COLUMBIA YACHT CLUB .- It was in March, 1896, that the Colum- bia Yacht Club came into existence. Though younger than the other similar organizations, it has enrolled among its members many of the older boat owners and yachtsmen of the vicinity.


Shortly after starting, club quarters were secured in the large wooden building on East Sixth Street, at the foot of P Street, formerly


403


HISTORY OF SOUTH BOSTON.


occupied by the Commonwealth Yacht Club, which had then become extinct. May 21, 1896, after the interior of the house had been arranged and everything was in readiness, there was a reception and house-warming, illuminations, band concert and a collation being feat- ures of the event.


In July, 1896, the club received its charter from the state. Its membership grew rapidly, and soon there were several yachts enrolled in the club. The Strandway caused this club the same trouble the others experienced, and notice was received from the Park Commis- sioners that it would have to move, owing to being within the lines of the boulevard.


In the fall of 1898 a meeting was held to consider the construc- tion of a new house, and Messrs. Joseph E. Doherty, A. E. Justice and A. S. Roberts were appointed trus- tees and empowered to build a new house on the location granted by the Park Commissioners. Necessary funds were quickly raised, and work on the new house was soon under way. Bonds were issued, which were at once taken by the members, and the new building was dedicated in September, 1899, at which time the public had an opportunity to in- spect it. It is a commodious struc- ture, with reception, smoking and


lounging rooms, besides a spacious and well arranged hall and extensive and well arranged lockers. Ver- andas on the water side and balconies on the other sides offer excellent places for observation.


COMMODORE JOSEPH E. DOHERTY, Columbia Yacht Club.


The membership now is quite large and constantly increasing, many fine boats being enrolled, and the members enjoy the winter evenings with bowling, whist and cribbage contests.


Commodore Joseph E. Doherty is one of the most enthusiastic yachtsmen in Boston and has spent much of his time and money for the advancement of the sport. He has been the owner of many fast boats notably the Early Dawn, one of the finest boats ever in Dorchester Bay. On the reorganization of the Columbia Yacht Club Mr. Doherty was among the foremost in the advocacy of the club and later, when the new clubhouse was proposed, took an important part, with Messrs. Justice and Roberts in the work. Edward J. Powers was the first commodore of the new club. In 1900 Mr. Doherty was elected commodore and has since occupied that office to the complete satisfac- tion of the members. During his regime many improvements have


404


HISTORY OF SOUTH BOSTON.


been made in the house and a new building has been erected, solely for additional lockers, 26 in number. It is located to the east of the main building.


PURITAN CANOE CLUB. - The only open water canoe club within a radius of many miles of Boston is the Puritan Canoe Club, that came into existence in 1887. It started with but nine members, and shortly after organizing quarters were secured on East Sixth Street, near O Street. It has gradually increased in membership, and soon quite a fleet of canoes of all descriptions were flying the club pennant.


As the construction of the Strandway shut off the water front, making the club's quarters useless, application was made for a site that would give it a location on the boulevard. This the Park Commis- sioners granted, and in May, 1899, the present handsome house was constructed. Though not as large as the yacht clubs, it is none the less comfortable and convenient for the purpose, the lower floor being used for the storage of canoes and for locker room. On the second floor is a comfortable hall. An excellent view of the bay and vicinity may be had from the balcony on the water side.


With such excellent quarters and a constantly growing member- ship, the club has a bright future. Frank R. Kimball is commodore.


SOUTH BOSTON CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION. - Like most of the dis- tricts about Boston, South Boston has an organization which really deserves a position by itself, for its objects commend it to all true citizens, and its efforts have ever been for the securing of the best possible for the district. This organization is the South Boston Citizens' Association.


It is an outgrowth of the City Point Improvement Association, which was cre- ated November 23, 1880, when several prominent residents of the district met and organized for the purpose of looking after the interests of the entire district.


The first meeting was held at the studio of Walter Smith at City Point. At JOHN H. MEANS, President So. Boston Citizens Association. the next meeting, November 29, by a vote of those present, the name City Point Improvement Association was adopted. The first officers were : Francis J. Baxter, president ; Henry A. Snow, vice-president ; William Morris, secretary; Charles O. Crane, treasurer; George H. Innes, James T. Tancred and Albert F. Lauten, executive committee.


Meetings were held monthly at City Point until 1893, when Gray's Upper Hall, the present meeting place, was secured and the first meet- ing held in the new quarters January 9 of that year. In February,


405


HISTORY OF SOUTH BOSTON.


1 893, the members voted to change the name to the South Boston Citi- zens' Association. The membership by this time had increased to 89. The growth has been steady since then, and today there are 402 mem- bers on the list, including many of the most prominent residents of the district.


