THE OS AND MACS.
Members of Both Associations Re-
covering From the Big
Outing.


The Association has not yet re-
gained its equilibrium. The success
of Thursdays outing completely took
the breath away from some of the
Macs. The rooms have been crowded
since. and the standard bearer, who
has visited headquarters several
times, has been overwhelmed with
congratulations. The Macs are proud
Of the great event. and they have q
right to be.
The membership is now nearly
nine hundred. After such an event
as that of Thursday it can safely be
said the figures will soon climb to one
thousand.
Little or no political gossip has
beeu heard around the rooms since
Thursday. There is rumor. how
ever, that Prince Murphy is asking
for the Assembly nomination from
the old Seventh. now the Sixth. H Q
feels sure of being AssembIyinan
Madden's successor.
There are lots of claims among the
lieutenants in Thursdays parade as
to the distinction OF having the best
drilled section. Every one of them
took pride in the marching of their
respective sections, and the result was
that the marching of the entire body
was q credit to those in charge. But
certainly there was no finer drilled
section than that in charge OF Con-
Noonan. 1t was made up entirely of
Police Captain kelly's Finest.
Though not member of the com
mittee in charge of the outing ar
rangements, no one worked harder for
its success than Billy Herbert.
Fire superintendent John Brown
was perhaps the most soldierly look
ing man in the parade; Finance Com
missioner Kenny the most dignified.
Yet everybody admired the bearing of
Colonel Feeney and Lieutenant
Colonels Boltwood and Smith OF the
First Battalion, and the admirable skill
with which Lieutenant Terry Melon
aid handled the Second Battalion.
George Brackner was in command
of the Fourth district delegation.
King Simon, the Irrepressible, is a
staunch member of the Mclaughlin
Association. Judge Daley jocularly
remarked to him at the Grove dinner:
Simon, we're training q man in
Hoboken to knock you out" sSet
him up, coolly replied Simon, MUNICH
ing away on huge ear of corn. I'll
knock down any man you set up be-
fore me-
When the association gives its next
social session it will have to hire a
hail.
IlAmong the prominent officials of
Hoboken who came over with the
Coyle Association and marched in the

The O'NeiIIs
The O'Neills are waiting for the
cool weather to set in before deter
mining upon the date of the formal
opening of their newFheadquarters
President John Edelstein was at the
head of the O'Neills in Thursday
mornings parade. Each lieutenant
boosted of having the finest drilled
section.
Nat Fowler is said to have fallen
into a state OF innocuous desuetude
since the Macs outing, though why
this is thusIy my informant refuses to
explain.
Willie Mckinley, or mckinley
BILL as he is known by his fellow
O'NeilIs, denies that he is any relation
to Ohio's Bill.
Freeholder James Hennessy and
party took flying trip from Dom
nelIy's Grove Thursday afternoon.
The party returned in time to join in
the nights demonstration.
The O'Neill headquarters had the
handsomest decoration of any build
ing along the avenue on Thursday
night. and the decorations and pyro-
technic display in front of Mr.
O'Neill's residence in Wayne street as
the procession passed, has elected
words of praise from everybody.
John Ahern has returned from a
trip down East, and Steward Donald
sons business has since resumed its
old time spell of activity.
