The picnic which was held at Knowl-
ton on Thursday, the Doth inst, for the
benefit of St. Francis Catholic church,
and which was gotten up by the mem
bers of that church at this place and
Knowlton, was rousing success be-
You'd all expectations in every particu-
lar. The day was an ideal one and long
before the noon hour the crowds began
pouring onto the grounds from all di-
rections, some coming on trains, others
with conveyances and many on foot
Dinner was served to between 400 and
500 people. The afternoon was taken
up by game of base ball and various
other amusements, with dancing in
bowery, music being furnished by brass
band, about 20 dance numbers having
been sold at bowery. Supper was
served on grounds from four until
seven p. m. After supper the crowd
repaired to Brooks hall for the ball at
night an even 100 dance numbers were
sold, part of the night Ga couple held
down the spacious dance floor and sit
ting room was still at par from specta-
tors. The original intention was to
serve supper for ball at Malone hotel,
the use of which place was generously
donated by Mrs. Jno. Malone, but ow-
ing to the vastneSs of the crowd this
idea had to be abandoned, and instead,
luncheon was served free The man
agement thinking this would give
best satisfaction when it was impOssi-
BILE to fill the DILL Much credit is due to
those who had the affair in charge and
to all those who so generously re-
sponded in supplying eatables, it being
a noticeable fact that many outside of
the pail of church donated quite as lib
orally as the others, thereby showing
that a friendly feeling existed, which
always has strong tendency to make
an undertaking of any kind a success.
Many people were present from Wau
sau, Mosinee, Halder Moon, Stevens
Point, Custer, Ellis, Dancy and the
whole surrounding country. The gross
receipts were $330S 81 with a net of S240
This amount could have been much
larger had it cen possible to have sup
pied the crow with the necessary re-
freshments and carried the andertak-
ing out as originally planned. Another
noticeable feature was the quietness
that prevailed during the entire night,
demonstrating that the crowd was com
posed of that element that world not
stoop to make the night hideous by their
shrieks as is sometimes the case.
Mrs Berkholder, of Wausau, held
the lucky number that drew the quilt
that was rallied off.
