number Of inaccurate statements have recently
been published in regard TO the annual clambake OF
the Harlem Republican Club. +. NJ. Cutler, the
chairman of the committee having the arrangements
in charge, said to Tribune reporter: "Those pub
Mo fha Har-
lem Republican Club in very unpleasant light We
are not going to unite with the Hoboken Turtle Club
I'm an annual clambake at Larchmont as some pub
lshed accounts have 1t. We simply accept the In
vation Of that club to use their ground at Larch-
mont for annual clambake. Tile Hoboken Turtle
Club is not political club There are Democratic
members in it as wen as Republican. The Harlem
Republican club is political club and to have it
announced that the two clubs were going to unite
in an annual clambake is very misleading. Any
member of the Hoboken Turtle Club can invite out
siders to the club grounds at Larchmont. / am
member of the Turtle Club, and 1t is my invitation
that the Harlem Republican Club hold their
clambake at Larchmont. The report that the
two clubs are to hold their annual meetings to-
gether is false and You will be doing all concerned
great favor by contradicting it,
The clambake Of the Harlem Republican Club which
will be held at Larchmont September s. promises to
be one Of the most successful in the history of the
club. Already over 100 applications for tickets have
been received and it is confidently expected that
200 tickets will be sold. Prominent speakers will |
be present.
From present indications the entries from the Harlem
clubs to the New Engand regatta will be unusually
large. The Atalantas will send several crews and
there will be entries from the Nonparels, Manhattans
Metropoitans and Unions. Arrangements have been |
for reduced fares to the regatta Labor Day.
On September the Gotham Wheelmen will hold |
their autumn the Kingsbrdge course. Tho |
races will be from one to i've miles.
The Clipper Athletic Club has decided to hold its |
first annual fishing excursion september 49, The |
excursion will leave and
