PIONEERS PICNIC.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph of Aug. 15
contained an account OF picnic at
Long Lake, given by the Pioneer society
OF kalamazoo. Hon. Frank Little, well
known in st. Johnsbury, took a promi-
nent part reading valuable paper on
the Indian, and it appears that everyone
had good time, The Telegraph wrote
it up in the following flowing and easy
style, OF which we give specimen
"Pioneer picnic day dawned bright
and clear and hotter than a mixture of
mustard and cayenne pepper in equal
parts. People throughout the county
ate breakfast anywhere between mid
night and six oclock in order to get to
the picnic before it commenced. Every
road leading to Long lake was thronged
with vehicles and pedestrians, all headed
towards the lake. The pioneers went on
four wheels, the young people many of
them on two wheels and plenty of boys
aloot, The grounds were very dusty
but the lake was wet and everybody was
happy. Many of the older persons wan
dered beneath the trees and rehearsed
the old days, while the young people
swung in hammocks and planned for the
future, The trains commenced running
on the G. r. & |. at O'Clock, and for the
first train 430 tickets were sold and
more than 800 for the 9 O'clock

NOTES FROM RYE BEACH.

Owing to mistaken ideas in regard to
having help associate with guests, the
proprietor of the Farragut house refused
for some time to allow Patey, gradu-
ate from the Academy in the class of '94,
and Dartmouth's boy wonder in the
pitchers box, to play on the Farragut
House base ball team. After repeated
petitions from prominent guests in the
house, the proprietor consented, and
since then Pa;ey has distinguished him
self among base ball players from Har-
ward and Yale. With Miller, substitute
catcher on Yale Varsity, behind the bat,
Patey in the box, and good in-feld, the
Farraguts have been able to put up
much stronger game than the average
at summer resort, as shown by their
record OF 10 victories out of II games
played. Benson, catcher on Harvard
freshman team of last year, has caught
Patey part OF the season, and predicts
that great things may be expected from
him later.
The best Of the season in the line of
remarks about base ball by those ignor-
ant of the game was made some time
ago by the proprietor of the Farragut
house, who was so reluctant to allow
Patey to play on the house team. Aftet
the first game in-which Patey played, on
inquring how the game came out, he
was told that the score was 3 to ~ in
the Farragut's favor, and chat the
opposing team could not hit Patey at
all. "Well, WELL" he said, 81 knew he
couldn't play ball. He can't throw balls
they can hit"
H. ]. Willard, former resident of st.
Johnsbury, a graduate from the Academy
in the class of 'S5 and Dartmouth 80, is
night clerk for this season at the Farra-
gut House, Rye Beach, N. H. He is
studying law with one of Portsmouth's
most promising young lawyers, Mr..
Kelley, also a Dartmouth man. Mr..
Willard expects to study another year
with Mr.. Kelley and take year in Har-

ODD FELLOWs' OUTING.

Last Saturday was great day for the
friends, many people coming in from all
the surrounding towns to attend the
annual field day. About ten O'Clock a
large crowd had assembled on the fair
grounds and were waiting to see the ball
game between the Lyndonvilles and St.
Johnsburys, but the Lyndonvilles failed
to appear, so two picked up nlnes played
for a few innings, affording the crowd
much amusement. The next event was
the hitching up contest. 1t consisted in
seeing who would hitch up their horse
the fastest and drjveit around the track.
Four horses entered and when the word
was gwen there was some lively work
done. At last they had all started, and
every one watched the horses intently as
they made the half mile. The race was
won by DR.. Stiles and his horse Colonel" ."
The winner was presented with a whip
by F. G. Cutting. At II o'clock prep
arations were made for dinner Some
went home, some brought their dinners
and ate picnic fashion, and some took
dinner with Allison & Davie, who served
meals on the grounds. After dinner
people amused themselves and played
games until 100 o'clock, when large
crowd had gathered and the races and
sports began. The three-egged race was
won by Blair and Kelley of Barnet, 80
yard dash by John Beck, sack race by
Isaac Johnson. The rest OF the sports
had to be omitted on account of the rain.
The three-minute race was won by
"Curley." owned by Chas. G. Salmon,
fastest time being 1874. The same time
was made by Nellie F., owned by Ben
West, in the green race. Helen M. was
driven fast mile by her owner, Vim.
Bailey, and she was applauded every time
she passed the stand by her admirers.
The days sport was somewhat marred
by two accidents, caused by the careless
driving of Ed Somers. The first accident
happened to Charles Somers, who was
run into when crossing the track. The
next time the sulky ran into a horse
ridden by one of the marshals, inhictine
so bad wound on the hip that it was
necessary to take several stitches. The
horse was owned by Vim. Brown, the
livery man. sa

three cheers were called for, which were
given right heartily, with tiger"

track, it by no means spoilt the fun, fo1

grand stand when it began to rain, and
