ATHEEIAE OUTING.

Tuesday, August oath, was gala
day with Athenian Social Club, and
Mount PleaseBt was the scene of gai-
ETY.; this being the third annual out
ing OF the club.
A train consisting of baggage car
and three coaches had been chartered
and waited the arrival of the club and
their guests at the g. and o depot
Seemingly, all of the rubber-tire car
riages in the city had been engaged
for the occasion and the club colors
orange and blue. coud be seen floating
from the lspels of the coats. Some
had bands around their hats made of
blue and orange ribbons
Many of the young misses wore the
colors and the word Athenian filled
the air. In fact everything seemed 20
give away for the Athenians The day
was especially suited TO the occasion
and mirLh and merriment reigned su-
preme
The invited guests were among the
most svleet-a1sk many young married
couples together with those OF a more
mature age were among the happy
throng. Many sought refuge on the
calm waters OF the lake, boating and
fishing, while the pavilion was throng-
ed with those whose delight it was to
engage in the dizzy whirl
The large, shade trees for which NJ
Pleasant is noted formed an important
part in the days pleasure and many
took advantage of the opportunity for
stroll with the ones of their choice
only TO be molested by the gentle
zephyrs which doated through the air.
Prof Harris and his corp of artists
sent sweet strains of music through
the entire place, which added greatly
to the pleasures of the day.
The swings were not forsaken. The
entire club was photographed in a
group and more intelligent lookiL 8
set of young men never looked into q
camera on such an occasion.
The hospitality of the Athenians will
ever be remembered and words OF
praise could De heard in every direc.
tion.
The following are the officers -
Charles + Wider, president; Robert
f Brooks. vice-president; Clarence
M Bowler, secretary, Il darvey Chris
tian, assistant secretary; Charles B
Thompson, treasurer; Evangelist n
Jackson, j chaplain; William Brown
sergeant-at-arms
To the following named gentlemen
is due the greater part of the success
of the outing and they have the com
mend of the guests.
