PUBLIC School PIoSIo.-The regu-
lar annual public school picnic will be
given at Beans Point on next Saturday.
An interesting program Of sports
has been arranged, including two base
ball matches, one between the Uniyer-
sity boys aud the public school boys,
and the other between the Yesler Col
lege boys and the second nine from the
public school. The winning mines will
receive handsome prizes. A barge in
tow of a tug will leave this city at nine
o'clock, and the Josephine will make
regular trips between the city and
Beams Point all day. The funds re-
naming after defraying all expenses
will be applied to the balance still due
on the piano and library. The biggest
picnic of the season, in 1893, was tn It
given by the public schools, and from
the present outlook the one 10 take place
next Saturday will eclipse all former
efforts in that direction in Seattle.
