A Pleasant Farewell.
A pleasant evening was enjoyed last night by about twelve of the friends of John Carne, who assembled at the home of Mrs. J. E. Snover, 703 Second Avenue, to bid him farewell. Mr. Carne is a constructing superintendent for The American Cement Company and has been living in this section for about six months now, while superintending the concrete work on the Freihofer bakery. Mr. Carne will return to Philadelphia, Penn., and will later sail to Ireland, where he will visit relatives. During his short stay in the section Mr. Carne has made many friends, who will miss him greatly.

A Mammoth Bakeshop […]
The new Freihofer bakery is being rushed to completion, and it will not be many weeks before the mammoth industry will be in full swing. All of the exterior construction work has been completed. A feature of the new plant will be the large windows which give an unobstructed view of the interior and will allow the curious to view the processes of manufacture from the outside. The big windows on the east side will also serve to let in the sunlight, and the bakery when completed can well earn the title of “the sunlight bakery.” The north building, where are four mammoth ovens, now only lacks the tiling.
Intricate Machinery.
The intricate machinery was being installed to-day. The complexity of the machinery in this model bakeshop will be a curiosity. It is stated that even the boxes for the shipment of the goods will be filled by machine and nailed in the same process. In the central bread-baking shop will be the mammoth continuous baking ovens. The unbaked pastry will be placed in one end of the ovens on rolling trays, and will come out on the other side, accurately timed, ready for shipment. Two Babcock & Wilcox boilers, standing twelve feet high and containing tubes fifteen feet in length, were being installed to-day.

Bread Beat Milk.
A baseball game between The Charles Freihofer Baking Company and The Borden Milk Company’s employees yesterday afternoon on the Sixteenth Street groundsresulted in a victory for the Freihofer team, 8-6. The game was well contested and was witnessed by a large crowd, a number of whom were employees of the plants. Parker for the Freihofers and Wiltsey for the Bordens played the best game.
