Bakersfield Concatenation a Huge Success

The San Joaquin Valley Hoo Hoo members can well be proud of the success of the Concatenation held at the Elks Club, Bakersfield, on the night of May 22nd,.

Vicegerent Snark L. L. Walker of Fresno, and about forty loyal members of his gang, together with a large number of visitors from other parts of the state, made up the party.

It was really a state affair, there being Cats there from San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Bakersfield, Fresno, Tulare and other points.

Arrangements were handled by Mr. Elmore W. King, of Bakersfield, assisted by Vicegerent Walker and E. H. Verbel, of Fresno.

A banquet was held at the Elks Club at 6 p. m., with Iferman L. Rosenberg, of the Hipolito Company, Los An- linson of MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco, and Joe Cuneo of White Brothers, San Francisco. Joe sang and Tommy did his stuff at the piano.

Hayward, Los Angeles, Arthur Bernhauer of Fresno, W. S. Scrim of Los Angeles, E. D. Tennant, Past Snark of the lJniverse, and the hosts of the evening, Chas.
