Carriages and Buggies
The wagons were very prettily decor
ated for the most part, some of them
having very attractive displays arrang-
ed on them. After going over the line
of march they proceeded to McSword's
orchard, where the picnic was held
The grounds were fixed up In very
attractive manner for the occasion,
three arc lights having been put up for
the evening hours. A dancing platform
and other attractions for the amuse-
ment of those attending had been erect
ed.
The speaking that was to have taken
place Immediately after the parade was
postponed until one O'Clock, but IT was
some time after that hour before Mayor
James Shipman made the address of
welcome. II. w. Gauding, OF Martins

l.. Weems, of st. Clairsville, were the

Following the speaking the contests
heretofore arranged took place amid a
large crowd that had gathered on the
grounds. Dancing and various amuse-

ing.
Taken all In all the affair was one
of credit not only TO the Belmont
Trades Union, in whose charge it was,
but to the town in general, and will be
long remembered.
NOTES.
The Burlington aggregation was a
peach"
Louis Summers horseless milk
wagon made more noise than some OF
the Wheeling street cars
Inc amman Oh lUuB EdEEu variety VIII
pants on brought forth much laugh
ter.
w. b. Halls display made the boys
feel as though they wanted rest.
One paddle, two paddles, three pad
dies sold. Who wants another?
Anybody who thought it was not in
Henry yesterday afternoon were sadly
mistaken.
]. J. Gill was not there, but the
Prosecuting Attorney was, and the boys
thought he made a fine speech.
The average Martins Ferryan was
astonished all around yesterday.
The races at the picnic grounds took
place late In the afternoon and were
very interesting. There were five 100
ward dashes and two exhibition runs
made by the Independent Hose Com
pany. The first race was between
Brock Brown, Of this place, and Charles

1917 seconds. VIM. Neihardt defeated
John Rowan, and Amos Paxton defeat

Clarence Elberts defeated Charles West
wood and a runner from Moundsville

citing.
