 Good Time and u oakewnlk Followed.
 The pleasures and festivities attend ant upon the second annual meeting, elambake and field day of the Postal Clerks Mutual association of New England at Lighthouse Point yester- day were somewhat marred by the un- favorableness of the elements. Quite an extensive programme of athletic events had been arranged for, but these were necessarily postponed and all spent the time indoors.
 The committee of arrangements had provided for the accommodation of about 225 visitors, but only about one- half that number were present. At 2 o'clock short but important business meeting was held at Taylor's hotel, Lighthouse Point. Officers for the year were elected as follows: President, Frank F. Gillian of New Haven; vice president, one from each state, Henry c. Donovan of Norwich, William Can- nell of Boston, Charles G. Farrar of Newport, Vt.; Charles G. Stone of Concord, N. H.; William H. Davis of ri,Io II1IJ land, Me; secretary and treasurer, E. l.. Knowles of New Hampshire. Sev- eral changes in the bylaws of the association were also made
 After the meeting all present sat down to an excellent old fashioned clambake, which was one of Taylor's best. The menu included clam chow der, steamed long clans, steamed oysters, steamed round clans, steamed bluefish, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, chicken, lobster, green corn, tea, cof- fee, watermelon, pickles, chow chow, etc.
 It is needless to say the dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
