pledge ourselves to give the strongest possible preference to cotton so baled. handled and sold.

trip across to the island and the general
excitement following the celebration
exercises, the ball and the opening Of the
club house had caused a slightly weary
feeling among many of the members.
So the morning was spent in sweet
dolce far niente, some of the more ener-
getic members getting up sailing and
fishing parties. E. A. Meserve and
Major Diss chartered the Fleetwing,
and. in company with Messrs. Shannon,
Schofield, Ritch Nordholt, James Has
kel and Jim Haskell, went around the
island on a fishing trip. Nothing was
caught, but Major Diss gave fine eX-
ample of everyman his own bait can,
distributing his impartially along shore.
