TreasurerGeo F Downey Directors Hanauer J Barnett D S Murray T K Williams E S De Golyer Dr S H Pinkertbn and James McGregor Nor was there a drop of blood shed or a cross word exchanged during the two hours in which hostilities raged On the contrary it was entirely harmonious harmo-nious though of course the men of war discharged blank cartridges at each other as they tossed round upon the I billows of midocean and at times the fusillades of the festive cork came with I such tremendous detonations from the hatchway that i was feared some one I might wake with a swelled head this morning Long before the hour for the struggle to begin were the sumptuously rigged decks filled with their gallant crews who promenaded prome-naded from diner to saloon climbed about among the mizzen masts stud ed the horizon underfcthe folds of the flatterIng pennant and when the ballot bal-lot was opened five crafts began their struggle for the mastery There was no dispute as to the admiral of the fleet for above the main truck and from the mast floated the name of Richard Mackintosh Similar with Walter Almy for secretary while upon the name of George F Downey for treasurer the fifth unfurling the name of J J Daly that developed a vigorous and enthusiastic following although he went down beneath the heavy sea The rivalry for the viceadmiralty brought out three candiates two of whom were bound to perish in the smoke and flame of the blank torpedo Joe Gallighers stately form that rose from the hurricane cane deck of the successful craft was the only one to survive the bombardment

from this rather tropical engagement that any great patronage or distribution of spoils is involved Harry Duke will not be sent on an ambassadorial mission mis-sion to Dahoma nor will Major Siva be called upon to discharge mighty ministerial functions among the untutored untu-tored but pugnacious hordes of Hawaii Colonel Donnellan will not be presented with wit a plenipotential prize that will
