And perhaps jou think it wasn't "some time." Bathing, races and baseball helped In the enjoyment, and you ought to have wit- nessed the fat men's race between Salvall, Kelly, "Ernie" Cook and Bill Forbes. The rnce was won by Mr. Cook, but Mr. Snlvnll was leading all the way and looked like a sure winner until Kay Thompson flagged him with a bottle of blue ribbon. The day wound up with a big "Mulligan," and what goes with It and when tbe party drove Into Brie, a little after 11 p. m , every- body voted It the best time they had ever had. George Atterbury's Band has been rein- forced by the addition of Henry Blank, trom- bone, and Miguel Jiirado, cornet, now making our big band a twenty piece band.
