The Springfield Farmers Elevator
picnic held at Shady Lane Stock
Farm on Tuesday June 7th was a
most enjoyable affair. The weather
was ideal, the sports we'll planned and
admirably managed and every one
apparently in the humor to have a
good time. About fifteen hundred
persons participated, in the most part
farmers and their families, but with
goodly sprinkling of visitors from
Sringfeld, Sleepy Eye and New Ulm.
At l0:30 a ball game between the
young men and married men was
called but seven innings served to
demonstrate to they oung men that they
didn't know how to play ball at which
time the score stood to 13 in favor
of the married men. Mr.. Asch of the
First National Bank pitched for the
benedicts, while VIM. Winklemann,
Joe Cassidy and Lefty Wendt curved
for the 'ssports.
Dinner was next in order and the
crowd spread themselves in groups
about the spacious grounds aud
enjoyed the conten9s of we'll filled
baskets. Immediately after dinner a
short address was made by Z. E..
Potter, pres. of the F. 3. Co. who then
introduced Mr.. Wilson of the Mime
sofa Agricultural College. Mr.. Will
sons talk on horses was we'll received
and was followed by vocal selection
by picked choir with organ accom-
paniment. The foot races were next
in order. The young mems hundred
yard dash was won by Reuben Potter
with Percy Bolt second. Reuben
Potter also won the half mile race
with Alfred Matter second. The
/ young ladies race was won by Miss
I.Jeske, that for girls under fifteen and
ten, by the two daughters of Jas.
i Callahan Of Red Rock. The boys
high jump was won by Victor Scheu-
der. The mems standing Jump by
Jas. Callahan. The best pulling team
on the ground was possessed by
Jacob Runck of North Star. A six
