Chickcring, the Boston photographer, as usual, was present as 

 official photographer, and the company present looked as 

 "pleasant" as requested, when the lens was uncapped. A half- 

 tone of the result is presented as an illustration to this veracious 

 narrative. 



.Vftcr the base-ball, there was a putting contest and a quoit 

 pitching tournament, both of which found numerous entrants. 

 W. L. Proctor, of the Enterprise Rubber Co., had supervision 

 of the putting, and the score is given here in full, to show how 

 close was the contest.

.The quoit pitching tournament, in which the winners were 



decided by elimination, resulted in favor of McGraw and 

 Benchley. 



So much for the sports, which interested the rubber men dur- 

 ing the entire afternoon. The dinner, which was to have been 

 served at 6 o'clock, was still untasted at 7, as it was found difficult 

 to tear people away from the putting and the quoit matches. 

 The Lynn Cadet Band did its full duty in rendering music, from 

 opera to ragtime, and although nothing stronger than pop and 

 ginger ale was dispensed, everybody was jolly and happy, but 

 also hungry, and when the line of march was taken to the hand- 

 some clu1)-liouse. which had been transformed to a dining hall, 

 all took their appetites with them. 



The tables formed an immense E. the little middle portion 

 taking care of the tail-enders who found all the other seats filled. 



However, there was room for every one, and food for every 

 aching void. Though there was no sea-shore within an ap- 

 preciable distance, tlierc were clams, fish and lobsters, all hot, 

 and swiftly absorbed. 



Between mouthfuls, the diners, musically bent, sang chorus 

 after chorus — most of them in tune. One song, however, did not 

 get beyond the first few lines. Some one — unaware of the 

 club's loss in May of a much esteemed member — started up 

 "Has .Vnybody Here Seen Kelly?" That tune has always been 

 a signal, at past dinners and outings, for a march down the hall 

 and a stately measure back by the two Kellys — Wm. J., of Poel 

 and Arnold, and Edward B., of the Mechanical Rubber Co. This 

 time, the music stopped almost as soon as it began, and William 

 Kelly spoke feelingly of the loss, by death, of Edward B., and 

 proposed a silent toast to the departed. Captain Appleton, in a 

 few well-chosen remarks, seconded this request, and Mr. Kelley's 

 memory was honored in a silent tribute. 



As is the invariable rule at these dinners, no set speeches were 

 made. President Hodgman awarded the prizes, as follows, with 

 short and appropriate remarks: 

 Golf. 



First Prize, Gold Pocket Knife to F. C. Hood. 

 Second Prize, Thermos Carafe to Wm. L. Wadleigh. 

 Tennis. 

 First Prize, Smoking Set to F. S. Dane. 

 Second Prize, Cocktail Shaker to C. H. Roper. 

 Putting Contest. 



First Prize, Cut Glass Vase to A. W. Stedman. 

 Second Prize, Tray and Coasters to F. C. Hood. 

 Quoits. 



First Prize, Cheese and Cracker Dish to E. L. McGrew. 

 Second Prize, Gold Cigar-Cutter to H. C. Benchley. 

 The supper ended at 8:45 and soon the automobiles were 

 speeding away for the city. Every car owner h;-d plenty of 

 friends to fill the extra seats, and the two cars provided by the 

 management made several trips to the railway station. 



During the day a meeting was held of the Executive Com- 

 mittee, at which President Hodgman presided. At that meeting, 

 resignations as officers were received from Secretary H. P. Fuller 

 and Assistant Secretary John P. Lyons. These were accepted, 

 and resolutions were passed appreciative of their services. In 

 accordance with a previous action of the management to employ 

 the services of a paid secretary, Mr. H. S. Vorhis was appointed 

 to that position with offices at 354 Fourth avenue, New York 

 City.
