Season Yesterday Leaves for Glen
Island-A Day Filled with Pleasure
The Boat Sticks In she Mud.
Yesterday San Salvador council No. l,
Knights of Columbus, gave its eighth con-
secutive annual picnic to Glen Island.
Friendship lodge No. 10, U.O.G.F., and the
German Americans also joined with them.
and enjoyable as we'll as the largest of any
that have gone to that delightful little resort
this season. There were fully 1,aoO on board
the John b. Starin when she left her dock in
the morning, and as the boat left promptly q
large number were left behind, including
Brother Billy Geary, San Salvadors popular
financial secretary, who reached the dock just
in time to see the steamer slowly swinging
out. He was greeted with shouts and waving
of handkerchiefs from his numerous
friends. The day was superb to- an
excursion on the water, clear, hot, to be
sure, but that was easily. tempered by the
cool, stiff breeze from the southeast. Ex-
cellent music was furnished for dancing by
Mallon's orchestra and Professors Beach and
Burns gave their general satisfaction in
prompting. The crowd, though large, fill
ing as 1t did nearly every bit of available
room on the boat, was an extremely good
natured one, and not a single incident oc-
Cured to mar the dogs pleasures, except that
on the return trip lady tainted from the
extreme heat in the cabin. Arrived at the
island they were greeted as usual by
that same tune on the chimes
and a few minutes later the crowd was dis
persed, each going his or her way around the
well worn paths. There were also large
crowds on the island from New York. When
the hour $3.50 came for the departure home
all were on board again, including the small
boy who always is the last to put in an sp-
pearance, to the great worry of an anxious
mother. The incident of that kind which
happened yesterday was quite laughable.
just sfter the plank had been drawn
in young America, who had been
making the most of his opportunities at the
merry -go-round and kindred places, put in
his appearance and after some trouble safely
got on board. He was Immediately received
by the mother, whose maternal love was ex-
pressed by vigosous cuffs about the ears, &C.
companied by as vigorous a shower of exple-
tives, euch as "Why didn't you mind met"
etc. The boy for the rest of the trip acted
as though he fully realized what home would
be without a mother. The start home was
delayed fully half hour by the boat getting
aground owing to the extreme low tide. The
ing beyond the usual order and the crowd
was landed about o'clock and dispersed
