Several members OF the Bartenders'

party and 10 have guided them. They
were To have gone to Newport from Saun-
derstown and taken I'm the ten-mile drive
as well then back home. but now all that
is Off and those who were not invited are
giving the fellows the chuckle
When II was found that the auto tris
was out II was then decided TO take in
the trip to Newport via the steamer
| Mount Hope, so as not to have all the
| hopes spoiled. The members OF the par
| " were Messrs. John smith, McCarron.
Phil Bausch and Donahue.
