JOURNEYMEN BUTCHERS,
They Celebrated Their Ninth
Anniversary at Shell
Mound Park.
IT WAS A SPLENDID AFFAIR.
Athletic Games, Races, Bowling and
Dancing Kept the Fun On
Continually.

The Journeymen Butchers Protective
Association held one of the most success
full celebrations ever seen in Shell Mound
Park, yesterday. There was an immense
crowd in attendance, and the various
amusements went off without hitch.
The parade was one of the features OF the
day. The men assembled promptly in
front of Pythian Hall on Market street,
and Grand Marshal Armand Decourtieux
got them into line and start was made
within few seconds of the hour stated.
From Pythian Hall the line of march
wigs to Kearny street, thence to California,
thence to Montgomery, thence to Market
and the ferries. Decourtieux's chief aid
was Charley Johnson, and both men
deserve great credit for the manner in
which the procession was handled.
The Journeymen Butchers Protective
Association was formed in 1881, but it was
not until nearly seven years later that it
became a power in the trade. f. W. San
derson, John NJ. Madden, s. G. o Brien, R.
NJ. Crosse and Sol Isaacs were among the
charter members, but Sanderson and
Crosse are the only ones of the old-timers
left to compare notes. The members are
banded together purely for mutual benefit
and enjoyment.
AT present the organization has men,
berShip OF 600 on the books, and every eff
fort is being made to establish lodges in the
country, and so extend the usefulness of
the ASSOCIATION. The society in quiet
way does an enormous amount of good.
Situations are found for unemployed
butchers benefits are paid TO mem bers in
capacitated for work. and during the
past year over $4,000 was paid in death BEN
efits.
