JUST WHAT HAPPENED.
Annual Meeting of the New Haven
 Bartenders Union

Annual Meeting of the New Haven
 Bartenders' Union. -
 At the recent annual meeting of the New Haven Bartenders union there Mas an interesting three-cornered con- test for the presidency. The candidates were Thomas F. Ryan, wno has been acting agent of the union; Thomas Dunlap and Jacob Luft. For several weeks previous to last Sunday, when the meeting was held, the friends of these three men were actively engaged in vigorous but good-natured cam paign to land their candidate, and the predictions that it would be close came quite true.
 President James T. Mccarthy called the meeting to order and William Greenspun was appointed clerk. Three tellers were also appointed for each man-and they were Joseph Hoff- man, Bernard Mcclure and Joseph Da- wis. The first ballot was informal, and of the 1S2 ballots cast MT. Ryan receiv- ed 66, MT. Dunlap 27 and MT. Luft 39. Following precedent, MT. Dunlap, being the lowest man, dropped out and a for nal ballot was taken for Messrs. Ryan and Luft, which resulted in the former being elected by a vote of 70 to SO. which was made unanimous on the mo- ton of MT. Luft himself
 The ether officers elected follow: ce-president, Bernard Higgins; financial secretary, c. w. Doerschuek; recording secretary, Frederick Brick; treasurer, Samuel c. Graves; chaplain, Edward Moriarty; inside guard, Bar tholomew Miniter; outside guard, Frank F. Keefe; board of trustees, Thomas $. McGuinness, Charles New man and William Daley.
 The union is in strong financial con- dition, and there is a strong sentiment for it's further upbuilding, both as re gards the character of its members and it's position as a union.
 The report that Martin Gray was a. candidate for the presidency was en- tirely erroneous. MT. Gray never sought the place and never wanted it, as he is too busy with his other duties
