B0NAcCoRDS AT CALEDONIA.
Picnic Saturday Was Attended BY 300
People.

The annual picnic of the Bonaecord
football club was held last Saturday al
Caledonia park. The weather was all
that could be desired for an outing, and
there was a crowd numbering about 800
who went down just after noon time
upon special train over the Wells Riv.
er road.
There was large and varied program
OF sports, which were keenly contested
throughout. There was a good ball game
and dancing, and the usual hot weather
refreshments of ice cream, soft drinks
fruit, etc, were freely served by a COM
mittee who spared no pains nor effort
TO make the outing success and a
source of enjoyment to young and old
Dancing was immensely popular through
out the afternoon and evening The mu.
sic was very efficiently supplied by Har-
ris' orchestra, while b. Palmer and James
Stewart acted as masters of ceremony.
The baseball game was between the
married and single men and was warmly
contested from beginning TO end. At
Caledonia park this season the benedicts
have been having by far the best of
things baseball, but in this instance the
tables We're turned and they got trimmed,
Q to 4. Bob Wright was captain for the
married men and Jim Forbes for the
single lads, while Douglass and Duncan
were the batteries for the former team,
and Bissette and Mcdonald for the lat
ter, The features of the game were a
triple play for the single men, by A.
Wood, and the umpiring of George Booth,
who is without question one OF the
bright particular stars of amateur base
ball
The sports were carried out under the
direction of Alex. Walker and William
Still, assisted by George Taylor, and one
of the features they provided was a
three legged race for members of the
committee only. The partners to try
their luck with this rather unusual meth
cd OF locomotion were selected BY name
promiscuously from a hat, by Jim Stew
art, who held the option of challenging
the winners. This proved unnecessary,
however, as Stewart and his partner,
James Forbes, came in somewhat ahead
of the other bunch, many of whom met
with various mishaps upon their very
uncertain journey, much to the amuse
ment OF the onlookers.
The committee in charge of the pic
mic and to whose energy much of the
success was due, comprised the follow
ing George Taylor, president, Robert
Davidson, secretary, James Stewart,
James Taylor, William Still, James
Clark, Alex. Walker, A. Mackie, James
Forbes, A. Benzie, G. Mitchell, B. Pal
mer and @. Mclean.
