OLD SETTLERS, PICNIC, 1901.


our day. Thursday, 29th of August, but
aratiiyingly to us kept the showers in
bis pocket. At 4:4O A. NJ. the entire
eastern SKY and the horizon sweeping
both northWard and southwark was red
dened. This was pronounced indl-
cation of vet day, which fortunately
for the picnic did not mateliaize.
Thursday was really fine day. There
was thick, tangible haze in the Amos
phere which served to screen US from
the fierce rays of an August sun and
moderate the heat. Preparations for
feeding q large multitude had been
pushed with vigor for week, rs though
there were no such happening as q
rainy day, and the immense crowd that
gathered at Paddock's Lake by noon
showed that they had no fears of their
fun being defeated by a storm. Tue
people have learned to get seats early in
the pavilion, and even before the band
were seated in their places on the pat
form the pavilion was sea Of expectaut
faces. After a selection by the baud
PRAYER was offered by Rev. ]. E. Ga.
rett, Of the Bristol Methodist chul Gil.
The audience then joined in singing
America" skillfully and spirltedlv l.
by Rev. E. N. Andl ews, of the Bristoi
