dock, w. l.. Kendall, ]. w. HolbFook,

! and George Lackey. At the end OF two
innings Umpire d. ]. Padula was put
off the diamond Mr.. Murphy, his aide
! de-oamp was court marttaled, and Scor-
er w. A. Baseom lost all reckoning
when the ball was knocked out of he
lot. The sphere is going yet as far es
is known and II. H. Sibley circled the
| bases until exhausted. When the
smoke cleared the official scorer an
nounced that the Never Beatens'
were winners by a score of to 8.
During the official registration of
kicks and protests dinner was an
nounced. A genuine specimen Of the
real thing in the original variety of
Rhode Island clam-bake was served to
275 hungry men. The dinner was pre-
pared by Daniel l.. Mouton and was
served by c. S. Yeaw. Two large tents
were erected outside the pavilion to
accommodate the diners. Here is the
bill Of fare, served up with funny Jokes.

with unlimited jollying and accom-

Clam chowder.
Baked clans.
Baked bluefish.
4 Baked eggs.
Baked sau6ages.
Broiled live lobster.
Cold slaw
Tomatoes.
Cucumbers.

When the battle was over and the
wide tables were strewn high with &C.
bris and clam shells, Daniel l.. Moul-
ton stood aghast for a moment, then
without word of protest quietly stole
away to the edge Of the pond, tipped up
box and sat down to figure whehe it
all went to.
There was no speechmaking. There
was no time for commonplaces. Little
groups scattered about the grounds to
finish the interrupted game Of "Old
maid" while the other grouped on a
side hill for a photograph. Schervee
tried to impress on the irrepressible
the solemnlty of the occasion. but at
last gave 1t up, pressed the button and
called the sitting off. Songs followed
The musicians of the party entertained
the rest while the band after dinrer
returned the compliment for the music
which had accompanied their feast.
Then came the field sports. Boxes Of
cigars were offered as prizes in a series
of events, which included backward

served as the missile. No one cared
who won, for everybody knew that the
cigars were for the crowd whoever
won.
Joseph T. KesselI, who was in charge

events were abandoned in favor of a
tug-of war. When Ia commercial trav-
elers awake this morning to try to
move an arm or move a MUSCLE they

ocean cliffs, and refused to be budged.
Mr.. Cayanaughs team was an easy
winner, and in one final yank, pulled
the opposing seven men into a confused

left them to make connections with
themselves and each other as best they
