 A 1 TTT1y.T .nF pYSI IfrArl r.f 1 member of the firm of Casey & Hur- ley, contractors, the firm that did the mason work on the Waterbury High school building, was among the many residents of the Park City who assist ed in entertaining the visitors from Waterbury yesterday. There was a bet between MT Hurley and two Wa terbury officials, Constable M. F. Car mody and Chairman Lawlor of the board of health, over which could eat the most lobster. A reporter of the Democrat was appointed as referee. The Bridgeport alderman came in ahead with the chairman of the local health board a close second. Among all the testing that took place on the excursion to Bridgeport yester- day there was but one display of bad temper and that occurred between James Wright of this city and a Bridgeport man named Hall. MT Wright was a member of the Seven teenth Connecticut Volunteers and has an honorable war record. Last night a few friends got talking over the time the regiment held it's last reunion at Pleasure Beach, when Hall remarked, "a cor Inn1yinU of Mir Wright, that that was the poorest reg iment in the federal army. They. lost great many men, to be sure, he said, but the fact that all their dead were wounded ill the back showed that they had made desperate effort to escape. The last word had hardly escaped from the mans lips when MT Wright had him by the throat and held him in his vice like grip until he had offered an apology for the insult offered to the men of the Seventeenth Connecticut.
 A more merry crowd of boys and girls never left the city than the thirty or forty who went on the 1:30 train to the camp of the Boys club at Wal nut Beach. They were in charge of Mrs Nicholas Combellack, who also had charge of the second batch of boys |
 and girls, who returned this morning after spending the week at the camp.
 Each year the members of the Boys club have an outing. Superintendent Combellack has charge of the arrange ments. The money for the outing fund is contributed by charitable persons throughout the city and a part of it is saved by the boys themselves. This year the fund amounted to about $500. Each week during the months of July and August 20 boys and 20 girls are taken to the camp. The boys sleep in tents, while the girls occupy q lneighboring cottage. They have plen- ty of opportunities to enjoy themselves. There are various amusements such as boating, fishing, swimming, etc. A nice shore dinner is enjoyed each day.
 While at camp the children receive the best of care and attention from Su-
 perintendent Combellack and his as sistants.
