GREAT DAY AT LAKE
First Field Day at Willoughby Success
in Every Way. Weather Ideal.

Saturday morning, August IA, daWned
with a clear sky and balmy air and
the morning was auspicious, and If we
could have been back in the days Of
old Greece we would have said that
the gods were indeed propitious toward
the WlllOughby Fish and Game club In
their efforts to make their initial field
day a success. Early morning saw
teams coming from all points of the
compass to the popular summer resort.
All manner of cOnveyances were put
into requisition, from the big farm
wagon to the automobile, filled to their
utmost capacity with men, women,
and children, all intent on enjoying the
gala day. The procession to Will
loughby was like those seen during
fair week at Barton. Great prepara-
ons had been made at the lake by
the club and those resident there to
take care of and Accommodate the
crowd and everything and everybody
was taxed to the utmost capacity and
it is safe to say that Westmore never
IN all its history entertained so large
concourse of people before. 1t was
one of the most jolly. good-natured
and orderly crowds the writer ever
saw on such an occasion. No friction
appearance of a great family picnic
The groves were filled with hundreds
Of teams and many automobiles. Many
booths had been erected at advanta-
geOus points for the serving of refresh
ments and they all did a thriving
business. The ladies OF the Congrega-
tional society had booth erected on
the parsonage lawn where refresh
ments were served and they also served
dinner in the church and school house
and the applicants for dinner were so
many that large numbers were turned
away Promptly at 10 a. m., the base
ball game took place as scheduled and
1t was as fine game as any seen dur
ing last years season. The contest
was between the Willoughby Wood and
Lumber Co. team, strengthened by
players from the Barton team and
Dean academy, and the Orleans High
school team. Orleans battery was
Harold and Harry Bassett Willough-
by Wood and Lumber Co. battery was
Barrows and Drown of Barton. It was
closely contested game and the score
stood to 7 at the finish in favor of the
Orleans High school. The umpires,
Fred Pillsbury of Barton and Clyde
Wiley of Orleans made enviable rec
ords of fairness and justice in decis-
| ions. The game. though not entirely
errorleSS, gave great satisfaction to
the great crowd that had gathered in
anticipation of the sport. 1t is esti-
mated that there were over 1000 per-
sons gathered around the diamond. In
fact the crowd was so great that
ground rules had to be established as
soon as the game was called.

Crop and Weather Conditions.

The continued dry weather and the
ravages Of grasshoppers makes the fall
harvest look a little discouraging at
present, although the past day or two
Of wet weather has eased the condi-
tion to some extent. The farm
ers are continuing to sell their stock
on account of the shortage IN the past
ures. Crops are very backward and
frosts are only three weeks away at
tEe most. Grasshoppers are very
thick and are eating the grain in many
places. Some fear the extreme
drought Of this season and last will
necessarily mean light hay crop an
other year as new stock pieces did not
catch we'll and all the fields are badly
burned. However what produce the
farm does turn off brings good round
price, butter keeping high.
