The Second Annual Shore Dinner of
the florwalk Yacht Dlub.

MEMBERS DEFY THE ELEMENTS.

In Spite of the Slum and tile Crippled Candl-
llon of the Trolley Line, a Party of Fatty
Parloolt of the Bake, Alter Which
Dame Deletions Bengt.

'The second annual shore dinner of
The Norwulk Yacht club was held last
night, despite circumstances that were
of a somewhat discouraging nature.
Because of tho atbrm and the accident
to the Norwalk Tramway company's
line, less than half the number expected
were present. while the bake was of
ample proportions to feed three times as
many. About forty members of the
club and their friends sat down to the
dinner, and did the best they could
toward consuming it.

The maker of the bake. Samuel Wur-
iug, wlio'wae ably assisted by George
VnnAlstync, one of the club's most
active members, timed it so that
everything came out perfect. When
the storm came up the fireball been
burning long enough to thoroughly heat
the stones. The ashes were quickly
brushed aside, and the food laid and
covered. The heavy canvas kept oil the
ruin, and at 9:30 o'clock the bake was
ready.

Meanwhile the telephone at the Bluff
was kept busy answering inquiries, and
as soon as it was learned that. the bake

or members know that there would be no
postponement on account of the weath-
er. It soon became apparent that the
trolley cuts would not be running, and
that it was not wise to depend on them,
so a currynll from Solmaus' stables was

 

"bbnrtered to convey the majority of the

party to the club house, while a dozen,
including “Towaer,” went down on
Senator Forris' launch “Eva I..." in
charge of Captain Percy E. Ferris. The
passage warm rough one, but the boat
rode the waves so lightly that she did
not ship a drop of water.

After the bake, which was pronounc-
ed perfect in every respect, had received
due consideration. a trio from the
Adelphiqui tte,vompom~d of Charles
Moore, William umillou and Richard
Taylor, snug several popular melodies
and were enthusiastically oneorcd.»
Messrs. Moore and Hamilton did special-
ties on the harmonica, and tlu-luttur
executed a series of dances, on original
one called, :‘dnnciug to notes," bringing
down the house.

The prizes for the moon recently held
by the club were awarded by Orlando
Allen. chairman of the regatta commit-
tee, to Vice-Commodore A. E. Chasmnr.
who received the cup offered by
Commodore Sanford, and to Dr. Allen.
who secured the cup offered by Mr
Chasmur. Both are of silver and very
handsome.

yesterday afternoon at Gregory's Point,
the occasion being the thirtieth annual
gathering of the Fat Men's association,
which was organized at the Point thirty
years ago. Upward of 2,500 spectators
gathered to ace the big follows gorge
themselves upon one of Landlord O’Sul-
livau’e famous Rhode Island clumbnkea
and settle their dinners by engaging in
school boy pranks. ~

Avoirdupoia begun to make itself seen
and felt at the Point shortly after 1
o'clock. President Patrick H. Murphy,
of Weldport. was the master of core-
monies, audho gave his fat and hungry
brethren a hearty welcome. Covers
were laid in the pavilion for one hun-
dred and eighty guests, and fully one
hundred and fifty were present.

Promptly at 2:80 o'clock the bake was
uncovered and President Murphy led
the way to the pavilion. He occupied
a monster chair at the head of the table.
and at his call of ”full in.” the large
corps of waiters came staggering under
the weight of crates of round clams,
oysters and long clams, which quickly
disappeared. Next came blueflsh,
ubcepslicad and base. Wibll sweet and
white potatoes, and side dishes of
pickles and ..tomutocs. The lobsters
that come next soon disappeared, and
several hundred chickens followed, the
feast ending with big juicy watermelous,
carted in by the wheel-burrow loud.

The first man at the table and the last
one so leave was C. E. Manson, a New
Yorker, who has bad the reputation
ever since the birth of the organizition.
of being the biggest eater. It is
authoritatively asserted that yesterday he
put away four hundred clams, and other
things in proportion. -

The heaviest man in the party was J.
