How the Day Was Celebrated mt
That Historic Place.
The members of the Local Federation
of Labor and District Assembly No. &C.
of the knights of Labor took their an
nual Labor Day outing to Marshall Hall
yesterday.
The excursion was a complete success
from a financial as well as a social point
of view, and was participated in by vast
throng of pleasure seekers and sons of
toll
The steamers plying between this city
and the resort were kept busy transport
ing the excursionists Four boatloads
were landed at Marshall Hall during the
day. and many came from the smaller
towns on the Maryland side of the river.
The first boat left the wharf at 10 o'clock.
and other trips were made at $780, $50
and at 8 O'Clock in the evening.
The day was pleasantly spent in various
kinds of amusement, chief among which
were the athletic contests. which were
given after the arrival of the afternoon
boat.
These contests were inaugurated by
ball game. The painters nine met the
stone cutters team, and the game pro-
gressed to the third inning. when the
sport was interrupted by heavy shower.
The game then stood 8 to 2 in favor of
the painters, and when the rain ceased
the grounds were too wet to continue the
play.
The rain also caused a postponement of
the other contests until o'clock. The
fat mems tub race could not be rowed en-
account of the weather.
The great pig chase. which occurred
shortly after the arrival of the afternoon
boat was a laughable event as. of course,
all pig chases are. The one hundred and
fifty pound hog creased with six pounds
of lard, was given thirty yards start in
race. After a dash of 500 yards the ami
NAL was caught by Charles Winkelman.
of the Painters Union, and became his
property.
The wheelbdrrow race also furnished
| considerable amusement. Five persons
started, and the race was run in two
| heats. The first heat was won by ]. Fea-
! ". and the second by w. F. Moran The
| victor of the final heat was ]. Fealy, who
won easily.
Fealy was also the winner of the foot
race which followed.
| The children's contests took place
| about o'clock in the vicinity of the
| dancing payilion.The program included
three-legged race. sack race. and an
egg roll.
