BARTENDERS EAT
Held FIfih Annual CIsmbake al
 Forrest Park Yesterday.

The ffth annual clambake of the bartenders local union was given yes terday at Forrest Park. Joseph Tracy expressed himself in this way about the occasion: The bartenders clambake will ne'er be forgot by those who were there as well as those who were not, and Martin Clarke. the president of the union worked of this ditty about the union button: The oval shaped button
 The bartenders wear
 Is the sign of good welcome And never care" MT Clarke sang this in capital letS- ters and when he got through James, IF. Coffey wrote this on the imperish. able scroll of fame: So laugh and be merry
 And when passing near Don't forget the blue button Means always good cheer" If there were rivalry in putting up" clambakes it might be the expla- nation for this great feast of yester- day for 1t was undoubtedly the best ever given.
 Tickets were limited to 150 but about fifty more were allowed in or they would break in for they were de- termined to partake of this great clambake. There were the usual sports and pastimes.
 Louis Shuster, George Johnson, Richard Hausdorf, Charles Meyer, Fred Schwentur and Fred Schmid re- sumed their game of pinochle which they suspended playing at the last bake of the mixologists. They will play the other section at the next bake. The chances yesterday were in favor of MT Sinister winning.
 There was Peter Rice the cop on deck and George Lambert the barber found silver watch when he was not finding other things. Jack McCar- thy the soda water man played solo on Tom Germans big fiddle during the only half hour he was neither eating nor dancing nor singing. And talking of dancing, if Murphy and Malley didn't break CT down for fair, they'll never dance again, that's all. McGrath and Snyder gave a fine duet entitled "Nellie's Got My Letters"
 To properly write about this clambake it would take as much time and space as one of Bryan's great lectures. Suffice it to say that there were lots of everything and everybody had most excellent time.
 The committee that managed the affair consisted of Henry Donovan, chairman M. J. Morton, John T. Me- Hale, Martin J. Clarke, William c. Doucette, D. c. Mulvaney, P. J. Me- Closkey. George Metz, John J. Hanra- han, George Bellman, M.' P. Burns, James F, Coffey and Thomas F. Ryan. It was about 3 o'clock when dinner was served and to the delight ful strains of Lallier's music the 200 guests sat down to this bill of fare.
