ELDERS MEET FOR 32D TIME. 
Review Old Days Over Bowls of Chowder, 
Fair skies and cool breezes favy- 
ored the Manchester Elderlies Wed- 
nesday when they held their 32d an- 
nual gathering at the Tuck’s Point 
pienie grounds. The gathering is 
always ‘‘the’’ gathering of the year 
for the 100 or more ‘‘boys’’ who as- 
semble at these unique gatherings, 
for it is a reunion of Manchester’s 
young old men, or connections, who™ 
have attained the age of 50. At 
Wednesday’s outing there were 117, 
several more than last year. 
Of those present there were twelve 
whose ages aggregated 1034, which 
is an average of more than 86 years. 
The venerable librarian, Delucena 
L. Bingham was the Nestor of the 
gathering, his age heing 95 years. 
William Johnson caffe next, his age 
being 93. 
There have been 12 deaths in the 
association during the past year, as 
follows: George Kimball, Salem; 
Samuel Driver, Beverly; Asa Hoop- 
er, Boston; George Goodridge, Read- 
ing; Peter Chisholm, Gloucester ; 
Issacher Lefavour, Beverly; Henry 
S. Grew, Boston, and J. T. Stanley, 
William J. Pert, Robert Culbert, 
John W. Marshall and George H. 
Martin of Manchester. 
Long before the noon hour had 
arrived the boys could be seen wend- 
ing their way toward the Point, and 
every train brought one or more re- 
turning sons. Handshaking and con- 
gratulations were in order all 
around, for it is a time of renewing 
acquaintances, .and recalling the 
days of old. In some cases some of 
those present hadn’t seen each other 
for decades. 
Toward noon the smell of the 
chowder told the company the hour 
for the serving of the chowder was 
approaching, and promptly at 1 
o’clock President George F. Allen 
ealled the gathering to order. The 
chowder reigns supreme on these oc- 
casions, and it was none-the-less true 
in this case. Chef Frank Crombie 
and his assistant, John Babcock, 
know how to mix the ingredients of 
a good clam or fish chowder to per- 
fection, and the gathering was loud’ 
in the praise of their success on this 
oceasion. 
After the dinner President Allen 
called the meeting to order. The 
officers made their annual reports 
and the old board of officers were re- 
elected. Mr. Allen was chosen 
president for the 382d consecutive 
year. A vote of thanks was extend- 
117 ‘‘Boys’’ Present. 
ed to the young men who had waited 
on table. i 
Francis M. Stanwood of the 
Smith’s Point summer colony was in- 
troduced as the first speaker. Mr. 
Stanwood took occasion to take ex- 
ceptions: to certain statements in an 
instalment of Senator Platt’s auto- 
biography recently published in 
McClure’s Magazine which cast as- 
persions on the memory of James A. 
Garfield. The speaker went briefly 
over the accomplishments of the late 
President from his college days to 
taking his seat at the head of the na- 
tion, all of which he accomplished 
and was laid in his grave before he 
was 50 years of age. 
J. A. Torrey noticed two classes 
here today, the rich and the poor— 
but on this day the rich and the poor 
meet together and chowder is the 
diet of them atl. He read the fol- 
lowing original rhyme: 
When you come to view it, 
Ain’t it funny— 
Everything you buy with money 
Ties you to it! 
All the fun that’s in it 
Is not worth the freedom 
That you lost to win it, 
So you well may rue it. 
Property, property, property! 
All we buy is clog and hamper 
Poverty is liberty! 
‘Chuck it all and be a tramper.
