Newspaper Men Forget
Troubles While Egg Boil"
Guests at MOntrOSe


Newspaper writer's of the city we're
guests OF William Carter. Mayor Of
Montrose.7 at his bungalow in that
little surburb on Saturday evening.
The party or "Ege Boil as it was
called got a flying start az TSO
o'clock and from that time on, the
running was exceptionally fast, end
ing az the rate of so miles an hour In
an automobile at n rather early hour
for some Of those present
The feast was the best ever given
TO the writer's and no doubt was the
strangost ever given az Montroge. II
was a loud affair." yes, II could be
heard for a mile, when the Agony
Cuartotte" under the special diroc-
ton OF Arthur c. Davies struck up
several tunes in perfect harmony
with The spirit OF the occasion.
Clarence J. Pyle was toasimaster
at the banquet, and some toastmaster
he WAS Likewise. II was some spread
that was put before the serbs. While
called an Egg Boil tho eggs were
only a small part of the feast and
the table was simply covered with
choice delicacies which soon disap-
peared.
After the dinner strong arm
squad was formed. which az once put
the han on singing, and proceeded to
eject all singers The consequence
was that one half of the crowd was
constantly busy putting the other
half out Of the bungalow. One singer
went out numerous times and pro-
baby travelled a mile between the door
and the back porch. The cleyerness
with which the ejecting was accom-
pllshed was marvellous. William J..
McNey was the chief bouncer and so
veil did he perform his duties that
every thing in the house took a trip
out the back door, except the organ;
II was too big for the door
At times Mr.. Carter, the delightful
host. tried TO restore order and in
return for his courageous efforts was
promptly thrown of the premises. At
ten o'clock n prize turkey trot was
held which resulted with the trotters
being classed with the ,singers and
they too were promptly elected from
tho bungalow with little ceremony
During the evening several parcels
were received by private parcel post
The Colonel A. L. Ainscow. system
License No. IS delivered q number
Of necessities for the occasion for
which grateful thanks were extend
cd. The Louis Sines System No I
sent carnations and the system opart-
ed by Peter r. Cassidy, the irish
American Association and William G..
Cole all sent several consignmcnts
which were OF the most delightful
nature, adding greatly to the spirit
Of the occasion and the scribes, who
viii long remember them
The affair adjourned at a late hour
some OF the party taking an automo-
bile ride and others coming back IA
Wilmington by trolley. In Whining.
ton another automobile party was
/ formed which soon merged with tn,
other into one machine and a ioll,
/ little ride was taken TO some OF the
nearby towns. During the ride The
machine lost several parts which OF
ordinary occasions are considered
essential 20 the welfare and safety
Of all those concerned but luck was
With the scribes and the ride would
have continued indefinitely had not
tire blown out in Wilmington on
the fourth lap Of the race.
