What you’re looking at

This appears to be a humorous dialogue between a young man and his mother on the eve of a New York picnic organized by "our association." The son promises to behave—dancing, sparring, and running the bar—but his assurances become increasingly dubious. He acknowledges fights will likely break out ("there will be rows"), admits the attendees will get drunk ("mugs of froth"), and finally confesses he might not come home at all, asking his mother to check hospital lists for his name. The satire mocks youthful male bravado and the gap between respectable intentions and raucous reality. The "picnic" is clearly a drinking and fighting expedition that the son tries to present decorously to his mother. It's social commentary on working or middle-class urban recreation in this era.
