RAILROAD ENGINEERS.

A bout One Hundred and Fifty Enjoy
a Day Off Away From the Throttle
Spent Near the shore OF the Sound
A Clambakc and SocialIty-The Old
Onicers Re-Elected-Captatn Foster
Lands His Party Despite n Bursted
Steam Pipe.
The animal excursion of the P. D. g. F.
was held at Lighthouse point yesterday.
This association is composed mostly of
engineers on the Consolidated railroad and
their friends.
The little steamer Messenger was espeo-
tally engaged to take the party to the point.
It had about $50 on board and left Belle
Dock yesterday morning on time. The
party dropped dull care and was a very
jolly one. When nearing their dsstina-
ton steam pipe burst, and it looked as
though the party would Drift around for
awhile. A passing tug was hailed, how
ever, and true to his promise Captain
Charley Foster landed the party on time.
At the point very fine olambake dinner
had been prepared by Messrs. Gillich and
Quinn. The party had had just enough
of salt water sail to get up good appe-
tite and attacked the dinner in q way that
made tho nicely prepared fish and CLAIMS
disappear very rapidly.
William Marley presided and the ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Mr..
George Corbett, the secretary, treasurer
and POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Henry n. Garfield of Waterbury,
who was formerly United States consul to
Greece, was the guest of the occasion. He
| spoke finely of the engineers and their
great responsibilities. He made a very
| able address. Mr.. Jerome Cook of
Brooklyn followed with few choice re-
marks. Mr.. William Epson of New York
| greatly amused the company by his comic
character Rotations. The party were
greatly pleased with the efforts of the
| managers of the clsmbake and reunion.
William Marley; secretary and treasurer,
George Corbett; were reelected. The fol
lowing advisory committee was elected:
William Marley, president; George Cor
bett, secretary and treasurer; George N.
Fessenden and Harry Ryan.
The name of the order is a secret and
the men take great delight in keeping thei,
fellow wo1kmen in mystery. The order il
composed of railroad engineers and few
other railroad men in various positions
