ANOTHER BIG PICNIC DAY.
The Father Mathews Society Again
Favored i'm Their Annual Field Day.

The 18th annual picnic of Father
Mathews T. A. & B. society, like near
ly all its predecessors, has scored an
other success. Except for dust the
weather conditions for field day could
scarcely be more perfect, and the pro-
gram of entertainment was carried out
In every detail While the attendance
was hardly up to the high water mark,
it was highly satisfactory and a liberal
estimate based upon the paid admis-
sions at the gate places the crowd
above $500 people. The deep dust
doubtless prevented many coming in
from the country districts and yet the
presence of more than 100 automobiles
on the grounds was feature of the
picnic.
1t is quite probable that the morning
ball game was the most interesting
part of the days program. This was
between the Stoughton and Fit. Atkin-
son teams and the former came down
loaded with professional players
and were indeed formidable combina-
ton and they played good ball at every
point of the game. By series of un-
fortunate breaks Stoughton won by a
| score of 3 to /. On the contrary the
afternoon game was as ragged an ex-
hibition of ball playing as the morning
game was good. The Edgerton team,
which were the opponents of Slough
ton, were at no time any match for
these seasoned crackerjacks and the
| spectators seemed glad when the game
| ended with a score of Is to l.
Everywhere about the grounds we
heard words of commentator for the
excellent dinner served by the Catholic
i ladies in the big tent on the grounds
where there was an abundance of good
things to eat and promptly served.
Three racing events were offered as
the afternoon program, with fair field
| of horses, but not as close and exciting
as many wish to see, nor was the time
made quite up to the standard of other

TWO NAMED, BUT ONE NEEDED.
Complication Arises Over Christen-
ing of Battleship Arkansas,

Officials Of the Navy Department are
somewhat nonplussed by the announce
ment from Little Rock that Gov. Dona-
ghey Of Arkansas has designated Miss
Marion Clarke, daughter Of Senator
James P. Clarke. to christen the battle
ship Arkansas. The department already
has named Miss Mary l.. Macon, daugh-
ter Of Representative r. b. Macon of
Arkansas. for the honor. This action
was taken, it is said, after the receipt
of a telegram from Gov. Donaghey de-
clining to appoint a sponsor on account
Of lack of time to make the necessary
arrangements.
To meet this situation and in order
that Arkansas might not be deprived of
the honor of christening her namesake in
the navy by a daughter Of the state,
Secretary Meyer took the matter up with
Representative Macon, who was in
Washington at the time, and ascertained
that the representatives. daughter was
willing to act as sponsor. Accordingly
the Secretary advised the president of
the New York Shipbuilding Company.
the builders Of the Arkansas, that Miss
Macon would be the sponsor.
There the matter rests. as no further
word has yet been received from Gov.
Donaghey.
