PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Committee Furnishes List of Winners in
the Many Contests of Day-Mixed Up
Shoes Cause No End Of Merriment
and Confusion in Men S Shoe Race.

The Kenosha Retailers Association
established a reputation as joy makers
Of the highest degree Thursday as a
result of the successful picnic, where
thousands of people from Kenosha and
Kenosha county met with the mer-
chants to enjoy the annual outing at
Silver Lake, Good fellowship and good
natured rivalry were the rule for the
day and everyone joined in to have
the time of his or her life and was sue
cessful beyond his widest dreams.
Time and space would fail to record
even the main events Of the day, but
no account, however, meager, should
fail to mention the mad scramble
which hurled the pleasure seekers into
the "hidden treasure" search. In
tree-tops and Easements and even in
the middle Of Silver Lake were hidden
the coveted boxes, each containing one
of the fourteen cards, which would en-
title the finder to one of the treasures,
but in spite of the ingenuity of the
committee, each one was found after the
most diligent search. In the afternoon
the grocers established their claim to
the baseball championship by defeat
ing the married men in close 7 to 6
contest, which had all the ear-marks of
a slugginG contest. Volley ball and
quoits proved popular entertainment
for the many who took no part in the
set contests of the day.
The men who entered the shoe race
found more than they bargained for
when Manager Fogwell and III. A. Brun-
ier just before the starter IS pictol crack
ed caused them no end of confusion by
mixing up their shoes at the other end
of the line and left them to work out
their own salvation and win the race
in any method which they could devise.
Eating pie from the ground proved
amusing for the boys and onlookers
even though several youngsters may
have had a little trouble explaining
just how they managed to spill
all of the juice down the front
of their shirts.
The basket dinner and supper, sup
plemented by the hotel meals for those
who came without preparation, gave
the outing the old style picnic touch
and helped to lead to conviviality and
good feeling among the many in at
tendance. The McCaffery orchestra
furnished excellent music for the
hundred who stayed for the dance in
the evening and at a late hour the
sound of the music reminded the passer-
by that the merry makers were loathe
to close the successful retailers picnic.
