THE OpD FELLOWS PIcSIc-The weather
was so threatening Saturday morning that
many people thought the Odd Fellows
picnic to Natoma Grove would be post
poned, and many others, who went down
TO the depot, concluded at the last minute
not to go However, eighteen carloads left
the city, but were met by n light shower of
rain on their arrival al Folsom. but the rain
did not extend to the grove. For two or
three hours after the party arrived on the
picnic grounds the weather was cloudy, the
sun making occasional efforts to break
through the clouds, and little was done by
the excursionists in the way of amusement
except at the dancing platform The
ground was too damp To sit upon comfort
ably and lunch eating was not rs cheerful
as il might have been. The base ball
PLAYERS commenced operations directly after
their arrival, and after while some other
games were inaugurated, but the weather
grew from bad to worse, and about half
past / rain fell heavily, and continued
without intermissiOn for several hours.
The dancing platform, protected by can
vas awning, was for some time the resort of
most of those who had not taken shelter in
the cars, but it soon became flooded, the
canvas Welding in places under the heavy
weight of the water falling upon 1t, and
then the entire party went aboard the cars,
and remained there, all with wet feet and
more or less damp otherwise, until the
train started for home late in the after
noon. Many who were lightly at
tired, suffered somewhat during the
day, but all put rs good face
upon the matter rs possible, and some, i'll
an effort TO be Jolly, even went so far as to
eat ice cream. Those who went TO the pic
mic by horse power found the weather a
little soft when they returned, but, starting
early, got home ahead of the train.
