THE MACS BIG WEEK.
The Trip 10 EldOrado and the
Sail 10 Iona Island.

The Macs have had a great week.
The excursion on Monday night to
Eldorado was but a prelude, as it
were to the great annual excursion to
Iona Island on Wednesday.
AS the McLau ghlins We're about to
start for Eldorado to see King Solo
mon,n and incidentally King Simon,
on Monday evening, the standard
bearer noticed fat Billy Herbert and
Joe Gerber about to steal away to get
car. Denny hailed them right away
and told President Minihan to give
the colors to them to carry
with the members who were GO
ing to walk to the Hoboken ferry
for the chartered cars. Billy kicked,
but when told that it was Denny's
wish he became quiet. When Ell
Ferber found Manager Walker and
President Minihan awaiting them.
Manager Walker in bis blandest
tones informed President Minihan
that the elephant that took part in
the big parade was sick, and that he
must have a substitute Ma nager
Walker thought it would be excellent
to have Herbert and Ferber do the
elephant act, and after great deal
of persuasion the two Johns were in
duced to don the elephant skin, and
with President Minihan in the how
dab they paraded the grounds with
out exciting the least suspicion.
Pierce Fleinming and Jeremiah Muir
ply made excellent officers as as
sistant directors OF dancing aboard
the barges and steamers that left
Jersey City with six thousand excur-
sionists on Wednesday.
Indeed, it was said that Pierce was
dancing all next day at his Office
Two car loads are said to have been
left at the grove.
Pierce Flemrning is said to have cut
the initials !" ID. III. LII while leading
the grand march aboard one OF the
barges.
Johnny Hooper's arts in the oscu-
lating line are said to have been such
a predominant feature OF the associa-
ton that a girl who attempted to kiss
him coming down the steps missed
his osculating apparatus and fell
down stairs. AT least this is the cause
attributed to the catastrophe which
happened on the stairway or one of
the barges on the homeward trip.
In order to show that he was thor
oughly Democratic, the King OF Wee
hawken smoked a long stemmed clay
pipe aboard the barges and steamers
of the Mclaughlin excursion last
| Wednesday.
The returns are not all yet in from
the holders of excursion tickets But
the indications are strong. The entire
number of tickets 5000 issued were
all sold
Ed. Kenny and James Connors, who
had the bar privileges, are said to
have cleared $500, Notwithstanding
their expenses were 1877 before leay-
| ing the wharf at Pavonia ferry.

McLaughlin's club house as it did to
