy Cum
mings, the genial Jerry appeared for the
Treasurer's Office, the Comptroller and
his adjutant We're ABSENT for the Alder
men appeared O'Neill and Connolly with
several exes and the Tax Board, we'll,

The Governor, of course, kept his word
and was on hand. Colonel Speilman was
with him, but the Colonel left early. The
Governor after being escorted to the boat,
rather boat and barge, went to his Office
and arrived on his yacht two hours before
the association quit the grove.
He reached there in time to see two box
ing bouts and was pleased. He came
back with the excursionis,s. On the trip,
which was made in good time, the Mayor
swapped sweet nothings with the Sheriff
1t was, of course. in reference to the
county ticket, and the Mayor has no di-
rect interest in it.

to mention the fact that he will not be
the next Alderman from his district.
The only one of the coterie missed was
Eddie Dugan, but as he appeared at the
grove later in the day he was forgiven,
despite the fact that he returned as he

Borrowing the words of the crowd, he
lost his grip with the gang by his display
of superiority
The ex-ofhcials were numerous. They
talked of the good old days when they
were In. office in anticipation that they
might slip In. A lively tug was secured,
and the party was landed at the grove at
noon. The association marched to the
grove, but on reaching the dancing plat
to note how they paired off.
A dozen who might do better politically
united about one table and did the wine
trick, and parted. with the impression

who popped corks at five dol
lars a cork because they were
out for fun. Murty Collins and a
few more of his stamp ordered a nice cold
bottle for this reason solely that he was
out for pleasure. There were others who
measured and weighed each guest to de-
termine how much each glass Of wine
had strengthened them.
AT THE GROVE.
Immediately after arriqing at the
grove the gong sounded for breakfast.
Billy Heller. who seems lost when not
doing hard work, did il yesterday and
had an able lieutenant in Joe Buckridge.

O. Clarke had their pictures taken in a
group. OF course. dozen or more were
not in the group. They were notified,
but failed to appear until it was too late.
The games followed. They were run on

excitement. Sheriff Davis, Surrogate
O'Neill, Register Fielder and Commits

The Sheriff distanced the field.
O'Neill won second In the pig
race Marty Collins had cinch,. He knew
how to toss q porker. The pig was not
caught until he was ready to drop from
exhaustion. A practical joker
supplied the grease. A base
bail match was started between
the married and single men, but the rain
interrupted it in the last half OF the first
inning.
The Governor witnessed two lively box
ing bouts. One was between Dunn and
Dwyer and the other Durdin and Harmon.