In its twenty-one years of existence there have been eight presi- dents : Francis J. Baxter, 1880-1881; Francis C. Hersey, 1882; Hon. Charles J. Noyes, 1883; the late Vincent La Forme, 1884-1889; Albert F. Lauten, 1890-1891; Robert F. Means, 1892-1894; Hon. John B. Martin, 1895-1900; John H. Means, 1901-1902.


A feature of the organization is the annual banquet held in observ- ation of Evacuation Day, the anniversary of March 17, 1776, the day on which the British troops left Boston as the result of Gen. Washington and his army building redoubts on Dorchester Heights. Though the association observed the event for several years, it was only in 1901 that it succeeded in getting the city to co-operate. As a result of this, the day was celebrated in a memorable manner. Some of the school children of Boston were presented with a bronze fac-simile of the Washington medal. Buildings throughout the district were decorated, there were band concerts, fireworks and a military parade. The association held its annual banquet in Gray's Hail in the evening, the orator of the occasion being the venerable United States Senator, George Frisbie Hoar.


President John H. Means was born in South Boston in 1844, being a descendant of Robert Means, a Scotch-Irish imigrant leader of 1718, and also of Jeremy Houchin, an early selectman of Boston. His an- cestry runs through the families of Rev. James Allen of the First Church, of Francis Wells who came here in 1723 in his ship " Ye Hamp- stead Galley," and whose daughter Elizabeth married Samuel Adams. Capt. Edward Rumney, who helped fortify Dorchester Heights, and whose great grandmother was a sister of Gov. William Eustis and great granddaughter of Nathaniel Hancock, grandfather of John Han- cock, are also anscestors.


Mr. Means received his education in the Hawes School after which he entered business. In 1871 he married Miss Louise A. Mack. They have two children, Louise E., and John H. Jr. He is an active republi- can and did successful work for Hon. John L. Bates, in 1899, in his con- test for Lieutenant-Governor and was a member of the Republican State Committee in 1900, 1901-02. He is a 32° Mason, having been a member for thirty years of St. Paul's Lodge, St. Matthew's R. A. Chapter, De Molay Commandery K. T. and Massachusetts Consistory. He is also a member of the Hawes School Boys' Association and one of the six survivors of the Mattapan Literary Association whose pictures are in the South Boston Branch Library in recognition of the gift of books to start this branch.


For many years interested in the manufacture of paint, Mr. Means

is of the firm of Means and Thacher, paint manufacturers, 6 and 8 Custom House Street, Boston.


CITY POINT CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. - One of the foremost of young men's organizations in the district is the City Point Catholic Association located on East Fourth Street, near L Street. It was or- ganized April 21, 1890 by Rev. P. M. O'Connor, then connected with the Gate of Heaven Church, but now a curate at Revere. During its first year the association was incorporated and two years later, when Hon. Henry F. Naphen was president, the present commodious and well appointed clubhouse, 744 East Fourth Street was leased and fitted up. The association has steadily grown in membership and influence, its young men including the leading Catholic young men of the district,

and its minstrel entertainments, concerts, dramatic performances and parties have been leading social events, and its private whist parties, ladies' nights and lectures have been largely attended and productive of much good. The association was chartered May 21, 1890.


President Joseph A. Lyons is the present head of the City Point Catholic Association. He is one of the youngest presidents in the his- tory of the association, is an enthusiastic worker in the interests of the society and during his administration it has made rapid strides. He has been a member for many years, always zealous in whatever work he had to do, and it was particularly pleasing when, in 1900, he was chosen president. He is also prominent in numerous other societies, notably the Robert Fulton Council of the Knights of Columbus of which he has been Grand Knight and a member of the Post Office Clerks' Association.


SOUTH BOSTON REPUBLICAN CLUB. - Though only a year old, the South Boston Republican Club is an active organization, having

Thomas W. Healey is president.


TREMONT CYCLE CLUB. - In 1890 several young men of South Boston met and organized the Tremont Cycle Club, which is now the oldest club of its kind in the district.

Its present headquarters is corner of Emerson and K Streets.


ST. AUGUSTINE'S LYCEUM. - One of the oldest organizations in the district is St. Augustine's Lyceum, organized August 16, 1876 and which received its charter from the state April 11, 1882. It was reorganized in December, 1894, and has since had a successful exist- ence. It is the oldest association of its kind in the state and has earned a deserved and excellent reputation through its dra- matic and operatic productions as well as for the objects for which it was formed, the general advancement of its young men. Headquarters are corner of Dor- chester and National Streets and Mr. Michael J. Carroll is the present presi- dent.


MICHAEL J CARROLL, President St Augustine's Lyceum.

Meeting with success from the start and the membership increas- ing, a handsome clubhouse was erected on East Eighth Street, foot of Covington Street, and dedicated April 17, 18 and 19, 1892 with a three nights' celebration, concluding with a grand ball.
