 The Nottingham associations fifth annual outing was held at Millers Grove, Westville, recently and was a very notable and enjoyable affair, the full membership participating-one hundred strong. The weather man must have been ''seen,'' for he certainly did do his part well in furnishing weather par excellence. which is the basis of enjoyment for all outdoor ex- Iereise. On arriving at the grove the members were met by the president, Daniel F. Nottingham, who in a very neat speech bade them welcome and be merry, and, judging from the smile he wore-and which, by the way, seems to never wear off-he must have felt highly elated over the success of his efforts, which were very much appreciated by all who participated.
 Refreshments and good cheer ruled the day, and not until the shades of evening fell did the festivities cease, when the members faced homeward, ,congratulating themselves on the hap py day they had spent and turning their thoughts to the next social and smoker, which is expected to take place isome time this winter.
 At o'clock the chef, MT. Shindler, announced the bake ready, and it must be said to his credit that he did him. self proud. The tables groaned under the weight of the good things provided for the inner man, and after the numer- ous courses were disposed of it was voted one of the best bakes that the members ever sat down to do justice to. The menu was as follows: Clam Chowder.
 Steamed Clans and Broth.

 Irish Potatoes, German style. Baked Chicken. z Baked Bluefish, stuffed. Evergreen Corn. Guilford Tomatoes
