came in its proper place, every employe had a good time, and 

 there were no delays and no accidents. When the 2,000 em-

 barbecue just ready to be discussed. Then came a hotly con- 

 tested ball game, in which the Hodgman nine came off victorious. 

 Then in rapid succession followed events such as "Shoe race" 

 (boys) — Fifty-yard dash (girls) — Potato race (girls) — One-third 

 mile run (men'l — Egg and Spoon race (girls) — Hobble

 George B, Hodgman made a brief speech of welcome. He was 

 followed by Mayor Fiske of Mt. Vernon, and he in turn by the 

 editor of The India Rubber World. Then came the adjourn- 

 ment to the dancing pavilion, and some hours later the return to 

 Mt. Vernon and Tuckahoe, and the "Best Hodgman Outing" and 

 one worthy to commemorate 75 years of successful existence 

 came to an end.
