to Long Island ON their third annual picnic
Saturday. Between 80 and 60 of them went

weather was rather unpropitious In the FORE
noon. During the showers the boys enjoyed
themselves in Ponce's hall and after the
weather had cleared there were several con.
tests on the base ball grounds for cash prizes
offered by the two papers. These contests
were quite spirited and the winners were
about evenly divided between tho PRESS and

each contest:

the 200 yards dash, and was also cond in
the 100 yards dash, but Ee.was debarred from
taking the prizes as he had not carried papers
long enough to entitle him to full standing.

little speech making.

day and took place in the afternoon on

they have in the two previous years lost the
game by mere scratch. The Argus players
were equally determined TO win. but they
didn't, quite. The contest was good natured
all through and was finally decided In favor
Of the PRESS boys by score of IA to 10.
