Leaving behind them all cares of busi-
ness. 500 members of the Washington
Board of Trade yesterday invaded River
View. Nd, and setting aside all of the
dignity of their everyday life, became
boys once again, and thoroughly enjoyed
their nineteenth annual shad bake like
schoolboys out for a lark.
Despite the incessant rain of the night
before and the threatening skies of yes
terday morning, all records for attend
ance were shattered. The official count
of those who went on the outing was 597,
and the number of tickets subscribed was
624, leaving only q tickets unaccounted
for.
The first boatload, with the band play
ing Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie"
pulled out promptly at 10 o'clock. The
most of the crowd waited to go down
on the second boat, which left at 1:45
o'clock sharp. Many of those who wait
ed until the last minute before making
up their minds about going on the out
ing, reached the wharves two or three
minutes late, only to find that DR.. Glib
son was a man of his word and had
ordered the steamer st. Johns to pull out
exactly on the minute.
Every one on the boat came prepared
for the worst. Rain coats and umbrellas
were in evidence everywhere, for all
were determined not to let the rain inter
fere with the elaborate programme which
everybody knew had been arranged. They
were not disappointed. The fun started
the minute they got on the boat and die
not end until they left it on their return
last night, about $50 o'clock.
The big event of the day was the

without EN-
planked shad dinner. which was served
in the large dining pavilion. Chris
Gcckeler chairman of the dinner COM
mittee. kept his promise and served a
dinner fit for king. Everything con-
nected with the dinner went of with
clocklike precision. Chris was here and
there, first in the kitchens, then at the
fires. where the shad were baked on
large oak slabs. then in the dining
rooms seeing that all had their fill.
Carried on the Honors.
Every one was unanimous in declaring
that to Chris belonged the honors of the
day. He spared no pains or expense in
