the great interest taken in the sport through

Picnic at st. Michaels Church.
The grounds we're crowded from 10 o'clock
in the morning until so late in the evening
that Father Gallagher, after thanking the
| parties who had contributed to make the pic
mic so amusing, asked as favor that those
present would dispense, owing to the late
hour. The city band was in attendance, and
the amusing games INDUCED in were numer.
GUS. Tosay that the pic MIC was enjoyed
would be but a faint expression of the senti-
ments of those participating, who left the
grounds with the audible expressions that if
ever the members of ST. Michael's church
have pic mic again they would be sure to
attend. Great praise is due to Mrs Jas.
Trodden, Mrs. Jas. Jordan and Mrs.
Costello, assisted by Mrs. Devlin, who has
| been known to be ever ready to do good
work when necesessary.
