 too warm for some of the boys. About 

 115 members and friends were present, 

 and a most jolly and agreeable time was 

 had by everyone. The games were well 

 contested and every winner earned his 

 prize. Dinner was excellent and well 

 served, and everyone did credit to the 

 food.

 lows : 4
