The picnic given to the youngsters yes
terday at Glen Echo was in every way
a grand success and if there was a boy
on the trip who did not have good time
il was that boys own fault for Prof.
Crossley and Lieut.. Tom Nolan worked
hard enough 20 make everybody have
a good time. What with games of various
sorts and lunches and free and easy
time in the glorious hills and at show
places of the Glen the time passed all
too rapidly for the youngsters. They re-
turned to the city at an early hour and
separated for their respective homes,
profuse in their thanks TO their physical
instructor and those who helped him carry
out the plans of so enjoyable an oc-
casion.

Potomac Boat CIrb.
Up TO the present time pleasure boating
has had the call at the Potomac Boat
/ Club house, and during the past fort
night the big house has been entirely emp

The absence of that old reliable oars
man Charley Warden and consistent
