taking the masses out. Fully 1000
We're congregated at any time upon
the grounds, and fully that many
more were scattered in all portions
OF the park. Those who did not
care for the more exciting events of
the picnic took refuge in the shelter
of the many shade trees and enjoyed
small family gatherings Minneapolis
sent large delegation for the day.
The entertainments provided for the
affair were manifold. Dancing was
enjoyed on the large platform to the
strains of Pepin's orchestra. Re-
freshment stands had busy day OF
it, and everybody seemed happy.
The athletic sports and contests,
however, proved by far the greater
attraction. Many We're splendid ex-
hibitions of skill and prowess, and
the ladies took a very lively interest
in them. In fact, in the several
ladies' events they showed as much
eagerneSS to enter and win as did
the members of the sterner sex.
Several of the ladies' races We're
very close contests, and were very
prettily run. The sack race, the
fat mems and the fat women's race,
of course, furnished no end of fun
for the spectators. The list of events
was very large one, and had not
been concluded when supper time
arrived. So the judges had to hustle
around to get lights to finish the
programme.
At convenient times the Hibernian
band furnished concert music, which
was much appreciated by those
present. The Daughters of Erin So
cieties were also out in full force,
stands, doing a remunerative bust
ness. Everybody seemed to have a
royal good time, and this years
picnic was in every point of view as
successful as those which have pre-
coded it in other years, and which
gave the A. o. H. a reputation as
successful entertainers.
