BURNS CLUB DAY IN OPEN.
First Class Time Enjoyed at the Annual
Outing.

The annual outing and picnic of the
Burns club was held under the most
suspicious conditions at Caledonia park
on Saturday and was attended by an
even greater degree Of success than in
past years. Commencing at an early
hour members of the Burns club, their
families, friends and invited guests
wendell their way to the park and at a
seasonable hour in the afternoon con-
SENTATIVE estimates of the attendance
reckoned the figures at $50.
Caledonia park was equipped for the
big outing with swings. sliding boards
and other amusement devices that at
tracted the younger element. Here and
there, interspersed through the woody
hooks of the park were found booths
from which the wants of both young and
old were dispensed by brigade of white
Faproned walters. From the pavilion the
gentle breezes waited the sweet and
melodious music across the fields. Con-
cert selections were rendered by the
sBruc orchestra at intervals during the
afternoon. Dancing received a large
share of the efforts of the orchestra.
Cornet solos by Karl Forsell were re-
ceived with applause. Among those rem
dered were THE Braes of Doom" and
"Auld Lang Syne"
Soon after noon, President Angus Nc
Donald and Vice President James Mitch
ell went into consultation and drew lots
for the big baseball game. As has been
the custom for some time past, the presi-
dents team won the laures of the day.
McDonald's Bootlegs won from the
Mitchell Gatherers by the score of to 4.
Cooper, the redoutable pitcher, was on
and twirled invincible ball. He found a
capable battery mate in "Bill" Emslie,
who displayed big tent game of back
stopping. He dealt with deathly effect
on those baserunners who dared chal-
lenge his wing. Opposed to Cooper was
Bob" Stewart. 1t was only through ex-
cellent support that the score lowered
at low figures. Jim Hogg assisted him
behind the bat. One of the most CON
spicuous features of the game was a
ilusty three Dagger by Capt Mcdonald
lof the winners. His hit came at that
stage of the game which practically de-
cided the victors. James X. Anderson,
lwho many years ago was player of
srepute on the diamond, played the initial
sack for the losers. He proved to be
thurman seive," permitting many throws
Ito break away from him. He was
Istrongly censured by his team leader.
