 Colonel Frank L. Locke, the prize being a miniature croquet 

 set. For the lowest gross score, Fred. C. Hood, 2 dozen For- 

 syth golf balls. For the lowest gross score, H. F. Wanning, a 

 bag of marbles. 



The prize for the smallest fish, secured by George H. For- 

 syth, was a pair of miniature Candee rubber boots. For the 

 largest fish, caught by G. Edwin Alden, a pair of Boston Rub- 

 ber Shoe Co.'s fishing boots. 



The distribution of the prizes, the remarks of the President, 

 the witty asides of the diners, and the brief speeches of accept- 

 ance on the part of the prize winners, furnished a deal of fun 

 and consumed a half hour very pleasantly. The Club then 

 passed a vote of thanks to the Misery Island Club for its cour- 

 tesy in inviting them to use their house and grounds, and for 

 their general and generous hospitality. The committee on 

 sportsand the din- 

 ner and entertain- 

 ment committees 

 were also compli- 

 mented in the 

 same manner.

Eugene H. Clapp's steam yacht, the Idle Hour, lay in the 

 offing all day and was visited by numbers of the rubber men, 

 who were charmed with its elegance and its evident fitness for 



pleasuring in New 

 England waters. 



= G e o r g e H . 

 Hood, who knows 

 every foot of the 

 North Shore, most 

 vividly described 

 the points of mter- 

 est as the Empress 

 steamed along the 

 coast. 



= The Forsyth 

 golf ball, donated 

 by the Boston 

 Belting Co., was 

 generally used in 

 the golf tourna- 

 ment. That it is 

 very lively was 

 proved by the long 

 drives, and that it 

 floats can be at- 

 tested by the 

 many who dove 

 into the pond op- 

 posite the first tee- 

 ing ground. 



=The likenesses of two of the members of the committe on 

 sports adorn this report. The third member of the committee, 

 Mr. F. C. Hood, does not appear as an illustration, but he did 

 yeoman's service on the committee nevertheless.
