GOOD TIME At BIC
PICNIC
Old Settlers Had Three
Days of Fun and
Recreation.

| citation was held at its grounds June
III, Is and 10. Friday morning
found everything in readiness for
the pleasure of those who wished to
meet and enjoy three days outing.
The grounds were nicely cleaned and
part set off for the teams to be left
| in, with hay to be used, and another
part for the automobiles, and still
room for a baseball diamond. A pa
vilion 30x40, with speakers stand,
seats, ETC., was erected. The morn
ing was spent in getting acquainted
and inspecting the grounds. At
1915 George w. Brown announced
that the beans and coffee were ready,
and the way all enjoyed the dinner
would go to show that George had
| learned the art of cooking beans
about right in his early pioneer life.
In the afternoon short business
meeting was held, followed by very
exciting ball game between the east
and west Monitor boys, resulting in
the West Side" boys being victor
ious. In the evening those who
cared to, danced a while with Mr..
and Mrs. Ellis of Wenatchee as mu-
sicians.
Saturday morning found a much
larger crowd on the grounds. The
Cashmere band was present and rem
dered some very choice selections.
Prof. Casebeer favored the audience
with several we'll rendered recita-
tions. AS an elocutionist the profess
sor is hard to beat. In the afternoon
the election of officers were held re-
sulting in VIM. Hayden being elect
ed as president; G. T. Richardson,
vice president; Will C. Reed, secre-
tary and treasurer; z. A. Lanham,
T. J. Henry and Dan ShaZer as di-
rectors for the ensuing year, and G.
w Brown as special committee to
look after the grounds.
N. N. Brown read very interest
ing paper on early days in the We
natchee valley, calling particular at
tention to different ways that had
been used in trying to irrigate the
valley as a whole, and that sur
rounding Monitor or Browns Flat"
as it was formerly known, in parti-
cular.
At about p. m. all attention was
turned toward the ball game, which
proved to be very exciting, resulting
about the same as on the previous
day. Some estimated that there were
800 people on the ground and all
seemed to be enjoying themselves.
In the evening large crowd filled
the pavilion and enjoyed dancing
until a late hour. The orchestra
from Wenatchee furnished the mu-
sic.
Sunday morning was rather
stormy but crowds began to gather
at an early hour and by noon there
were 500 people on the ground. The
Wenatchee band was out and rem
dered several choice selections. At
1880 we had a recitation by Fern
Taylor, followed by a splendid ad-
dress by Judge J. HI. Chase. Many
were the dates in early history al
luded to by the judge, showing he
had given his subject some careful
study.
N. N. Brown followed with a few
well chosen remarks, thanking those
present for their attention and es-
pecially the Wenatchee band for the
help they gave in making these meet
ings so pleasant.
The McManus family was present
and rendered several selections of
vocal music which was appreciated
by ALL Sunday afternoon ball
team from Wenatchee played the
Monitor boys and carried away the
honors. ALI departed feeling that
l
passed off pleasantly and resolving
to try to make the fifth annual meet
ing one that everybody would desire
TO attend.
Mrs. Ed. Edmonds, of Bremerton,
visited at J. L. Weythman's last
week.
Mr. and Mrs. w. C. Barlow well
coined little daughter in their
home Saturday evening Mr. Bar
dow thinks she will be able to sing
a solo by next Sunday.
We noticed DR.. Shore of Leaven-
worth in attendance at the picnic
on Saturday.
Mr.. Eucher has sold his ranch to
Mr.. Baker, of Wenatchee. Mr. Eu-
cher will remove to Cashmere to re-
side for a while.
