RAINED ON SINGERS PICNIC.
German Society Will Hold Another Fest al
Maennerchor Park, in JuIy.

The third annual summer party of
the German singing society in the
park near Gehler'S farm last Sunday
was a success while it lasted, but a
heavy rain storm brought an early
termination to the event. Threaten
ing weather detained many people at
home: however, when the Maen-
nerchor, headed by it's band,
reached Ethe grounds a couple
hundred people were gathered there.
The principal feature of the picnic
was the band music and the singing
of the Maennerchor members, all of
which was warmly applauded. The
program of sports and games was
given up on account of the weather
and the bOwery dance was a minus
pleasure for the same reason. A good
natured crowd managed to find amuSe-
ment between the light rain drops for
two or three hours until heavy
downpour sent them all home looking
as if their picnic had been in the
river rather than in the park.
Indications promised very large
attendance if the day had been pleas
ant. AS it was the society took in
S154. enough to cover all expenses and
leave balance.
There has been a general demand tC
try this picnic over again so the
Maennerchor has set the date of an.
other good time for some timein July
at the same place. Watch for bills
and further announcements.
