THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[A, 



'OUST I, 1905. 



Ariluir Keevi; was sandwiched in just here; 'twas mighty well 

 delivered but the words we couldn't hear. Then the prizes 

 were awarded for golf, both gross and net; how the "minor 

 sportsmen" earned their gifts the boys are wondering yet. 

 Then came a rising vole of thanks, given with hearty cheers : 

 "To the members of the Country Club, kind hosts for many 

 years ! " 



THE Ball game. 

 The base ball game between the Manufacturers and Impor- 

 ters, resulting m a score of 22-11 in favor of the latter, was, 

 as reflected in the score, a brilliant five inning elTort. The 

 p'lyers, their positions, and the runs scored, were as follows;

 VVhitmore, Secretary Henry C. Pearson, Umpire Andrews, W. 

 M. Farwell, P. L. Rider, Harry Jones, K. S. Johnson, and 

 Charles H. Arnold. 



FROM THE REPORTER'S NOTES. 



Honorary Vice President L. D. Apsley, knocked out by 

 the hot weather, sent word at the last minute that he could 

 not attend. 



Assistant Secretary E. E. Wadbrook, who did so much to 

 make the outing a success, fled from Boston a few days before 

 the dinner to escape from hay fever, and so missed seeing the 

 fruition of his labors. 



The chef o{ the Country Club achieved a great success both 



in the creation and in the serving of the dinner. It was by far 

 the best in those particulars that the New England Rubber 

 Club has ever had. Ices were served in tiny flower pots, from 

 the middle of each of which sprung a miniature rubber plant of 

 the Ftctis ilastica sort. 



Music for the afternoon and evening was furnished by the 

 full military band of the Lynn Cadets and was excellent. 



All of the officers wore badges upon which the name of the 

 office held was printed in gold letters — that is, they wore them 

 until Benjamin Taft began to quietly lift them and decorate 

 Mr. Henry C. Morse with them. In the end he fairly glittered 

 with adornment, looking like a Russian admiral. 



One of the members of the Club, Dr. Joseph C. Stedman, is 

 the composer of a popular air known as the " Coast Artillery 

 March," which was played by the band during the dinner and 

 evoked much appreciative applause. 



William J. Kelley put in a most strenuous day, visiting his 

 old time customers in the forenoon, playing golf and base ball 

 in the afternoon, and eating and singing with great gusto in 

 the evening. 



Dr. Alberto Pirelli, of Milan, Italy, who hoped to be present, 

 wired from Niagara Falls his regrets at being unable to reach 

 Boston in time for the dinner. 



Before the ball game Fred T. Ryder and E. L. Phipps 

 knocked up flies for fifteen minutes to limber up the fielders. 

 Both showed that they were good ball players. 



H. E. Kiley who pitched for the " Importers" team, and who 

 did tine work, is one of the juniors in the Boston firm of Poel 

 & Arnold. That firm, by the way, was further represented by 

 C. H. Arnold, who is summering at Stoneham, Mass., and Wil- 

 liam J. Kelley, whose exploits are mentioned elsewhere. 



F. H. Jones and his dinner committee merit much praise for 

 the way in which the whole dinner was handled. The big din- 

 ing room, the seating, the decorations — indeed the whole was 

 as near perfect as possible. 



Treasurer Whitmore, untiring, modest, was as ever at infinite 

 pains to see that all the details that go so far toward success 

 be attended to, each in their order. A worker, not a talker, is 

 he, and his popularity is universal. 



President Flint, although, as he told the gathering, without 

 special gifts either as orator or a singer, lent by his presence 

 an atmosphere of geniality and unaffected enjoyment that made 

 things move very smoothly. 



W. D. Brackett, although no longer a manufacturer of rubber 

 footwear, is an enthusiastic member of the CI b, and always at- 

 tends the dinners and outings, a testimonial of genuine interest
