"Joe" Work (everybody knows him) actea' as liost. He is a 

 prominent memlier of the Point Shirley Club, and felt it incum- 



be;icli, eliciting mucli a|)pkuisc — and some envy — from the diners. 



I'here were no formalities — no speeches. Such are against the 

 custom of tile club ; and custom is law. Vice-President Jones, 

 however, proposed a toast to the absent president, Mr. George 

 B. Hodgman, to which all enthusiastically responded. Captain 

 Appleton, after long and persistent effort secured comparative 

 silence and a sliow of attention. Then a toast was proposed to 

 Henry C. Pearson, wliom he referred to as "the founder and 

 father of the cluli." Tlie next toast was to the presiding officer, 

 F. B. Jones, wliom he designated as "tlie next president."

 nounced and llie wimiers receiving tbi'in from Mr Junes. They

bent on himself that the dinner should be thoroughly and com- 

 pletely satisfactory to every guest — and it was. 



While the diners were busy the band played. Between courses 

 the diners sang, instigated thereto by the band. .\nd while the 

 diners dined and the band playe<l, two little maids, lured by the 

 music, tangoed, hesitated and Castle-walked with grace and pre- 

 cision up and down the space between the club house anci the 



an aihnoniliiry blast. Not long after lines were cast off and the 

 trip across the harbor in the cool of the evening was far from 

 the least enjoyable portion of the day's program. And when the 

 members arrived at the Boston dock and parted for their several 

 destinations it was with most hearty adieux and with a unani- 

 mous verdict that the fifteentli outing was the best in the his- 

 tory of the club.
