went on the Moonlight Sail last Thurs

Congregational Church, Rev. S. L.
Laviscount, pastor, and St. Bartholo-
news Church, Father Kenneth Hughes,
rector. The beautiful S. S. Steel Pier
equipped with every sort of amusement
device including an orchestra for dane
ing and beautiful refreshment salon,
held the merriest and most orderly
crowd, the boat officials said, that had
ever gone on the famous sail IL miles
down the harbor The two Reverands
were most happy in the success of the
enterprise and partially consented to
ask the committee to plan a similar out
ing during August.
Count Basic and his vocalist, James
Rushing, were present and contributed
a number to the great delight of the big
crowd. From Fort Devens came 14O
soldier boys conveyed back and forth
in four buses. They all said they had
a grand time and would be glad to come
to Boston whenever they were invited.
These men were glad to pay the admis-
