swaka belongs the credit of setting
new record in the line Of entertain
ment. It's first annual picnic and
games held Thursday at Eagle lake
made history for the recently formed
society. There wasn't a feature on
the days program that did not carry
with il enjoyment. zest. fun. frOlic
and enthusiasm. n pleasing feature
Of IL all was that the ladies and chill
dren were given every attention and
pleasure. Their wants were attended
10 first. and they entered into the
spirit OF the occasion with all possible
grace and good humOr.
over a hundred members of the So
ciety and their friends-to be exact
there were los in the party-began To
gather in front OF the Hotel Misha-
waka as early as s o'clock Thursday
morning. When the automobile com
mittee. under the energetic leadership
of Charles OstrOm. watched the
Arowd grow they were seized with APP
prehension. and when the los mark
WaN reached and only SUFFICIENT cars
on Ihe parade ground 10 accommo-
date about 20. hurried scramble
arounG the city was made, and within
a short time there were cars TO spare.
Previous 10 starting for the picnic
grounds the band OF pipers and drum
mers gave a selection. and the signal
10 start was given. The party got a
splendid sendom from the many
Mishawakans on the streets. and
cheers were given at various places
throughout the city.
on arrival at the lake no time was
lost by the committee or grounds and
sports, and in less than half an hour
the first event was pulled off. There
were IL items on the program, all of
which were keenly contested.
Perhaps the most interesting and
novel features Of the day We're the
Scotch dancing and piping. The en-
trants were from Chicago and Misha-
waka. Where each Of the Highland
ers did so well il would seem invid
iOus TO mention names, but some OF
the old Scots from South Bend, Mish
awake and other places gave il as
their opinion that they had never
seen such dancing or heard such pipe
music as rendered by Sandy McTaV-
ish of Mishawaka and y. r. Dewar
and Douglas Merry of Chicago. The
Judges OF the dancing and piping
we're Mrs Mary Watt and James
MacGregor OF South Bend and j. G.
Hill and w. T.. Wallach of Mishawaka.
