and his cohorts gathered in the chief
tain's office, at 40 Court street, Brook

siderable attention, and were talked
about an the way over 10 the Old Domin-
ion pier In New York. The party had
chartered the entire rear saloon OF the
steamship Old Dominion. The first thing
that caught the Boss's eye, as he entered
the saloon, was an immense basket Of
chrysanthemums and roses which had
been sent by his constituents. The Boss
smiled. and then ia some mysterious
manner the table was filed with cold
bottles Of champagne. They soon disap-
peared, and the party became gay. Teddy

and was soon banging away an accom-
paniment TO Freddy Bader's song. which
tickled the Boss and everybody else.
