MOOSE ENJOY
 BIG OUTING AND BAKE

The members of Norwich lodge, No $50, Loyal Order of Moose. held their an- nual outing and bake at Happyland, Poquetanuck drawbridge. Sunday. Over 150 Moose and their friends attended the outing, which was one of the most sue cessful ever held by the lodge.
 The outing marked the opening of a financial campaign to raise funds for ex- tensive Improvements at the Moose home. The Moose made the trip in auto buses furnished by the lodge and left the city at $40 and 10.40 o'clock. A number of others made the trip in private machines.
 Athletic events, a. ball game, chowder at noon and bake at o'clock com prised the program for the day. The tug of war event was won by the married mems team, and the married men also L. Lasch pitched for the single men and Taftville man pitched for the married men.
 One of the feature events, the 15O yard dash between the dictators of the Nor wich and New London lodges, proved a disappointment, as the New London die tator failed to put in an appearance. It | Is said he got wind of the fact that Die tator George Goepfert of the Norwich | lodge very nearly broke the worlds rec ord during one of his final tryouts and ' declded that IL was useless to compete agains thim. The prize was awarded to Dictator Goepfert, the lodge secretary Frank B. Hazard, being delegated con- mittee of one to make the presentation In view of the fact that Dictator Goep- fert had devoted practically all of his spare time during the past two or three weeks training for the event, the commit tee in charge of the prizes decided that fl was only fair that the dictGtors earnest efforts should receive some recognition.
 Several interesting wrestling matche, were put on during the day by Leopold and Irwin, who were pretty evenly matched. Swahn's band furnished a con cert program which served greatly to en liven the days enjoyment.
 The outing and bake were given undel tn eapspices of the home improvement committee of the lodge, comprising Sey mour A. DeRusha, chairman; Frank E Hazard. lodge secretary John Burns treasurer; Charles Risley and Herman A Bruckner
 The return trip was made about 6.3 o'clock.
