back for fear the chowdcr would be a slow

was sure the flossiest ever.
All over him was about 5000 worth Of
yellow a nd black checked handsome doing,
direct from London. Amid cheers that
were second in volume only 10 those that
greeted the brave Leader Dooling himself
the leader Of De Ate came TO a stop with n
honk and an explosion Of dust and stepped
out gracefully upon the United States. OF
the pier at the foot of West Fortieth street
the gulls back pedalled with their tails
and posed admiringly in air as Florrie
drew a purple silk handkerchief from q
patch pocket and anguidly busted the
patent leather shoes and Their blond uppers
and fiecked here and there at the ina Renta
socks. Six feet ard then some above the
patent feathers reposed a stra W lid with a
sassy band. And there was a pale green
butterfly crayat and in his coat he wore a
red. red rose.
Downcsst and enyious, Alderman Reggie
Doull stole sbodrd the Sea Gull, and in his
eyes was q pained, defeated expression.
The Alderman was followed by Big Tim
wearing only about $3.50 worth of unob-
trusive harness of dark blue covered with
~taciturn stripes. Little Tim was there. too;
but both sizes of Tins were going To the
chowder to stay only a minute.
Little Tim and the big fellow ;" explained
Florrie, have u couple Of others to attend
to-day. They have TO hurry from here to
Sea cliff to another racket right away and
they have a hell Of a job on their hands"
But the Peter j. Doolings had Florrie
all day and they at least had Big and Little
Tim for a short time. Everywhere, too,
was Leader Peter himself, and there were
Senator Fitzgerald, T. W. Duane, all the
stan Of the County Clerk's-the same which

statesmen that would lap the Hall Of Fame
countless times.
And 80 II was no wonder that the good
snip Sea Gull listed SO badly when she
started down the North River to round the
Battery that there was a scramble to star
board. One of her paddle wheels wasn't
touching anything bat atmosphere. Even
after the scramble, however, the Sea Gull
listed still.
The voyagers were anxious to give the
big audience that they knew must he
watching them from various windows in
Manhattan the impression that the Sea
Gull was a yacht, and so they started in
TO devise ways and means to make the
good ship sail on the level. Somebody
got a bright idea after it was found that
the shifting OF the passengers hadn't.helped
much and then the Doolings started in TO
help shift the kegs Of beer to starboard.
About 100 kegs were rolled across the deck,
not to mention Big Tim ands correspond
ing weight of ice.
Don't jump at ~thetnotion that there were
only 100 kegs of beer for the whole chowder.
The 100 kegs were merely for the trip up in
the boat. Astern of the Sea Gull was the
boat that held the overflow. the equally
good ship Wyandotte- referred to by many
