THREE GREAT DAYS
AT PUBLIC BATHS
Over 10000 Bathers Recorded on Sat-
urdav, Sunday and Monday at
Harriet Island.

The past three days at the nublic
baths have been record breakers. Sat-
urday, 6,218 bathers were recorded; ;
Sunday the number was 1908, and yes
terday the figure was a few over 1000.
The receipts were $108.S1, $20703 and
$125, respectively. In addition to this,
the grounds were thronged with pleas
ure seekers.
Sunday was the banner day. in fact,
at no time since the institution opened
for the season has the weather been as
ideal. Saturday a rain storm inter-
rupted when the days business was at
it's highest, and last night the atmOs-
phere was so cold that it deferred
many from entering the water. These
conditions have prevailed ever since
the season opened, but despite it DR..
Ohage has strong hopes Of exceeding
his record of year ago.
Harriet island is becoming a great
resort for picnic parties, and the calls
for the setting apart of certain days for
certain societies and organizations is
becoming frequent. On Wednesday
the Royal Neighbors and a church or
ganization will use the island as a pic
mic grounds, and on next Sunday the
local Order of Druids will have the
grounds This privilege includes the
right to sell refreshments. For the ac-
cOmmodatiOn of those who bring music
along and desire to dance the pavilion
in the center of the grounds is being
enlarged.
A notable increase this year is in the
number of batherS who bring their
own suits. No revenue is enjoyed from
this class except where they purchase
a locker for their clothes, but DIR.
Ohage says they are welcome just the
same. The small boy is in the major
ity in this respect.

John Heating, will occupy itself with
the extension of the order, and will
take action on the death of Archbishop
Feehan, of Chicago, the national chap
lain of the order. His death is the
more deeply regretted as he was car
rylng on an important work in or
ganizing the ranks of the order in the
old country. We expect that the or
ganization in Ireland and that in the
United States will be united in the
next six or eight months.
AS to the charges that the executive
has been influenced by the Clan Ma
Gael or any other body, I will say that
the administration for the last four
years has been as conservative as any
can remember in my long connection
with the order"
Against the Clan Ma Gael.
An anonymous circular is in circu-
lation calling upon good Hibernians
to oppose any resolution which may
be offered indorsing the Clan Ma Gael.
President Heating has announced
that he is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton. James E. Dolan, of Syracuse,
N. Y, national vice president, and
John A. Ryan, of Boston, are men
tlOned as candidates.
The national directors decided to ad-
wise the convention, through Presi-
dent Keating's report, to refuse all re-
quests of collateral societies of Irish
men for aid.
1t was announced that the ladies'
auxiliary will ask to be given a sep
arate Independent organization and to
be recognized as one Of the branches
of the order. In view of the fact that
many members insist that such action
would set a bad precedent and would
entitle the Irish League, the Clan Ma
Gael, the Gaelic leagle and other or
CARNATIONS to be given the same priv
ileges, the directors agreed that a par
agraph advising conservatism shall be
inserted in President Keating's report.
Boer War Denounced.
Resolutions denouncing the Boer war
as the most unjust conflict of modern
times and sacrifice to ambitions to
statements were incorporated in the
