and Fun for

st. Joseph's parish held its annual pic
mic and reunion at Shell Mound Park yes
terday. This parish has given other pic
MICS and they have all been grand.y sue
cessiul, but the picnic yesterday filled
even the most reminiscent parishiCners
with Joy.
There were over 1000 people in the park
during the day, and if there was any one
who was not glad he came he was sub
merged in the sea of general hilarity.
the main body OF the picnickers left on
the O clock boat, although every "trip un-
til late in the afternoon was patronized
by large crowds ioyward bound.
At the park there was provision for the
amusement of every body. A brass band
discoursed music to the delig hit of all the
young people and most every body was
young. There were games and races for
all sorts and conditions of men, women
ana children. There were llg dancing
contests that brought up fonu memories
of revelries on the green sod away over
the water and for the people who couldn't
win anything in any other kinds OF con-
tests there were gate prizes, lob III all,
and ITO one has any excuse TO be both
incom petent and unucky. The prizes
will be distributed at St. Joseph's Hall
Tuesday evening.
The affair was financial success, cir
cutnstancs very gratifying to the ladies,
tor the proceeds were to go 10 the Fair
fund. The absence OF unpleasant Incl
dents throughout the day was q oircum-
stance gratifying to every one. Three
blle-coated representatives OF law and
order had nothing TO do all day but strut
around and look important. They didn't
even catch small boy trying 10 scale
the fence in fraud of the ticket man.
