(BY A BROTHER ELK)


 The Elks gave bachelor dinner last night at their cosy quarters off West Main street, or rather friends of Thomas r. Bennett of 8 Cherry street, tendered him "a whale of a party" in which Elks and Non-ElkS participated. Every time an Elk marrics or talks of marriage, a party follows. The brotherhood of man still sticks among those certain brothers, who have in mind, always, what some past officers have forgotten, an Elks' legend or saying. "The faults of thy brother we write upon the sands"
 But everything was forgotten last night. Tom Bennett comes from the well known Bennett fam- fly of the city, fine people, and nearly everyone wanted to get in on the affair. The Mayor was there. and 50 were representatives from other families, whose name is most dear to those of use who were born and brought up and know just a little bit more about the town than do some of these we read go much about now and then in the newspapers.
 We looked about the hall and we noted some of the fellows we had seen in other days. and in other places. We Elks sec him every 50 often, inasmuch as he has been our official Tiler for ever 50 many years, but you sel- dom have chance to meet and greet him. We refer to John F. Griffin, Johnnie Griffin of roller polo fame of 3S years or 50 ago. There he was at one of the tables, yes double the size when he sport cd about the waxcd floor of the old auditorium, and shot a ball at the goal tend of the opposing forces; lame. yes, as we all are, as Time comes along and preys upon man in his declining years. Polo lovers of Q generation ago will never forget the likcablc and friendly Johnny Griffin.
 And for the time being, too, we thought we were in the old Rye lots of the South End. There in the northeast corner of the room sat big and muscular George Null ligan, known probably of late years better by reason of his prominence with the fight game, but to us well remembered for his first base play with the old Washington Hills on Sundays in the South end of the city. George was always that kind of a fellow "sct" well with the crowd, big in every way, and never shirklng any part of program in which he should take part.
 The Mattatuck drum corps was represented by the well known Jimmy Phelan. But Jimmy forgot his sIkin-tight brooches. and also failed to bring along his flute.
 You see. Tom Bennett is . plumbers galegmen. All of the plumbers of the city. and many of the state know him. For instance the head of the committee in charge was our own Jimmy Walk CT, of the Bureau of Engineering. What Q worker: what . person for detail: anything Jimmy has to do with must be just %. As . thorough committeeman. The Elks have no one like him. And while Jimmy was the man in charge, we observed Joe Bolger. of around

Orange street way. or was Up that way years ago. And 1t did Us good to sec Joe drop the familiar tool kit he has carried on shoulder for 50 many years to go down and help in the honor of the affair.
 At another table sat represen- tative of out east, Joe Cosgrove, who not 50 many years ago, was one of the star ball players of the state. Joe's business is that of the plumbing trade, and when he saw a near out easter was being feted, he just wanted to join Chris, Braun, ct al, in the time arranged for the well known sales man.
 In one happy lot of people, sat Jimmy Mccarthy. a great fellow of old Hodson days, and near him was his old and good friend. Jack Holian. These two form part of the entertainment committee of the order of Elks, noted for It's ability to do things, and make life pleasant for daily attendance at the club house.
 We cannot forget to tell you that Tom Mcfarland of New York rode up by rail to join his friends ofothcr days in the ccle- bration to Tom. brother of Jack Bennett, one of the great past exalted rulers of Waterbury lodge. Tom, in days gone by was 8 lively spirit abount the Elks uartcrs. Ills name was on nearly every commit tee; brother Bennett kept him on the fly. during his rcgin, along with the late quillcr Leahy, Shields and others. Bennett's en- tertainment committee was always active, and doing things. Every body gave Tom Q royal welcome; his work of other years helped greatly in the healthy condition of the order. Dr. John W. Fruin, another past, was also on hand. What a wit, and how clever; we who remember him in the chair will never forget him.
 Many of others were there, too, to do honor to person all of us think much of. and desire to sec successful in his future and mar ried life. Al Hummel, once q clever acrobat. and still good man on the bars. was the toast- master. He made good in a rather hard position.
