PGC-NIc OF THE IMPROVED ORDER OF RED Men,
This body held grand picnic yesterday at Rull-
mans Bellevue Gardens, West Baltimore street.
The affair similar in its enter ertainments to the
numerous reunions which have been held on the
same grounds during the summer; men, women and
children singing, dancing, somersettng flying
horses, wine and lager. Occasionally, there would
be pushing about among the dancers at the end of
a waltz-the cry of fight and a rush-a demonstra-
tion generally got up by the pick pockets but,
general thing, the programme was got through
with pretty peaceaby, only one or two arrests being
made, and they were of young 'uns, who had i'm
bibed too freely of the beverage which ''does not
intoxicate." There were three bands of music on
the ground, who were dispersed in different parts
of the enclosure, and kept very busy until late in
the evening in fulfilling the demands of the dancers
who had come in and paid their money. The crowd
in the afternoon numbered between two and three
thousand persons. About five o'clock little
rumpus occurred among some men and women at
of the dancing places which, for awhile, caused
some scattering among the more timid of the crowd,
and caused report to be circulated in the city
that big tight was going on at the Gardens
Upon this report policemen were sent from the
Southern and Middle stations to the place, but their
services were not particularly needed. squad of
officers from the Western district, with Lieut..
Zimmerman, were the ground during the day,
and their presence prevented anything serious
from occurring. The picnic was great success.
