haps the most enjoyable of the series so
far given.

In nearly every land of the world, pre-
scented a series of views through the aid
of his excellent stereoptiCor Illuminating
his travels through perhaps the most pic
turesque land in the old world
lie commenced by asking the attention
of the audience to his place OF departure
from this country, New York, and with a
series of views combined with most en-
tertainins and instructive continuous lee
lure, carried them with ht-l, first for an
introduction TO the Norwegian people and
their customs, then, step by step, through
the beautiful scenic land until he had
them almost chilly as they viewed the
continuous ice and snow of the Northern
extremity. approaching the pole and the
land of the midnight sun.
The views were wonderfully clear and
distinct, and tho effect was all the more
delightful for the reason of the magnih-
cent scenic subjects he had chosen. His
descriptions as the lecture proceeded were
better than u book of travel on account OF
an admirable eloquence of delivery
couched in the choicest OF English die

his mother, who was ill, and take her

were staying. Neither man nor
team has been seen since, and despite a
liberal use of the telephone and tele-

GRAND PICNIC,
Foresters Have Their Annual
Outing at Cherryvale.
Games and Races, Goodfel.
lowship and Wholesome
Enjoyment the Fea-
lures of the Day

There have been many picnics thi,
season and there have been many sue
cessful ones, but the one which thus fal
has eclipsed them all was the CRANE
annual outing Of the Foresters at Cher
ryvale Grove on Saturday.
Every member of this excellent organ
ization who could possibly do so was
present with his family and one and all
all both young and old joined in the
pleasures of the day. Everything thai
could be conjured up for wholesome
sport was the order of the day and the
affair will long be remembered by
everyone present.
Chief Ranger John Nc Donald was
there and superintended everything in
most admirable manner and to him
and the committee is due the credit of
the affair. The committee consisted OF
the following; James X. Anderson,
George Gay, William Grearson, George
Taylor, Even Nc Kenzie, Alex Corti,
Henry Cassellini and A. j. Schneider.
The above mentioned gentlemen did all
that anyone could possibly do for the
entertainment of the psrty and their
efforts were rewarded by success and
by the hearty appreciation Of everyone.
One of the most exciting races of the
day was between the two genial and
and popular members Of tho Order,
Henry Premier and Even Nc Kenzio,
'ciIr s&aihee of the course 3.vss some,
where IN the vicinity Of 500 yards and
while Mr. Frenier won there was con
siderable dispute as to how much he
was ahra,l of his opponent.
The races and games were all in
leresIing and abounding in a spirit of
friendship. The result of the various
contests We're as follows married
ladies race won by Mrs. Joseph Yale,
Mrs. William Douglass second, Mrs.
Charles Scott third and Mrs. Kennerson
fourth; Boys race, A. Nc Kenzie, $.
White, V. Bylow; Girls race Mabel
Bylow Miss C|eary Il. Colby; young
ladies race Miss Turner, A. Calcighn.
Miss Donnhue. Miss Patterson; Girls
race, +. Nc Donald, Bella Nc Kenzie,
Bella Smith; Bachelors race, James
Ross, William Owens, George Finla'er'
One of the new departures from the
general run of games at the picnic was
cricket game, shis was won from the
single men by the married men. The
foot ball game was won by the single
men and the base ball game be the
married men.
One of the results of the cricket game
was that the Foresters are to challaage
the Clan for a game at the laters picnic
next Saturday and the game will prob
ably take place.
