nual picnies. The attendance of the twen-
~ty-seventh one at Verona Lake Park
eelipsed that of any of its predecessors.

of vehicles aud people. and the Attendance
WAS estimated at a third more than last
year. The experienced Grange men say
that the total attendance during the day
was 15.00 The only drawback to the
pleasures of those present was the clouds
Of dust that arose. caused by the tramping
of thousands of feet, in spite OF the fact
that the management had had the grounds
thoroughly sprinkled late the night before.
At noon the greatest humble OF the
farmers and their families had arrived.
bringing baskets filed with all the good
things hat the farm supplies, and were
seated. either In their wagons or in groups
upon the grass. eating and occasionally
hailing friends. with a word Of hearty
cheer, as they arrived on the scene. one
of the features OF these picnics is the pleas
ure Of the farmers In meeting old az
quaintanceS and exchanging views about
crops. Later in the day the trolley cars
took loads of people, running on a three
mute Roadway, from New York. New
