 More than 75 persons attended the annual outing of the Plainville Cham Der of Commerce which was held at Momauguin Saturday afternoon. Ex- cellent weather was with the party and the affair was pronounced one of the most successful held in years Automobile transportation was pro- vided for by Edwin H. Hills and there was plenty of room for those attending. The line of cars, about 20 in all, left the front of the com merce rooms at about 12:3O o'clock noon and headed for the shore PIa- cards were placed on the radiators of each car heralding the approach of the members of the chamber. The cars started out in good order but it seemed that when the town line of Plainville- e-Southington was passed, mutiny came on deck and it appeared that every man was for himself and the line broke off onto three or four different roads. Notwithstanding this the party arrived at the beach in more or less order and headed for the dining hall. F. l.. Benzon had Apparently arranged with the chef tt SWift's pavilion to have a first class dinner on the bill as everything for the empty stomach was placed before the hungry members. It was a fine dinner. The committee is to De congratulated on this.
 Although with heavy stomachs, sev- eral of the men joined in the sports which were held at the field The | aseball game between the married | md the single men proved a wonder. | The married men walked away with ! he game with the cooperation of
 the ump Dan" Collins. Twas many
 , raw deal went through but there vas little chance with Dan for an argument. The score ended, 10 to 3, \ in the fourth inning. If it had lasted 1 nine innings, murder would probably } oe in the eyes of the single fellows. Allan Bailey and Al Malmgren com l posed the battery for the married men while Charles Livingston and Judd Wadsworth was the battery for the single men.
 1 The slugging of Jay Warfield | vas the feature of the game and | several times Swift came out to see ! what was hitting the roof of his pa vilion, nearly a quarter of mile | way. Those in bathing ducked every | lime Warfeld came to the bat. Next | year they ought to use a tennis ! oall, it bounds easier and wouldn't hurt the fingers of John Lamb or l Tharley Diggle.
 l In the 100 yard dash, several dash | ing youths and married men took part. It ended with Allan Bailey talk ling first prize. Of course he had his baseball spikes on and that account led for the speed. Charles Livingston lwon second prize by shoelace length and they were awarded a razor strap land cuff links for their efforts. In the first heat, John Lamb, Albino lGnazzo, G. Buell. and Judd Wads- lworth came close to winning but they lstepped on their tongues and tripped linear the goal The time for Bailey
 was six seconds, with six instead of lsiXty seconds for a minute.
 | The fat mans race was a free for lall fight. Several weighing over 300 twere given a handicap and a slight head start. Painting, the racers waited for the shot to be fired by Starter ICharles Newton and after half an lhour's wait poised on all fours, New |ton announced that something was lwrong with the pistol. It wouldn't
 Jgo off. They were examining it when l-bang! the gun exploded and the
 race was on. Stanley S. Gwillim, who
 isn't fat, reached the tape, took a
 | f,,r ipo fI,o lothers coming after him. He was
 Ipresented with first prize for his Ifeetness and received an Eversharp pencil to jot down the time and place
 of his victory. He did the 50 yards in four seconds big question mark and said if he had been hungry he
 would have done it in two. He gen. } orally makes that time during the
 moon hour from TrumbulTs to his home on Hough street.
 The standing broad jump was won
 by Buzz Cook who was awarded a
 lpair of cuff links. He jumped eight
 feet, four inches.
 The swimming and rowing races
 lwere not held on account of the
 Thigh tide coming in and besides that
 lit was getting dark and the swimmers
 Iwere afraid to get lost in the waters
 on the way to Brazil. These were
 lcalled off and the party started for
 lgood old Plainville.
 The committees in charge of the en-
 Itire affair were given most hearty
 thanks by those attending and are Ito be commended for the excellent Iway the outing was managed.
