HALLOWEEN PARTY
AT R. G.. GOODMAN'S

The third annual Halloween party Of
the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A. was bowling
success, the road between the point at
which the 200 or so guests alighted from
the electric cars and the destination,
the farm Of r. G. Goodman, was lined
and ambushed with creepy, sheet-draped
ghosts and COLLINS, who sprang up from
all sorts of eerie places, the automo-
biles which brought many of the guests
to the festive scene were illuminated
with jack-o-lanterns in place of the usu-
al headlights. When the crowd arrived
at the farm each was blindfolded and
lined up for a grand tour of inspection,
each victim took dying grasp upon
the next in line, and they were led
away. down through orchards. over sticks
and stones, into gulches and dips. the fin
al descent being down regular young
cliff, after which they all scaled stone
wall and landed in the road, with all
sorts of wierd noises along the way,
provided by accomplices who were sta
toned at irregular intervals on the route.
Finally returning to a roaring fire in
the farmhouse yard. the guests were pro-
vided with wands and hot dogs" rolls
y
sells in after their introduction to the
flames. one of the guests remarking,
Say. the only thing that worries me
is. will the dog or Crawford Gatcomb
be roasted first" which goes to show
that the fire must have been some blaze.
Then the party adjourned to the house.
where hot coffee and doughnuts RECALLED
the travelworn adventures, after which
they witnessed a novel pillow fight in the
big barn.
A pole was arranged horizontally
across the barn about four feet from
the floor, and on it, facing each other
and with their feet tied together I'M
dehneath the POLE sat the fellows who
had to mix it with pillows filled with
straw. When they started to swat there
certainly was something doing. They
waloped each other off the pole, slid
down and had to stand on their heads,
and for the onlookers this part of the
entertainment was a scream. Charles
Kinsman and Mrs. r. G. Goodman led
off in the string chewing contest in
which fellow and girl each took the
end of a long string in their teeth,
which string had a couple of raisins
tied safe distance apart in the mid
die, and the idea was to chew the
string in and beat the opponent to the
raisins. Some sport? Fortune telling,
with fortunes drawn out of big
witch's kettle. bowls of fortune, eating
the elusive apple tied to the string, and
several finely rendered piano selections
eby E. c. Bullock helped to keep things
moving until the time of departure. A
very much exhausted and extremely
happy crowd bade goodnight to the
hosts at 1890, and thus the third an
nual "Y" Halloween party passed into
history as one of the biggest successes
ever.
