miliar Faces Seen in the Throng Of

Fun was trumps at the p. H. O'Neill
Associations picnic at Caledonlan Park
last evening, and that big "best bower"
called politics was apparently eliminated
from the pack. It was merry crowd
that thronged the grove and dance pa
vilion. There was quite a gathering of
local politicians; but there was little po-
litical talk, and that only around the
edges.
p. H. O'Neill, the standard bearer,
strolled leisurely in and out of the pa
yilion in most becoming white felt hat
with and Alpine kink DIR. Dimond
viewed the scene through pair of rim
less eye glasses with evident satisfaction.

peecinct, seated by the side of Alderman
Prigge on the end of table in the Grove,
looked on from a distance through a cloud
Of Havana smoke In which he enve1oped
himself

floor as graceful as a French dancing
master. He was with Mrs. Moran Ex-
Fire Commissioner Pete Madden and

the grand march with Miss Mamie Luby.
