the naturally happy party, and jokes and
gags were all over the boat.
Pnineas F0gg Murphy and Chris
Schlermacher created no end of amuse-
ment by their infmitable praul<s and
stories. Jack Sutton. Henry Eanley and
ex-Coroner Burke were in everybody
else7s way including their own This

Walter Farrell was duly elected Com
modore TO manage the skipper, a well
merited recognition of his ability IN the
line OF navigation; but before long he
had a dispute with Commodore Arm
strong, formerly of the q. S navy, and
for while mutlny was threatened. The

not one OF the party. A game of base

John McCullock and Walter Farrell
captalned the quot teams FarreIl's
style of delivery and fetch knocked his
opponents silly.
the event of the day was mile dash
between Andy Cullen, Harry Brinkerhoff
and John McCullock The latter scratched
fifty yards. Chris Schlermacher was
not allowed to enter, on account of IN
professional conduct in the adjoining
hen houses, where eggs are supposed 10
remain until after their mother is
through cackling. The trio started
of in fine form. McCullock
fell in his tracks, Brinkerhof was close
behind, and Cullen a good third. As Nc
Cullock fell Brinkerhoff toppled over
him, and Cullen ran around the heap and
won easily. McCullock sold the race,
and those who lost on him took bath
externally and internally TO cool them
selves of.
The trip home was delightful and en-
hvened with song and speeches. The
members will long remember the annual
outing of 80.
