The members of the Reading Aquar- 

 ium Society recently journeyed to Price- 

 town, some fourteen miles away, and 



attacked a chicken dinner in full force. 

 The menu comprised chicken, chicken, 

 and still more chicken, and while the 

 members are all temperate, none refused 

 the famous Princetown mince pie. 



Enthusiastic good fellowship prevailed. 

 Each member wore a club button and 

 "Old Glory," and attention was divided 

 between singing patriotic songs, led by 

 Mr. T. R. W T ilson, and talking "fish." 

 The members present included John W. 

 Kershner, Ray C. Lash, Oscar A. 

 Becker, G. R. Wilson, W. Scott Slegel, 

 Theo H. Abelen, George S. Breneiser, 

 W. H. Himmershitz, I. S. Yeager, Mor- 

 ris F. Kissinger, W. A. Barber and the 

 writer. The dinner was such a success 

 that it was decided to hold another at the 

 same place next year. — S. O. MEEEERT, 

 Secretary.
