THR0NG HOW THE GAMES
WENT.
The sHorseshoe" was wee bit damp
when the William NJ. Barry Athletic and
Benevolent Association and its guests
yesterday left headquarters at Eleventh
and Henderson streets to march to the
Payonia dock on the way to WHzefs
Point View Grove, but it was red hot on
the Associations return.
Alderman Barry, the standard bearer,
who for twenty-five years had either
marched with the boys or marshalled the
paraders from the back Of prancing
steed. was obliged yesterday to occupy
a carriage, as he is just recovering from
asevere attack of rheumatism. He consid-
eredhimselffortunat that, considering the
mornings dampness, he was able to walk
around at all. But he was around the
crowd on the boat, going and returning,
and no one was more enthusiastic than
he during the games. He was partIcu-
larly enthusiastic over the defeat of the
single men by the married men in the
base ball game
From the time the Association left the
splendidly decorated headquarters until
the return amid blaze of fireworks the
trip was full of many interesting inci-
dents. There were political booms ga
lore but the most enthusiastic was that
of Peter A. Kane for the Democratic
nominatish for freeholder.
sAh, the freeholder," enthusiastically
cried Mr.. Barry from the upper deck of
the swift and well appointed steamer
Thomas g. Millard, as he watched the
Barry's boarding the boat. He also
warmly greeted Former Assemblyman
Edward A. Murphy, Alderman Sheehy,
bis colleague, who is looking for re-
nomination. At the dinaer table at the
grove some enthusiastic admirer shouted,
Whats the matter with our standard
bearer for the next Street and Water
Commissioner from this sectionT Ev-
erybedy On the Barry's outing yelled:
Hes all rightv'

the members as to whether they favored
Richard Fallahee for Surrogate or Clerk
John j. Egan, of the County Board of
Freeliolders, for the next Surrogate.
Prominent among those on the outing
were President Richard F. Connolly, of
the Fire Board, and Inspector Pretty
man.
1t is next to impossible to describe the
reception the Barry's got on their return
home. While they had to cut short the
morning parade on account of the shower
that came down just before the time for
the departure from headquarters the
night route as scheduled was carried out
to the letter. Despite all the pyrotech-
mic display and the noise occasioned in
various parts of the city many in distant
on fire. The Roaring Tinkers, thirty
FIVE strong, led by James Fahey, presi-
dent, Bernard Heavey, James O'Grady
and Denny Lenahan were in the parade.
The r. J. Keane Association was also
strongly represented. The committee of
arrangements consisted of Cornelius Du-
gan. John O'Keefe and Thomas O'Con-
nor.
