refreshment stand, while the orchestra
furnished melody in the dance pavilion,

all to dance, that the floor was covered
to a point Of discomfort, but in the
square dances the figures could be
manipulated with greater ease. A no
ticeable feature of the whole picnic was
the warm sociabiity that prevailed. 1t
seemed like one large, happy family.

The first race was rather amusing, and
was watched with the greatest interest

contestant blindfolded attempted TO
wheel a barrow distance OF
ninety yards to certain
tree marked with flag as a goal. The
idea was to sec how near the goal each
contestant could come. 1t was indeed
mirth-provOking to see how divergent
some OF the parties would become.
There were II contestants, and the
prize Nof barrel Of -four was won by
James Long, who made a bee-line and
struck the tree right amidships. The
