The GRACE CHURCH Picnic. : The
Grace Church Sunday School picnic, on
the delightful grounds in front Of Colone
Hunts residence, on Beal street, will moi
fail to be a most happy affair, ifthe clouds
and rains do not interpose. The children

what it probably would have been, had
the skies been less threatening. In
every other respect the affair opened
brilliantly and with every promise Of
success. The hall, which is in the
Ayres Building, is fitted up with exquisite
taste, and when lighted up last evening
and thronged with the gay assemblage
present, the scene was one of commingled
beauty and delight. The stands we're
abundantly provided with fruit, creams
and confections, and presided over by
the ladies in the most graceful and ele-
CANT manner. The hall will be re-
opened tonight, and we hope we may be
able to speak at greater length of the
entertainment thereafter.
