Dennis F. Butler - "Denny's Children" Exhibit - Inquirer 30 July 1911
"DENNY'S CHILDREN" EXHIBIT
Popular Policeman's Protege Have Athletic Carnival
With their mothers, elder sisters and brothers looking on, the members of the "Denny" Butler's Boys and Girls' Athletic Association gave their last indoor exhibition of the summer in the small gymnasium fitted up in the cellar of the bluecoat's home, 229 Lombard street. yesterday afternoon.
Boxing bouts between boys ranging in size from tots who could scarcely lift the eight-ounce glove to youth who handled themselves in true professional fashion, wrestling matches and gymnastic exhibitions were features of the entertainment, while the Honolulu Orchestra, composed of three-string musicians from far off Honolulu, played native selections.
Louis Goshing and Isaac Whitman wrestled cleverly for thirteen minutes, at the end of which the foreman secured a fall. The girls were interested spectators, and two of them, Annie and Minnie Gilbert, acted as seconds.
Preparations are being made by "Denny" Butler for an outing to Red Bank, N.J. on August 14, and for two porch parties on August 21 and August 27.
