Several of the pupils who att tended the school forty years ago were present and interested the younger ones by telling of the good times they had playing hide and seek among the large boulders in the lot where the picnic was held.

BASEBALL TALK.

Baseball has gotten the boys so en- thused that there is talk of getting up a second nine and the promoters of such an idea seem very confident that they can easily do those of the first nine and judging by the showing that those fellows who came up from Gay louisville made in three innings it would not be very hard job. A migh- ty good thing the shower came up just as it did on Saturday for those Gay louisville fellows would have washed up our boys in great shape and they had the girls right with them ready to help put it on, but we hope that com pany won't be discouraged and will try it again when it doesn't rain. We won't feel bad if our boys get beaten. Let them hustle and do a little more if they want to play ball.

Soft lights from Jap anese lanterns fell on lines of settees filled with happy spectators on the spacious lawn, backed by large Amer ican flag hung heath the maj ma= pies. which for six decades on this site have felt winter with it's snows and sum- mer with it's flowers.

 @tF From budding flower to falling leaf, Her summer time is all too brief
 MT O'Dell was present to enjoy the festivities. MT Trowbridge had not spared expense in preparing for the oc- casion and was ably seconded by his neighbor, MT Russell, the well known artist, and lover of children. The two gentlemen were in pleasant contrast, one sedate, and one jolly as any school boy. They set off the different pieces without mishap. As one after another the evanescent but beautiful displays lighted up the night, and feathery bal looms silently foated away into the darkness and, with the pleasant hum
 
 and the better part of humanity there to add grace and pleasure to the scene, it was an occasion to make old hearts young and young hearts gay. The wind up was huge bonfire, by the light of which cake and cream were served to 25O friends and neighbors of the hos pitable master and mistress of this unique and cozy villa. Of all the sum mer residents of Washington none are held in more kindly regard by the townspeople than MT and Mrs Trow- bridge Out of town guests present were pr and Mrs Alfred S.
