YOUNG BROS. AT SHEPARD.
Large Crowd Had One of the Most En-.
joyable Times They Ever Had

| Never have more favorable conditions
attended the annual outing of the en-
ployes of the Young Bros granite plant
than on Saturday lastg when a large
crowd went to Shepard's grove for the
eighth annual observance. The arrange
ment committee expended every effort
to make a success of the event, deyot-
ing considerable time previously to equip
ping the grounds with things that would
increase the amusement and pleasure
Of the pcniekers. Several impromptu
stands were constructed and scattered
through the cool groves, where all wants
were served by corps of white-aproned
walters. The youngsters in the grounds
were made happy by the distribution
of candy and ice cream.
The picnickers congregated at the park
shortly before noon, operations at the
plant ceasing at 10 O'Clock. This per-
mitted the employees opportunity to
make preparations and arrive at the
grounds at the noon hour. On arrival,
the amusement seekers found a sumptu-
Gus repast awaiting their serving. Full
justice was done to the repast.
A baseball game between the married
and single men constituted the most
interesting event of the day. The game
was prolonged into ten innings and it
was not until darkness came that the
married men concerted their attack and
brought home the winning run, making
the final score to g. In the past these
annual battles have been source of
interest, but Saturdays fray viii be re-
corded as precedent.
The battery for the winning side was
George H. Stewart and Andrew Robert
son. The pitching of Stewart, although
erratic at times was so effective in
pinches that victory came the way of
the married men. John Giovanelli and
John Birnie were in the points for the
losing team The batting Of William
Troup featured the game, together with
slashing home run by james Patter-
son.
Another athletic contest that brought
forth considerable comment from the
picnickers was the tug-ofwar match be
tween teams of fourteen, representing
the polishers and the granite cutters
of the plant. Twice were the cutters
enabled to drag the handkerchief to their
side of the line, but not until after ten
minutes of incessant struggling.
Alex. Anderson, well known in local
amateur theatrical circles. was called
upon to tighten the minds of the merry.
makers with few character sketches.
Mr.. Anderson finally responded and was
accorded such applause for his imper-
sonations of Harry Lauder, the great
Scotch comedian, that he was obliged
to respond on several occasions with
other sketches. Mr. Anderson was as
sisted in his theatrical performances by
Young's orchestra, which consisted OF
William Troup, violin; John Giovaneli.
trombone; and James Edwards, bagpipes.
This orchestra passed good portion
of the day in the Shepard pavilion and
rendered popular tunes while many of
the picnickers joined in the gay wihrl.
Other races of the day were as fol-
lows: Boys race-Won by Arthur Shan
non; second, George Young.
Liberal prizes were awarded to the
winners of the various athletic contests.

was comprised Of the following mem
