GROUNDS yesterday was much more OF a /
success than any one expected and the |
sum realized is entirely satisfactory. The |
three big events OF the day were the fat |
mems race. the ball game and the tug OF I
war
The ball game was between a team
from the church and the Amherst Gray's |
and the latter were not In IL for min
ute. the score being i3 10 L.
John Harlow won the Ice cream contest
and during its progress his little family
stood about him thinking that he was
about 20 end his existence by eating this
delicious concoction.
Many OF the members OF the parish
thought at least that he would be unable
TO preform any more work for the church
during the summer, but Mr.. Harlow. evil
IDENTIFY knew his capacity and finished
winner. He was ready for one more set
TO. and was on deck bright and early this
morning.
The fat mems race was won by Frank
German, John O'Connell and James Nc
Deed being tied for second place. Mr..
German was slated to lose the race. for
none supposed that he could carry himself
at any such rate OF speed and none were
more. surprised than himself
There was a great deal OF fresh air
used at the end OF the race and all OF
the contestants were given hearty greet
ing by their friends.
The tug OF war was between teams
from ST. Anthony's. st. Mary's. 81. AIMS
and St Theresa's parishes, and the final
was between st. Mary's and st. AIMS
and the former winning.
This produced as much fun as anything
on the ground during the day.
The days outing was most successful
and delightful and the Rev. Fr Brown
was the busiest and happiest of the gath
ering.
HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
David Bigelow. who has gained much
notority OF late. by caring for strike
breakers, at the Manton mills, had mar
row escape from being killed last even
ing.
Just before dark, he mounted bicycle.
and In descending Mowry's hili he lost
control OF the wheel.
Motoman William Allen, seeing the man
coming toward him. reversed the power.
and had succeeded In getting the car 10
run down hill slowly. when the wheel
crashed into the dashboard. The rider was
sent sprawling under the electric.
The car was stopped and the notorman
and conductor went to the mans assist
ance. When the crowd that had been at
tracted by the accident saw Il was Bige-
low they refused 20 assist the car men
I'm caring for him, and some even went
so far as to prevent the railroad men
from taking the injured man from the
tracks.
The Olneyville car barn was notified and
DIR. Murphy was sent In a special car 10
the scene. He found that Bigelow's right
leg below the knee had been broken IN
two places. He had also sustained many
cuts and bruises.
cAPERs OF CUPID.
Can the Union Railroad company be
charged with the breaking up of love
match?
This is what the friends of young man
whose first name Is Daniel and is a popu-
lar member OF the Homestead club, ue-
sire to know and Dan 10 also interested.
Dan and Katie have been keeping
company since last fan, and Dan has been
in the habit of calling upon Katie Sun
day evenings.
A few Sundays ago he went to her
home in Centreville. and upon his return
home a huge tree was found upon the
tracks OF the road. and n little further
along the line the car bumped into an
other obstruction.
Dan informed Katie Of his experience.
and she warned him not to take any more
chances, but stay at home. and 30 he Is
pondering.
Katie's side Of the story has not been
told, but she can rest assured that Dan
Is still fsithful and will be until the rail-
road strike Is declared on.
His many friends have suggested that
he buy a wheel but he appears TO be
about as much afraid Of wheel as he
is OF the elcctrics.
