BY THE PARK ASSOCIATION
A Day Devoted to Pleasure in Accord
aucc with Timc-HonOrcd Custom.

on the Bowling Alleys and at the
Supper Table.

Annually the directors of the Wheel
ing Park Association entertain al
tho beautiful park the working
forces OF the city newspapers. It is
an event which is always looked for
ward to with the liveliest anticipation
and yesterdays outing was no excep'
ton to this rule. Capt. Rolf, the super.
intendent, was host OF the occasion, and
he had able assistance in the persons Of
Mr.. Reymann, Mr.. F. Reister, Mr..
Henry Bieberson and otheEa, while
Capt. Weisgerber, superintendent o.
the Elm Grove road, gave the party
train service which could not be sur
passed.
A special motor, with a gaily deco
rated car, followed the regular two
o'clock train. Over score OF guests
were aboard, while others joined the
party at three o'clock.
The usual tour OF inspection was
made, and the park enthusiastically
admired. Among tho objects of inter-
est was young lawn, born this week,
and scarcely able to stand yet. The
herd OF deer Is the largest the associa-
ton ever had.
Several picnic parties were found in
possession. The North street school
had its delayed picnic, and Catholic
school aud a colored school we're all en-.
joying the day there, and the park had
facilities for all of them.
The objective point was, Of course,
the bowling alley. Here Prof. Schockey
and Mr.. John Frew captained two
sides, and Mr.. Frew's side won. Then
Mr.. Frew and Mr.. ]. Z. fancy were
pitted against each other as captains. II
Mr.. fancy could edit like he bowls,
what a paper the Register would be! He
was the star OF his side, which had
many good bowlers, and his men won
in spite OF the fact that on the other
side STRIKES" were not infrequently
made on mans fifth ball.
Then came a lunch for which all had
keen appetite. 1t was plain and sub
stantial, but the man who got up the
bill OF fare was an artist, and the way
the viands disappeared was worth go
ing miles to see. Among the delicacies
were sliced tomatoes almost as good and
quite as large as "home grown" andde-
licious handcdse made by Mrs. Reymann.
After the cigars game was rolled,
the contestants being limited to news
paper men, and W. W. Whitmyer and
will s. Faris being the captains. In
spite of the aid OF an expert accountant
keeping score, Mr. Faris's side lost by
lis points.
The crowd returned on a special mo.
tor at elk o'clock, all glad to have been
there.
These who participated in the days
enjoyment were Mr.. A. Reymaun, Mr..
Paul Reymann, Capt. A. Roll, Mr.. F.
Riester, Mr.. Henry Bieberson, Ex-
Sheriff W. Q. Handlan, Prof. II. Shockey,
