elect Searles being the only sporting man pres- 

 ent, he was made judge. At the command of 

 starter Davies, to ''mount and go," oflF they 

 started. It was certainly a laughable sight, 

 sometimes both horse and rider were down, but 

 neither seemed to worry, the race was all too 

 quickly over and Messrs C. H. Kalkenbrenner 

 and IT. W. Ihmels were declared the winners. 

 For prizes they received a travelling set donated 

 by Mr. Thos. F. Main. Then followed the po- 

 tato race, and it is certain the Long Island farm- 

 ers might have learned many new points in re- 

 gard to picking up potatoes had they been pres- 

 ent. The race was won by Mr. Kalkenbrenner 

 who received a box of cigars donated by Presi- 

 dent-elect A. C. Searles. 



The shooting match was won by Mr. O. Grube, 

 prize being a box of cigars donated by Mr. Thos. 

 M. Davies. The most excitinjj of all the games 

 was the bowling tournament, and of course no 

 professionals being present, all stood an equal 

 chance to win. There were fifty-six entries; 

 early in the game R. Gies took the lead with a 

 score of twenty-five, and kept the same until 

 near the end, when Mr. Buss of Brooklyn bowled 

 twenty-seven. This aroused new interest and 

 when President Stover soon after also made 

 twenty- seven, and thereby tied Mr. Buss, the 

 cheering was terrific and intense excitement 

 prevailed, but in the "roUofi"" Mr. Buss won by 

 one pin. The prize he received was a silk um- 

 brella donated by Mr. Max Breitenbach. The 

 lady's prize for bowling was won by Miss Dode, 

 with Miss Tish and Miss Speckmann in close 

 pursuit. Miss Dode received a bottle of Extract 

 donated by Mr. Solon Palmer. The dinner 

 was all that could be desired, and one of the 

 very best the Association ever sat down to. 

 Mr. Witzel richly deserves the reputation he has 

 won for the good quality of his dinners. When 

 cofiFee had been served. President Stover, who 

 presided, arose, and in a few well chosen words 

 welcomed all who had braved the storm, and 

 helped to make the Outing of '96 the most suc- 

 cessful of recent years. He stated that as there 

 were more games and dancing to follow, the 

 speeches would be few and brief. The other 

 speakers were President-elect A. C. Searles, 

 Alfred H. Mason, Secretary of the College and 

 John PfeiflFer of the class of '81, who was intro- 

 duced as an old member, also as a representa- 

 tive of the Kings County Pharmaceutical Asso- 

 ciation. At 10.30 all hands started for home well 

 pleased with the day's pleasure, and incident- 

 ally the Alumni again added another wreath to 

 its laurels of success for which we are indebted 



to the excellent arrangements made by the 

 Outing Committee.
