THE GRANGE PICNIC

With slowly increasing crowd, amid
the clanking Of farm machinery the first
day Of the Granger's picnic at Alcyon Park
was begun. The day, aside from the heat
was all that could be desired and towards
the middle of the afternoon the crowd for
the day had reached its height The base
fball game in the afternoon between Wood
bury and Westyille, in which the former
won by the score of IL to 2, attracted a
good sized crowd.
The farm exhibits were not as far adj
yanced as in former years on account of the
lateness Of the season, but nevertheless fine
baskets of white potatoes, egg plants,
peppers, beets, tomatoes, wax beans, rhu-
barb, cabbage, squash, apples and carrots
were to be seen.
The booth Of the W. j. Mari and Trans
Co., in which was shown the vegetables
grown by their fertilizers, attracted much
attention as did also that in which the pro-
ducts grown by Warren Atkinson's fertil-
izers were exhibited.
The art and needle work was exceptionally
good as was the exhibit OF cakes and canned
fruits and vegetables. A dairy scene in the
farm produce exhibit building constructed
by the Locust Groye Farm was much ad-
mired.
The machinery exhibit was, if anything,
larger than usual. All the labor saying
deyises for the farm were in running order
and placed in as exposed places as possible.
The cement block exhibit of W. G. Atkin-
son was new to quite rumber. Here was
shown the different stages of construction
of the block and the short time which is
required to make one.
To-day Is the big day aud the Park will
be filled to oveffiowing by the afternoon.
Everything is at its height, all the labor
saying machinery will be running and the
rattling of the toboggan and the noise of
the machinery will rise aboye that of the
surrounding crowds.
