penses at preoen. o. anticipated, there
will be no annual dues or assessments
until so ordeied at any subsequent an
nual meeting
Iii accordance wi5I the provisions
OF the bylaws the executive commit
tee of the club met recently in Boston
and has made plans for an outing at
Point of Pines. Mass, which promises
to attract not alone large number of
members OF the club but thousands
OF others, whose curiosity has been
aroused by the announcement Of the
unique event.
This is to take place on Labor Day,
the first Monday in September. The
fatmen will take s3a trip on the
Sunday previous, attend the banquet
to be given at a Boston hotel the same
night and then retire early in readi-
ness for the hard romping of Mon
day.
One of the difficulties in the way
of taking the trip to Point of Pines
was encountered when President w.
ID. Quimby of Boston, who weighs into
the club at sos, attempted to hire a
boat to take the party to the sea shore
resort
When he informed the boat officials
as to the weight Lr his cluA he was
advised to hire an ocean liner. as one
of the ordinary sea shore boats would
not be equal to the emergency. Fin
ally he found captain who was will
ing to take a chance and that diff
Guilty was over
Then, when he started to hire
place at Point of Pines for the club
to have dinner, it was found that the
tables and chairs and in fact none of
the furniture was put together for the
heavy weight class. When the pres
ideDt of the club agreed to make good
a. breakage, however the proprietor
% the leading ish dinner house
agreed to accept the club members as
guests.
1t was the same all the way along
but DR.. Quimby. who hasn't been able
to wear ready made clothes since he
was child or to utilize many things
which the ordinary man utilities, knew
Just how to overcome these Difficult
ties on the part of his club and all
went smoothly.
Then the next thing for the club to
arrange was as to the list of sports
for Labor Day.
At this meeting. which was held
very recently, it was announced that
there would be any quantity of eat
ables at the field day banquet table,
and rumors have reached the head
quarters of the club that already some
of the fat men have begun to fast
that they might do Justice to the
viands
1t was determined to have 25 and
so yard dashes for men weighing
over 800 pounds and the same for
those over 200. There will be three
legged races, broad jumps, high jumps,
jump, tug of war and
a base ball game.
Responses to the notice of the COM
ing field day from New York, Chicago
and other places equally as distant,
q in,
vitation to be present at the fatmen's
outing, and it is promised that the
occasion will be well attended
1t is looked forward to with a deal
of the organization, for people who
of interest, not alone by the members
desire to witness the cents, perhaps
the most unique to be held in New
England during the year, are planning
to be also present.
The club includes in its membership
