The Masonic picnic last Thursday
was success in every way, the weather
considered. Atlantic came up with

and to say their music and program
was fine, is simply putting it very mild.
All enjoyed themselves eating under
the trees with once in while sun

tired, but well repaid for their trip.
Audubon responded both on the morn
ing and afternoon train, but those
arriving in the afternoon were disap-
pointed as the train did not arrive
until after o'clock, making their time
all too short, but they seemed to enjoy
the short while, remarking that they
always enjoy our shady groves and
meeting our people. Extra was glad
to meet her neighbors and hope to
meet them again when the day is more
pleasant. Come again.

crowd witnessed the Reds again defeat In
dianapolis to-day. The visitors were unable
to bat, and some rather ragged fielding also
contributed to the result. Hogriever did
considerable kicking throughout the game,
and was target for the right-feld pavilion
'kidders." A wild throw from the pitcher
over the first basemans head was fielded
by Hogriever, and when the spectators
laughed at him he turned quickly around
and threw the ball at them, hitting a spec
tator, but not injuring him. Nothing was
done to "Hoggie. but an act of that char
