MANY SPORTS AND GAMES
Day Was Delightful One for Picnic
and the Occasion Was Much
Enjoyed.

The annual picnic 81 the employees Of
Afarr ana Gordon was held yesterday at
Caledonia Park. The weather was ideal
for an outing, and the assembly which
numbered over 200, thoroughly enjoyed
the sports and other diversions provided
for the occasion.
An excellent programme Of athletic
sports was commenced early IN the day.
and were keenly contested throughout,
while for those who were so inclined
there was dancing Ia the Pavilion, the
music being furnished by Messrs rater-
son, and Ogston with theirusual efficiency.
In the course Of the afternoon fine ex-
hibitien Of step dancing was given by
Alex. Milne and Thomas Mcdonald. The
former danced an Irish fig while the lat
ter gave the wen known Highland Fling.
Both dancers we're loudly applauded.
As in former years, the members of the
| firm gave a very handsome donation to-
wards the funds Of the picnic, and by
their presence on the grounds did much
to enhance the success Of the affair.
The committee wish to take this oppor-
| tunity of thanking them for their liberaI-
| ity, which is fully appreciated by the
workmen, and which serves to further the
good feeling so desirable between employ
ers and employees.
