about 30 teams left the Christian
church for the picnic grounds. Be-
tween 4sO and 500 people we're present.
The first two wagon loads carried the
choir from both churches, old familiar
songs were sang all the way to the pic
mic grounds, First thing after enter
ing the grounds was the young ladies
base ball game the scores were 1S to 16.
Next was dinner Of which all that were
present did amply justice. After

could play better il they could take
few lessons from the young ladies.
