HALF COULD
NOT Be TOLD.
Clam Bake Given by Chamber Of
Commerce Yesterday was a
Grand Affair.
BUSINESS FORGOTTEN.

The Chamber of Commerce Clam
bake at Cheeseuuakes yesterday was
one of the most successful outings
ever held in this vicinity and far ex-
ceeded all expectation. The crowd
went down on the 1. 18 train and had
a private car on the rear of the train.
AS soon as they boarded the car,
Schwartz's band, of four pieces, from
Railway, struck ub patriotic air and
all afternoon they entertained the
gathering with everything, from
funeral dirges to ragtime.
While waiting for the train, about
dozen baseball enthusiasts went out
on the large tleld opposite the depot
to get limbered up, and as soon as
they reached Cheeseauakes, Alderman
Cannon and doc" Crowther chose
up sides and a two inning game was
played. The score was 45-44 in favor
of Capt. Crowther's team.
After this the guests sat down to
the bake to which no pen can do
Justice. All that need be said is that
it was excellently prepared and
elegantly served. Ask Bishop if it
wasn't A corps of walters was in
attendance and there was plenty of
everything 'Nough said. The menu
was very artistically gotten up and
we'll arranged.
The prizes were then distributed
and no one disputed the fairness of
the judges Only about half of those
offered were awarded at the bake.
They are found below:
president, "silver" loving cup,
S. B. Morgan; Best swimmer, bathing
suit, Chief Burke; Chief Knocker,
mallet, John Hanson; Biggest nerve,
barrel of -four, B. M. Cannon Sleep
walking contest, nightgown, J. W..
Beekman; Meditation Knocker, pair
of trousers, DIR. w. E. Ramsay !;
Smokeless contest, 800 cigars, DR.. F.
Crowther; Ladies favorite, lady s
hat, T. F. Burke; Throwing the
knocker, factory site, N. W. Pierce !;
Worst talker. 10000 feet of gas, W.
H. Mccormick Homeless man, house
and lot, H. o. Bishop; Hesitation
knocker, felt hat '67, Henry Jones.
Then the Wurzburger Quartet sang
two or three selections which pleased
the audience immensely. The mem
bers of this quartet are T. j. Clark,
A. Nestor, s. J. Mason and N. W..
Pierce. They were led by ]. E..
Stricken. The athletic events which
next followed were most exciting.
The sack race, after four heats, was
won by B. M. Cannon, who was
awarded pair of water wings. The
three legged race was won by John
Dayton and E. K. Southwick. The
potato race, which was very amusing,
