the most enjoyable day ever experienced
by them on their outings. The members
assembled at the headquarters, No. 543
Henderson street, and marched $50 strong
to the boat at the foot of Pavonia ave
nue.. This conveyed them to the rem
devious, which was reached after a
very pleasant sail up the East River at
noon. Dinner. awaited them, and the Bar
rvs did full Justice to everything set
before them. A number of friends of the
association visited the Point from New
York n Brooklyn and enjoyed the pro-
ceedings that marked the event. Ath-
letics is one of the great features with
the Barry Association, and they have a
membership which is partly made UP of
well known Gaelic football players and
athletes who have been noted In the old
country, and while football is the chief
feature, the interest in athletics is not
lost by any means. Both were united
yesterday, and these helped to pass the
time very successfully. There was a
strong interest In the athletics. and the
competitions afforded lots Of excitement.

try and the members fought hard for
the honors. The Barrys. can boast of
several first class all-around men, who

they grabbed hold of Barry and held
him until the others had quite a start.
