of the Eastern manufacturers, and after a lunch at the Copley 

 Plaza, were taken in automobiles to various points of interest 

 on the North Shore, and to dinner at the Masconomo House at 

 Manchester, Massachusetts, returning late in the evening. 



Monday night a train of five sleepers and a buflfet car left 

 New York City with about SO rubber men from that city au'l 

 nearby manufacturing centers, which ran direct to Lowell :' 

 debarked the passengers at the land end of the famous vibrat 

 suspension bridge leading to the grounds. 



The Boston contingent, between 100 and 300 strong, and tlic 

 Lynn Cadet Band came in another special train to the'sanif 

 spot. Besides these who arrived by rail, there were automobiles 

 a-plenty. Massachusetts cars, of course, wfere in tlie majority,

but there were Mr. Darrach's and another car from Connecticut, 

 Mr. Milligan's from New Hampshire, Mr. Murray's from New 

 Jersey, Mr. Firestone's from Ohio, and Mr. Berkenstein's from 

 Illinois. 



The new-comers, or perhaps we should say, those who at- 

 tended for the first time, certainly had no cause for complaint at 

 their cordial reception. Old acquaintances or new, it was a 

 hearty welcome of good fellowship. No one stood on ceremony. 

 There was the usual sorting out into bunches of congenial mem- 

 bers, and those who did not care to enter into the strenuousness 



players. There were so many entering some of the contests 

 that it took the main part of the day to choose the winners by 

 the process of elimination. As a guess, there were probably 

 50 entrants in the quoit contest, which finally narrowed down 

 to two, !•". Feinburg securing the first prize, a fine chafing

The clock golf contest was to start at noon, ])ut as lunch 

 was announced at the same hour, the game was postponed until 

 after this feature of the program. Seated around tables under 

 the shadow of great trees, the members were served edibles and 

 drinkables to their heart's — or their stomach's— content Mean- 

 while the band played— in fact the band played pretty contin- 

 uously all day and evening, sometimes with a volunteer leader to 

 whom, in his good nature, Leader Lurvey temporarily surren- 

 dered his baton. 



The clock golf interested 37 contestants and as many spectators 

 as could be accommodated around the rim of the field. H. S. 

 Firestone started ofT. His score was 21. There were four 

 whose score was 23 and who were therefore pronounced the 

 "Skidoo Club." The contest finally narrowed down to P. E. 

 Young and R. L. Chipman, who tied at 18. Chipman said 

 Young was taking too many prizes, so he beat him 21 to 22, 

 and won a pair of beautiful silver mounted hair brushes.
