QUINCY GRANITE MEN
ON ANNUAL OUTING
Went TO Nastasket Saturday And Had
a Good Time Although Raticns
Were Short.

The summer outing ri the Quincy
Granite Manufacturers Association on
Saturday, says the Quincy Ledger, was
very largely attended, about 300 partici-
pating ia the trip to Nantasket There
were so many more than expected that
the Rockland House WAS unable TO serve
satisfactory dinner This was a great
disappointment to the committee, but So
many purchased their tickets that morn
ing that II upset all calculations
However the day was 0neofenioyment
Vi was high tide when the special train
from Quincy pulled into The Nantasket
station at II Il. M. and a large excur.
sion from Worcester and vicinity arrived
by steamboat ut the same hour.
Had the Quincy men not been deco
rated with badges, they would have been
known AS members of one party, for
each wore beautiful dahlia, the gift
fof George j. EIcoek OF West Quincy.
THE choice flowers attracted much at
gtcntiou and were priced by their wear
fers
Several Of the party enjoyed dip in
fold ocean and found everything at the
metropolitan bsthbouse scrupuionsly
clean and inviting. Fully 500 were in
the. water at one time, and it was q
sight to witness.
The granite men also enjoyed a very
Exciting ball game. Teams we're chosen

ex Representative Harry Nichol, the
former composed largely Of West Quincy
men were known as the CLANS, while
the South Quincy men were known as
HOLSTERS.
The battery work was something won
derful On both sides, but the curves were
so intricate that they got by the catch
ers. The fielding, however, was so per-
feet and the runenrs SO tired, that only
few runs were scored.

score one swears BY, but the facts are
that the game ended IN tie, il score

At the dinner there were no speeches,
lalthough several We're credited by Boston
papers with fowerv remarks President
Miller and The committee did all the
talking, and it was mostly directed to
the proprietor of the house.
Paragon Park had attractions for
most OF the party, as everybody had free
admission Many made the rounds OF

Deed Of 1915 Just Filed.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A deed was filed on Friday In the Queens
county clerks office in Jamaica OF con-
veyance Of about eight acres of woodland
at East Jamaica by Daniel Gracy to yere-
miah Skidmore for $3.50. The deed is dated
May 8, 1915, and was only filed few days
ago In order that clear title could be
given to the property which has recently
been sold.
This parcel conveyed in 1915 for $3.50, was
but few days ago sold for $500 an acre,
or $4,000 for the same parcel.
The paper upon which the deed was drawn

To Prevent Alpine Accidents.

Tho annual list Of fatalities among AL

startling and ominous suddenness.
The Alpine clubs Of italy and Switzer-
land have taken the matter up with evil
dent determination to adopt preventive
measures Of an effective and far-reaching
nature They have ascertained that 90 per
cent OF fatal accidents on the Alps have
happened to climbers who have dispensed
with the assistance OF professional guides.
Many do this from motives Of economy,
and many more from feeling Of ambition
and pride.

Against the hucksters many strong argu-
ments have been uttered. but the diatribes
were intended only for the dishonest deal
ers. It has been earnestly advocated that
the yearly license fee for hucksters In the
District be raised from $12 to 500. to 5000,
and even to $500. this means being pressed
as the surest to drive out the bad and leave
the good. AS it happens. Of course, such
a method would make the honest and hard
