CLAM BAKE.
Frech and Allen Entertain Their
Friends SumptuOusIY.

"a few days ago "a number of people
OF this and the adjoining county Of
Frederick received an invitation
from Messrs. George mi. Frech and
James III. Allen, contractors, who are
building the state road to- Mechanics
vile and also the one at WOodbine
to attend a Rhode Island clam bake.
Not any of those who received the
invitation, ID far IL heard from, de
clined. Never having lived in Rhode
Island, everyone, of course was wond-
ering what a Rhode Island Clam Bake
looked Oh tasted like. But the fact
that Messrs. Frech and Allen, two
of New Jerseys best gentlemen that
ever came to these parts, had invited
them to the bake, was enough, and
about seventy-five CHESTS assem-
bled yesterday afternoon in the
grove adjoining the residence of Mr..
Ivan sayers, at Smallwood, and en-
joyed one of the best feasts ever
served in this county.
Did you ever attend clam bake
No Well, we will endeavor to de-
scribe how the CLAIMS and other
things are baked. "a hole IL dug in
the ground from inches to one foot
in depth and it is then filed with
large stones packed around with
sand. Wood To the amount of one
half to three quarters Of q cord, IL
burned upon the stones, making them
red hot, and before they have a
chance to cool a coating OF rock weed
brought from Rhode Island il placed
on top OF the hot stones, after which
clans are dumped on heat, then
chicken, blue fish and reed birds and
sliced bacon followed by sweet corn in
husks, sweet and white potatoes, and
Holsters. 1t is then covered over with
a heavy coating of rock weed and
blankets to keep the heat in and after
one hour and fifteen minutes the
oven il uncovered and the goodies
served
Tables were spread in the shady
grove adjoining Mr. Sayers' residence
and at o'clock the feast began.
When the cigars were reached Guy
w. Steele, Esq, of Westminster,
mounted the hurricane deck" of Mr.
Harry GOsnell's automobile and an
nounced that inasmuch as Messrs.
Frech and Allen had so kindly in
vited those present to enjoy the feast
of reason and flow of soul he
moved that a vote OF thanks be ten
dered them. 1t was given with a
will and Mr.. Steele, acting as chair
man Of the meeting, introduced
Messrs- -. Princeton Buckley, Chas.
T.. Fink, Joseph ID. Brooks, w. J..
Grove, Charles o, Clemson, w. l..
Seabrook, Nelson Poe and Ivan Say
ers, all of whom made short ad-
dresses. On the way down from
Westminster the new state road
which is being built by Messrs
Frech and Allen was inspected and
everyone pronounced it to b. the best
one they had ever seen. TO say that
those present enjoyed themselves"
would be stating the situation too
mildly. They 1T had rafting
good time"
