Williamstown gulf furnished a setting
for the final roundup of the Association
of American Cemetery Superintendents
as the members completed the business
of their 3lst annual convention and tar
ried for few hours before setting out
for their home cities. About rs automo-
biles were required to carry the party to
the gulf, the trip being made through
| Websterville, Graniteville and a hill road
TO Williamstown. For once the sun
smiled on the endeavors of the entertain
ment committee, and as the visitors
toured over Milestone hill they saw TO
better advantage than on Thursday the
numerous quarry views.
Once in the gulf, they found tent
pitched in sequestered corner, and
there, under the big canvas top they en-
ioyed bountiful luncheon. At the rear
an oven had been erected, and a corps
of Coney islanders dispensed hot ta-
males. The dog foundry proved to be
one of the most popular resorts on the
grounds, and after the dinner hour it
held the center of attention until the
games were gotten under way. The
Barre Pipe and Drum band, which accom-
panied the party, gave further evidence
of the skill displayed on the previous
evening by discoursing music almost con-
tinuously. The kilties added color to the |
scene, and the skirl of their pipes had a
re-echo as it vibrated against the two
sides of the wooded cut.
The first athletic encounter Of the
afternoon was staged between kid"
KEEPER of Pittsburg and Young Yuden of
Pittsburg. In the squared circle the pu-
gilists fought rather valantly, If some
times on the burlesque order. until the
Philadelphians seconds stepped in and
awarded the belt to his adversary from
Smoketown. The next display OF fisti-
,uffs had for its principals Fayette 7

non and Frank NJ. Cory of Victim ire 4
Morse. The latter was listed at the ring Il
'ide at Battling Cory, and the commits
