The members of the Builders ex-
change, accompanied by their wives
and families to the number of 100 par

over to pleasure of all sorts, and the
members who attended voted the affair
the most successful that the organiza-
ton ever held. The members came
early and stayed late at the park, anG
two games of the national pastime were
INDUCED in by picked teams. An inn
promptu game of foot ball also COM
manded the attention of the members
for a while.
The event of the day was the clam
bake prepared by Daniel Moulton,
whose name is renowned all over the
country for the excellence of his art
In the matter of getting up a success
tul bake. The entire party did full JUS
tice to the CLAIMS and the fixings.
After dinner the party adjourned to
the base ball diamond, where E. w.
Hayden, the local civil engineer, made
the claim that he had an aggregation
or ball tossers that could beat anything
that ever came down the pike. Arthur

statements of Mr. Hayden and to set
tie the argument, the two selected their
teams, and the battle royal was on.
The first game resulted in a win for
the frisky colts captained by HAYDEN,
who administered a sound defeat to
Capt. Kimball's men by piling up 21
runs, while the latter was kept busy
trying to score 7.
