The menu included clam chowder, sliced tomatoes, relishes, lobster, boiled potatoes, prime ribs of roast beef and mushroom sauce, asparagus, corn, spring chicken a la Cornell, salad, lettuce, ice cream and coffee. The committee in charge showed good judgment in the selection of a "Rubberset" shaving brush as a souvenir of the occasion. This useful article, manufactured by the well-known Rubberset Company, was gratefully acknowledged. Lieutenant-Commander Issertell, U. S. N.. delivered himself of a fine patriotic address, in which he directed attention to the fact that the boys working in the trenches in our various encampments, particularly those in which the W. G. Cornell Company was interested, were as much "doing their bit" as the boys in France, and he quoted President Wilson as an authority for this statement. He told some interesting trench stories, and from his close companionship with many of his old friends now on our first line of battle he was well qualified so to do. He had in mind some interesting anecdotes of the Lafayette Escadrille, prominent in which are a number of his intimates, and told of one Lieutenant Doolittle, who despite the fact that he has been wounded nine times and been some eight months in the hospital is now back on the job. This particular young man, after a seance of four weeks in the hospital, was selected, with several others, to bombard the Krupp works in Essen, an extraordinarily hazardous stunt, but it was crowned with success. Lieutenant Issertel was in excellent form, and it was a matter of regret hat he was not permitted, because of the lateness of the hour, to interestingly discourse upon the achievements of his friends now at the front. His peroration was heartily greeted, particularly when he quoted the eminent patriot Samuel Webster, who said: "May my country be right; but right or wrong, my country."

We are indebted to Walter Peter, 459 Canal street, Manhattan, for some interesting information. He advises us that the Water Department has an electrical device for the locating of taps. Especially in the case of mains laid many years ago is this machine of value. Quite recently the department sent this little "finder" out on seven jobs Mr. Peter had to dig up and it saved considerable time and labor through its powers. One of the busy Harlem plumbing shops is that of J. R. Cummings Company, in 128 West 124th street. This business, established in 1859, is more than holding its own. Work for Wm. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Superintendent of Public Buildings Col. Frank H. Hines and Borough President Marks is under way, with the local jobbing department busy as can be.

The event was held at Celtic Park in conjunction with the twenty-second annual games of the Eccentric Firemen, L. U. No. 56, and provided interesting sport for some 5,000 enthusiastic spectators. He excelled his three rivals in the ten events composing the test of all-around ability and finished with a total of 4,562.23 points, with Jack Fritts, unattached, in second place with 4,260.642 points. W. F. Bartels, unattached, was third, with 4,095.642 points. Our worthy champion achieved victories in the 56-pound weight event and the running broad jump. In six other trials he was second, and these with a third and fourth placement gave him the greatest number of points. Boston Plumbers Go to Nantasket JANTASKET and the Hotel Napoli, NANT with its spacious well-kept grounds, were the Mecca for the Boston Master Plumbers' Association on Wednesday, August 16. It was to celebrate the day when the members of this famous organization, with their friends, discard all thoughts of plans and specifications and play to their hearts' content. The occasion was specially marked by the presence of three former national presidents with two of their secretaries. Daniel Finnery, David Craig and James Cassedy were the presidents, and Daniel Shannon and Andrew Curtin were the gentlemen who served as secretaries. there is no telling what the final score would have been. As it was, the Salesmen retired satisfied after the seventh inning with the records showing seven runs against their two. The assemblage then posed for their photograph, after which dinner was served. Napoli's is famout for its shore dinner, and they come by the indictment honestly. The lobster, chicken and soft clams are no where excelled. The cabaret furnished entertainment, the trio in their classical numbers being superb. They were indeed well received. After an interval to aid digestion the games officials called the contestants for the various field events. The following were the winners in the order named: Miss Katherine Connor, of Brookline, won the croquet contest and was awarded the set. Her sister, Miss Eleanor, won the race for girls and received a box of candy.
