So many ladies bowled that the men 

 were unable to finish before the boat left, 

 and so the contest will be continued in 

 1909.

 Dancing, boating and other amusements 

 rounded out the happy day. The trip 

 home was good-naturedly hilarious. On 

 the lower deck some of the club's bul- 

 warks indulged in melody, Auld Lang 

 Syne predominating. ' ' All 's well that 



ends well," and no outing the New York 

 club has ever enjoyed is fuller of pleasant 

 memories. 



Various Notes* 



Alfred Zeller has been quite ill since 

 the growers' outing, also two of his 

 daughters. Mr. Zeller won the second 

 prize for bowling at that outing, a large 

 stein, you remember, but the illness had 

 no relation to the prize.
