CROGODILES GAVORT AT ANNUAL SESSION Do Justics to Big Feed at Lake Compounce For the first time since 1875 quite a few Crocodlles, who meet every last Thursday of August at Lake Com- pounce, were a bit timid of the weather yesterday and failed to set aslde the date, with the result that only about a hundred of the most enthusiastic sat down when the bell rang for dinner. Every bit of the victuals were done to the “Queen's taste,” and many of the boys who had attended the past 20 or 30 of 'em declared that Brother I. Edward Plerce did himself proud. When the dust of the eating had cleared, the members began looking around for the officers of the or- ganization; none were present, 8o Noble E. Plerce hopped up and got the crowd into gales of laughter by ‘‘uncorking” his famous pig story. Speaker Pierce recited the history of the organization, saying it was non- political. (Note for Mr. Plerce's in- formation, there has been many a political muss ironed out by the Crocodiles with their little paws) etc. || Charles L. Frisbie of New Britain was the only member who was pres- ent this year who attended the first dinner, back in 1875. Mr. Frisbie is a former commissioner of this city. Sheriff George Gabb was there, shaking hands with his friends and he made a speech in which he showed & remarkable knowledge of the Crocodiles 10 and 20 years back. Judge Willlam Malone of Bristol was slated to make a speech off hand, At least, that was the con- sensus of opinion just before a par- ticularly frisky group went up to eat. The judge didn’t want to speak and said something about ‘“he would be darned if he would.” He won, (his legal mind coming to the rescue.) Just as the watermelon was being galloped in, the Judge must have had an indignation meeting, called himself to order, and enter- tained the motion to adjourn with himself the entertainer. One of the Crocodiles said that only a legal mind could have thought up the disappear- ing act and succeeded according to the “Hoyle"” of the law books. After the eating the members draped themselves around the place and many went down to the benches to be “kissed” by the lake breezes while others tried the Green Dragon, or played skie ball while still others talked politics, etc, etc. New Books at the Institute ANTIQUES AND CURIOS IN OUR HOMES, by G.

Davis, Mas- ter of Charterhouse. e EIGHTEEN NINETIES, brook Jackson. “The parallel between this dis- disturbed and rebellious period of the '20's and the '90's, when frivolity, af- fectation, satire, and.rough realism | all protested against the moral sol- emnity of the previous age, has not escaped the more discriminating. Therefore a re-issue of this valuable book is welcome, and it will, we think, be read with more care and comprehension than at the date of its first issue, In 1913. For the general | reader it has an interest of vivid per-l sonalities and an interpretation of so- | clal and aesthetic history which mnkel it quite indispensable to a good Ili- brary.
