THE REUNION,

Large Attendance Yesterday at the
Richmond Grove Picnic.
The reunion of the Foresters at Rich
mond Grove yesterday afternoon was
very successful and enjoyable affair, and
a large number of Foresters and others
assembled there.
The Foresters' Band furnished the
dance music, for which they have been
so often complimented within the past
three days, and the platform was kept in
constant use by the dancers.
The games were provocative of much
hearty laug hter, some ofthem having very
funny results. a number of boys took
part IN the contest where a coin in the
bottom of small, pan was deeply covered
with Hour and they were required to find
and take it out with their mouths.
The way the faces of those boys were
powdered was very suggestive object
lesson to ladies who similarly adorn their
faces.
There was also a race between fifteen
or twenty boys, who had to crawl
through open barrels placed near the
goal, on which men were seated to hold
them down.
one gentleman held his barrel down so
enthusiastically that it collapsed Just as a
boy was crawling through it, nearly
knocking the breath out of the youngster.
Many other races and games were partici-
pated in and very enjoyable afternoon
was spent.
The Foresters' race was won by Henry
Rubenstein; prize, So.

But as we lay this cornerstone with these

every portion of our loved land; shall erect
Its altars in every hamlet In America, and
Shall keep forever burning thereon the fire of

The Rev. A. C. Herrick pronounced the
benedictlOn and the ceremony was over.
The Foresters will have a fine hall,
original in design, and one which will be
credit TO the city. Siller Brothers, who
drew the designs Tor the building which
were accepted by the committee are also
the contractors who are buiIding it, and
the members of the order are very proud
OF their prospective building.
