Held at fuckers Rock Saturday
An Excellent Program Of Field Sports Was
Enjoyed by the Members Notes.

The members OF the Prospect Hill Hose
Company and their guests will long re-
member the bake held at fuckers Rock
Saturday afternoon. The affair was one OF
the most successful OF Its kind ever held
on the hill, and those who were present
were pleased that the members had decided
to stay near home. From the commence
ment OF the festivities In the early after
noon until the shades OF night bade the
boys disperse there was one long continual
course OF pleasant enjoyment and pleasure.
The bake was I'm charge OF William ii.
Boardman and 1t is needless to say the
good things came to the table In temp
ting and appetiziDg manner. Two ball
teams captained respectively by Andrew
Mcneil and Thomas II. Fay, attempted to
play ball, but Patsy Ryan bought up the
umpire and the game ended I'm tie.
Seven members entered into ball
throwing contest, and John Ryan threw
the greatest distance, and got meer-
schaum pipe. This was followed by
hundred yard race, with the same number
OF contestants, and again Ryan was to the
front and secured another pipe as prize.
In the meantime caterer William X. Ar
mold had arranged long row OF tables,
and at this the members, with their guests,
the Board of Fire Wardens, Capt. Thomas
b. Maymon of the present company, other
district officials and newspaper men, sat
down.
There was nothing lacking in regard to
the necessary fxings which accompany a
first-class bake, and the universal opinion
expressed on all sides was that the COM
mittee, which consisted of Andrew Nc
Neill, Thomas Fay, John H.. Synon,
Michael Ryan and Patrick e. Ryan, had
outdone itself In the arrangements.
