different ways, some walking, others drv-
ing, while Mr.. Pitcher made two trips in
his motor boat. A clambake and picnic
| supper were features of the occasion, fol-
lowed by one of ex-MayOr John R. Dunton's
famous shore bonfires. The Battery songs
were all sung, "stump" speeches made and
stories told. One of the features of

break up until quite late in the evening,
