ter. There was also noticed the genial
face of Mr.. John ~Doerrbacker, President
Of the Washington Yacht CluD, who was
having lots Of fun. The boys OF Hancock
expect soon to have his name on their
roll. n a right good member he will
make. The festivities were in charge Of
Floor Manager Charles Engels, to whose
untirinR efforts the success OF the affair
is attributed. Valuable services were
rendered by Brother John Coughlin, who
had charge of the hat room, and Brother
John Genader, wh0 was on picket duty

lodges. Complications and embarrass-
ments have been caused by ignoring the
appeals of those far from home. The law

bers of Jersey City to shift for themselves,

stricken members. The Hoboken lodges
