/ A large number of children and many of
the older people spent the day last Thurs
| day in the Brown Park enjoying the union
picnic. 1t was a pleasant day but very
warm. By the way would it not be the

to make it credit to the place, by provid-
ing seats and ia bles so that visitors may be
comfortable. A small appropriation voted
by the citizens of the corporation together
with what public spirit would do might
make this grove delightful place for pic
mics and other meetings
Mr.. n. NJ. Hubbard who exhibited his
poultry at the Newport fair reports that
| the association has refused to pay him the
second premiums which he won where he
won the first premium in the same class.
| Mr.. Hubbard offered a special premium
which he won with his exhibit but in pay
! ing him the association deducted the
| amount of the premium from his earnings.
| II the plan has been followed out with
! other exhibitors, while it will save the
association something this year it will
make it difficult for them to secure exhi-
| billions in the future.
