ANNUAL PICNIC, 
Manchester “ Boys” hold 26th Outing at 
Tuck’s Point. 
“Boys will be boys,” goes the old 
saying, but it would not be far amiss 
to say in connection with the gather- 
ing of the Elder Brethren at Manches- 
ter, Thursday, ‘‘Old boys will be 
young boys.” 
The picnic of the elderlies, which 
was the 26th to be held by that unique 
organization, was one of the most suc- 
cessfulina good many ways. Though

there were only 96 present, against 
121 last year, the speeches were of 
an exceptionally fine order, and the 
chowder — that delicious chowder — 
was the “‘ best yet.” 
The day was excellent, the threaten- 
ing clouds choosing to shed their tears 
elsewhere than at Tuck’s Point. 
Long before noon the “boys”’ from 
out of town began to arrive. Toward 
noon most of the Brethern were on 
hand and were exchanging greetings, 
and renewing acquaintances. 
At one o’clock the gathering sat 
down and spent an hour in discussing 
the contents of steaming bowls of 
clam and fish chowder. The chowder 
has always been one of the features of 
the gatherings, and it was no less so 
Thursday. 
Of the 96 present at the picnic, 
thirteen were over 80 years old and 
three of these had arrived at the age 
of 89. Deacon A. E. Low was the 
oldest man present, he Jacking only 
two months of being 96. 
At the annual meeting held after 
the dinner, George Foster Allen, who 
has been president of the organization 
since its inception 26 years ago, was 
re-elected and the same executive 
committee was elected. A communi- 
cation from W. H. Tappan, for 25 
years secretary-treasurer, was read, in 
which he asked to be excused from 
serving another year. W. J. Johnson
