Thousands Heed Call
and Hold PicniCS on
Banks of Rock Creek

Washington had its first community
picnic yesterday, as part Of the well
laid plans for safe and sane Fourth,
and in response to the call for pic
nickers- the banks of Rock creek were
owned outright for the day by hun
dreds of groups Of people. The groups
were scattered as far upstream as
Pierce mill, and as far downstream as
the big bend below the hill on which
stands the flagstaff at the Zoo It
would be difficult to say exactly how
many people took advantage of the day
to make a community picnic, but it
seemed that there We're thousands.
Some of them stayed by the stream
most of the day. while at least thou
sand wandered from Pierce mill down
to the Zoo, where the Marine Band
played after 1 o'clock, and where the
greatest number of children romped in
the grass.
Field Guns Fire Salute.
In the meadow near Pierce mill, where
the copper beeches attract the atten-
fion of every one who walks or rides
by. Capt. Vogt and a section of the lst
Battery. Field Artillery, n. G. D. c.,
drew up two field guns and fired twen-
ty-one loud shots. to the great delight
OF brigade of youngsters who lined
the fences near a hand and the para
pet of the bridge. Near the guns sat the
Ist Regiment Band, discoursing music
OF extremely fine character, and vel
suited to get outdoor picnic folks all
tuned up for good time. All around
the meadow Were the rank and file of
the picnic army. armed with bottles of
pickles. baskets of sandwiches and
here and there a startling watermelon,
Most of the holiday makers left the
mill as soon as the saluting had beer
completed and marched or rode to the
Zoo. The peacocks will never forget the
invasion, for the advance guard of voune
men Of the ages that run between five
and ten seemed to take a keen delight
in chasing the peacocks.
Hey. BIZ, Make him spread on, hi.
tail, yelled one young safe and saner
which illustrates the general characte,
OF the peacocks troubles all over tht
park. ''''
Band Heard by Hundreds.
The Marine Band played in a grove Of
trees at the foot of the hill in the Zoo
and had a large audience. On the side.
or the hill sat several hundred people
who or course came to attention wher
the national anthem began All over thu
MIL children played and half a dozer
young women organized a big circula,
game for them. At first the circle wa.
small. with perhaps only a dozen little
people in 1t. but as the band played
and more and more people came down tn,
hill to hear the band and see the fun ant
eat their lunches. the circle grew
larger ard larger. until at last II
stretched out over enough lawn to pla,
a small ball game.
This was Washington's first com
munity picnic Nothing loud and noisy
nothing formal. no trouble. no dus

thousand contented folks playing u,
and down Rock creek, in one of tn,
pretuest, ereenest, sweetest groves eve
