OUTING.
Tuesday two parties had their an
nual picnic outings at Greenwood
Park. They were respectively the
Sunday School of the First Baptist
Church, Eighth avenue, North, in
charge of its superintendent, Dr. j. B.
Singleton, and the employees of the
National Baptist Publishing House,
under Mr. S. p Harris, chairman of
the general committee Of that institu-
ton for the occasion.
The two parties were wholly indie
pendent of each other, it being a mere
incident that they had selected the
same date and place for their picnic.
But they merged into one jolly, happy
gathering, exchanging courtesies each
with the other which intensified the
pleasures of all 1t was beautiful to
see these two distinct parties become
one happy whole.
The day was a delightful one. The
steady and refreshing rain which last
ed nearly all of the day before made
Tuesday the most ideal one that any
picnickers have had this season for
their pleasure outing, Cool, refresh
ing breezes, laden with invigorating
and healthful oxygen, romped and frol-
licked and chased each other over the
swells and hills and through the glens
and dells of beautiful Greenwood
the one ideal pleasure place for the
thousands of colored citizens of this
growing city Everybody seemed to
have caught the spirit of the occasion
and was joyously happy. Groups OF
picnickers were scattered here and
there over the park. They made beau

: than charming to see. 1t was a joy
