Alumni 0uting. 



" In springtime, young men's fancy turns lightly to that of love." Likewise the ad- 

 vent of May turns the fancies of all good alumni members to the annual outing, an 

 event which we so dearly love. Breathes there a member of our Association who can- 

 not recall pleasant reminiscences of our past glorious outings ? The personal recol- 

 lections of the writer would more than fill an issue of the Journal. But let's get 

 down to the future and see what we have in store. 



As you all doubtless know, our outing will again be held at Donnelly's Pleasure 

 Park, at College Point, on Wednesday, June 13th ; the selection was made because of 

 accessibility and unequaled facilities, not to mention many other little features, so well 

 known to those who attended last year. Through the endeavors of our energetic 

 committeeman, Geo. E. Schweinfurth, we, at this writing, hope to again elicit the co- 

 operation of the N. Y. Retail Druggists, Bowling League in th^t portion of our pro- 

 gramme. Their valuable services last year serve to make us look upon them as neces- 

 sary requisites to success. We are particularly gratified in announcing that Fred 

 Borggreve has graciously accepted his appointment on the committee. Dancing will 

 come under his ban, hence surprises may be looked for. Sergeant Davies who is 

 master of games, will modify his portion somewhat, he will cater to the ladies par- 

 ticularly. As for shooting, Chas. Grube, of the famous Grube Bros, won the " toss 

 of the coin" and will therefore be sufficiently handicapped to " give us a chance.'' 

 Arrangements have again been made with the Ferry Company and trolley lines to rim 

 all flight, so bring your night keys. A winner is promised in the 3 D's event. I refer 

 to Donnellys Dollar Dinner, which will be served at 6 p. m. As in previous years 

 the committee desire to again ask for an early start, the i p. m. boat from Egg street 

 being the most desirable, it affording us ample opportunity to get the athletic events 

 under way by 2 p. m. which would much better the chances of our base ball team 

 defeating Charity Lodge. Committee : Nelson S. Kirk, Geo. E. Schweinfurth, Fred 

 Borggreve, Thos. M. Davies, Chas. O. Grube. 



No doubt we are all looking forward with pleasure to the thirteenth day of June, for 

 that is to be a bannfer day in the annals of the Association. 



This year's outing will be held at the same place as it was last year and about the 

 same arrangements will prevail. 



The R. D. B. A. have again expressed their willingness to assist in the bowling and 

 Charity Lodge announces that it will again win the base ball game. 



There is a rumor afloat about a trophy which is to be won or lost, but nothing defi- 

 nite is known. 



However, one thing is certain, this is to be the best outing there ever was.
