The ANNUAL
PRESS DAY.
AT The PARK II K
Was Thoroughly Enjoyed by News
papermen and Their Friends
Yesterday Afternoon. <
COL. ROLF DOES THE HONORS.
Most Hospitality - Responses to
Toasts by Messrs. Hook, Rob
ertson and Others. ~.

Seated about the festal board last
evening at Wheeling Park. a number of
local newspaper men and their friends
expressed the sentiment OF the assem-
bly,, when they drank to the toast pro-
posed by Colonel George Hook. Here's
many more happy days and a pleasant
old age to our gracious host, Col. Aug
ust, RoK.,"
For years past 1t has been the GUS
tom OF Colonel Rolf to in
vite the press to spend GER
tain afternoon at the Park in the
month OF June. when the roses and
magnolias are in bloom" as he express
ed 1t, when they might lay aside the
cares OF the daily grind and give them
selves up to the beauties Of pastoral
life, This year, however, he was un-
able to issue the invitation, at the ac-
customcd period, on account OF the
busy season. and the day was deferred
until later In the summer. q, :;
In a short talk to his guests yester-
day Colonel Rolf said: My reason for
giving this yearly outing to the press
is not for the publicity 1t might give
our park. nor Is It In return for favors
bestowed. but l believe you deserve
moro recognition than you receive, and
for one. am anxious to make your
burdens lighter and your cares less.
You work harder. and your hours are
longer than any other class Of men,
and believe your pleasures are more
limited. 1t gratifes me to be in a po-
sition to entertain you and I trust that
in the years to come 1t may. be my
pleasure to extend to you this annual
hospitality"
The banquet at which Colonel Rolf
thus expressed himself. followed an af-;
ternoon Of bowling in which n number
Of those present participated. The
bowling contests were noted for the
emulation that was manifested by the
two teams. and especially for the high
scores made by Il number of poor
players. However, It was never sug-
gested that :he scorers were bribed,
nor that false additions were "rung
in" Following is the score according
tn Prof Shockays figures. "a

upon this rock shall I build my church
and the gates Of hell shall not prevail
against IT. The sermon was a re-
marknble one as to force and power.
The speaker did not mince his words.
He believed that Christ did not mean
that 1t was upon Peter he would build
his church. THIS doctrine Is nonsenslc-
al. though believed by q great church.
He meant himself. The speaker then
gave his opinions as to why we do not
have success at our camp meetings.
There are too many; otherlthings going
on in and around the grounds. What
is needed is to get down 10 the business

In 1t and not merely to see and be

In the past. They see no good in the
present whatever. But these persons
are few in number and yesterdays SER
vices showed that there are persons
who are thinking of how they ought to
live now. They are willing to let the
past be In the past and their motto is,
What are you now" rather than
What were you forty or fifty years
ago." The very best OF feeling pre-

The early morning was one OF great
