REMARKS.
AS said above, the day was delight
fully suited to the occasion and was
Just the kind for picnic. The pro
gralnme was carried out admirably
and afforded continuous enjoyment
and amusement to all present. The
poetry and dialogues repeated rcAcc-
ted much credit upon both The teach
crs and the scholars of the Baptist
Sunday School. The singing WIS
also excellent. In short, everything
connected with the days proceedings
seemed designed for the purpose of
imrarting interest and pleasure to the
assembled crowd. There was nothing
there that was bcggarly. Young
ladies were out in abundance, she'd
ding a halo Of lovcliness over all by
the witchcry Of their graccs, the beauty
Of their smiles, the sweetness Of heir
silvery voices, intcrludcd and supple
mcntc'l by merry peas ofjoyous laugh
ter. The middle aged md those on
the winters side oflitc, were also there,
and watched with delighted hearts
the performances Of the young, i'll
whose interest the picnic was given.
They bcheld with evident satisfaction
the gay hopes which seemed TO light
up the faces of the young boys and
maidens wlrsc combined presence
made Andrews Fish Trap thing
Of complete beauty on Wednesday.
We regret that the want Of space
prevents nn extended account Of the
many pleasant incidents Of the day.
The crowning Of Miss o is
Nhit,nore, Queen. was aka interesting
ceremony. A.;'sicr Henry Livingston
was appointed Royal Captain and
guarded her with jealous care. Though
young, lie seemed to appreciate his
charge, a'rt we opine will make gal.
liant siege ui,nn the citadel OF some
lady's heart when lie becomes a man.
Dinner was announced about 9
o'clock, when Il table covered with
delicious ediblcs, vas lined from end
to end ny The merry happy crowd. a
blessing wns asked l.y the Rev. a. L.
Hartley ard soou all we're busy with
knife and fork. Tie committees We'd
with each other in their efforts to
make everybody feel at home, and to
seeing that no one vas neglected. The
dinner was bountiful, we'll dressed,
and well served.
La the aftorncou further sports were
INDUCED in, up to the distribution of
the prizes, OF which we have already
made mention. And thus closed a
picnic day that will long be rcmcm-
bcrcd by every ouc who was present.
We do not desire to make any invid
ious distinctions, but we cannot close
this account without special reference
to Mr.. Gcl.rcls, to whose untiring zeal
must he attributed the success Of
the amuscments gotten up for the
benefit Of the children. The pre-
sencc of our own magnificent brass
band also added largely to the EN-
joymcnts Of the day.
Long live the memories Of Wcdncs
day lust.
The Coart Heuse is getting prctticr
and prctticr.!
