picnic took place at Jones Woods, a

the close of the festivities the firing

advisable to gather about the target for

Four Hundred. During the first years
Of my career as a leader. and while
American society was In an inchoate
state, 1t was the custom for New Workers
to picnic on the shores OF the Hudson
river, and so spirited did these Terpci-
chorean revels become that the jewellers
along the shore felt called upon to warn
the society people of their grounds by
means OF howitzers mounted at con-
venient points on the beach. | have
always maintained that society could
not exist in the face Of concerted oppo-
sition from the lower classes-an oppo-
sition which often took the form OF
fusillade of beer glasses-and so deter
mined to seek some more quiet
spot for our exclusive gatherings.
At this time the most popular pic
MICS were those which enlisted the
services of steamer and two or more
barges. For example, the "Mulligan
Coterie" transported their friends to
Ionia Island in four immense barges to
enjoy the annual midsummer festivi-
ties for which this aristocratic Fourth
ward organization has always been
famous. The four barges always bulged
with humanity on these occasions. the

the guests on the homeward trip, that
we were always sincerely sorry when
the arrival OF the policc-boat brought
the festivities to fitting and dignified

was the excursion by moonlight down
the bay. known colloquially as moon

convenient pier on the East river and
returned as soon as the beer was sold

document was unearthed showing that Mrs.

these securities which supplied Mr. Searles
with more than 100000 per annum, and
gave 1872, 500 annually each to Messrs. Still

When Mr.. Burley had finished reading

face, asked slowly ard impressively:
