The Woo istown club played another
game with the Clarksboro club at the
Ball Park on Saturday, and it proved to
be one of the best games of the season.
Taylor and Wildermath were to be the
local battery. but the latter couldn't
come and Hoffman went behind the bat,
and Mulford Foster, a young lad, was
put in right field and another player
named Pimm went to centre to make up
the team. dad" Handle covered third
base, and he showed the boys that he
hadn't forgot what the bat was meant
for, as he cracked out hit every time
he came to bat. The Woodstown boys
put up good article of ball, and the work
of virgins, Hoffman, Taylor, Benner,
Handle and Nelson was excellent and
received applause from those in the
grand stand.
Yourinson, recently of the South Jer-
sey League, was in the box for the visi-
tors, and his delivery just suited the
home club. as can be seen by the hit
column. Somers caught Yourinson the
first inning, and in the second he was
relieved by Jack Bachman, who caught
the remainder of the game. That good
old "has beep," George Darlington, took
care of centre field for Clarksboro. and
it looked like old times to see George on
the field.
The game was stopped several times
on account of the rain, and only eight
inn ings were played, as the visitors went
home on the OF train and were unable
to finish the game. Following is the

Farmers Picnic at AicyOn Park.
The fourth annual picnic of the farmers
of Gloucester county was held at Alcyou
Park on Wednesday, and large gather.
ing was present, including many from
Salem cou nty.
As early as z O'Clock teams commenced
arriving, and before 10 O'Clock in the
morning the hitohing grounds adjoining
the grove were filled with vehicles OF
every description, from the heavy shelving
| wagon, which carried entire families, to
the little spindle wagon. The team
arrivals continued until late in the after
| noon, and all roads seemed to lead to the
little pleasure resort, until there was not
an available tree or post where a team
could be hitched. A pumber of the
farmers we're compelled to drive their
teams over to the camp grounds to secure
livery for them. 1t was estimated at
noon that 1900 teams had been cared for
in and around the grove, and aside from
these bicycles by the hundreds were
stacked in every nook and corner of the
woods.

patronizsd the merry go-round and
toboggan slides. The placid waters of
the lake also attracted many boating
parties, while others douned bathing
suits and enjoyed plunge in the stream
The scene at the noon hour iu the
picnic grove was uniquely picturesque,
the women folks unpacking large market
bas kets filled with the choicest viauds and
spreading them on the long line of ia bles,
while the men and boys formed a "bucket
brigade" between the pumps and the
dining tables, adding rural simplicity to
the scene.
Although about 5000 people partook of
dinner, there was sufficient in the way of
edibles left to feed multitude of hungry
excursionists.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
farmers repaired to the speakers stand,
where band concert was given for a
half hour, following which Hon. T. FL
Brigham, of Ohio, Assistant Secretary of

The Beve ridges at the Friesburg
Picnic.

Next Thursday. the 18th, is to be a
red letter day at Bsrker's picnic grove.
1t is the day selected by the Friesburg
Sunday school for their annual picnic,
and it may be stated as almost literal
fact that everybody in the Friesburg
congregation is hoping for beautiful
day and counting on going to the picnic.
Our farmers have toied faithfully to
gather in the large harvests and begin to
feel the necessity for taking day IS gen.
uine social rest. The school has now
offered this opportunity, and the occasion
is gladly welcomed.
They have also secured the famous
Nebraska singers, Mr.. and Mrs. G. q.
Beveridge, to furnish excellent entertain
ment for their m any relatives and friends
from distance who always come to the
Friesburg picnic. The Beveridges will
be present to sing in the afternoon. In
asmuch as they have lately appeared
before number of South Jersey audi
ence and established for themselves a
very enviable reputation, it would be
supel1uou to try to advertise them
further than to simply say that they will
be present. This is enough. Hundreds
will try to hear them if the weather
proves at all favorable. While they are
only expected in the afternoon, the picnic
will be held forenoon and afternoon.
