RACQUET CLUBS OUTING
Horseshoe Citizens Are Offer
ed an Evenings Pleasure
Carlstadt.

There nave been trolley rides, outings
and picnics galore this season. 1t has
been an especially great season of such
! festivities. But it is doubtful If there has
been among the hundreds of such events
| one better planned thar that of the troll
ley ride of the Racquet Club, which took
| place Saturday night to Wagner's- Park,
Carlsbad. The committee in charge has
every reason to congratulate itself upon
the success of the venture. All "racquets'
of the Racquet Club. successor of the IA
nous Greenwood Club, with headquarters
at Seventh and Grove streets, have
| proved great successes. Each social event
has ecIipsed the success of it's predecessor.
The only trouble that can be found with
the arrangements for Saturday nights
trolley ride is that the committee had I'M
derestimated the popularity of the club.
and that three instead of two long open
cars should have been secured. The re-
suit was that a number had to be content
with footboard accommodations. Even
these felt that they had been amply COM
p~ensated. Enjoyment characterized the
event.
Nearly a thousand residents of the
Horseshoe witnessed the start. The menu
bers of the club and their guests started
from the clubs headquarters about nine
o'clock. With Professor Holders band
playing lively airs, which were axe up
by the exultant voices of the several hun
bred participants. the merry party was
whisked through the city out upon the
meadows, across bridges spanning two
rivers. and through other picturesque
localities that on account of the darkness
were not fully appreciated until the re-
turn trip. For this was made by day
light. The jolly party did not arrive home
until six A. M. The start for home was
made just at the dawn. The air was de-

Fieecy clouds in the eastern sky caught
the first beams of Old SoIs morning
smile and took on a rosy hue that was
delightful to gaze upon.
The cars seemed to fly. There was no
danger of collisions of any kind at that
hour and motormen seemed in a hurry
aroun curves and through picturesque
hamlets, the merry party was whisked
and whirled in a manner that was ex-
hilarating. The memory Of a pleasant
dance and entertainment at the park just
left in Carlsbad even was almost forgotten
in the excitement of the ride. Among
those who entertained at the park were
Mr.. John Chleld; tenor, who sang tEleneF
and other popular songs; Richard Buck
ley, who sang Hello. Ma Baby, and
told a lot OF amusing dialect stories;
George Thomas. with songs and stories
that have made him locally famous and
a few new ones thrown in. and Miss
Annie Hart, who sang very sweetly
THE Green Fields of Virginia. and
