| the embarkation. Just how that jolly
! party of over three thousand men spent
| the day at the grove would be hard to
! tell The big steamer was crowded, and
| she was built for big crowds. On the up
| per decks conversation was &lmost
/ drowned by the continued answering OF
| salutes. In a great gathering OF men wno
| figure prominently in politics 1t is hard
| to pick out individuals whose prominence
| is greater than that of another. Many
| of the big guns did not go with the main
party, but reached the grove In the at
ternoon by other routes But these were
men whose professional engagements
prevent them from taking off an entire
day.

perintending the work of the committees
appointed to look after the comfort OF the
crowd One of the conspicuous figures Oh
eroup of old time admirers was Dennis
| Mclaughlin. who several years ago led
the association eighteen hundred strong
to the same grove. Up to that time 1t was
the greatest political outing conducted by
