CONGREGATIONAL PICNIC FILLED THREE CARS.
Great Day at Ocean Beach-BalI Game and Athletics.

The United Congregational church held it's first Sunday school outing on Wednesday when 300 of the members of the church and school filled three cars on their trip to Ocean Beach, starting from Franklin square at 9.15 in the morning.
 J. E. Sherman had charge of the liquid refreshment, assisted by Miss Abby Gallup, and soon after the arrival at the beach had the ice cold orange ade ready to hand out to use with the basket lunches each had provided for their monday repast.
 The energy thereby stored was spent to a considerable extent during the first athletic event of the afternoon, when two teams explained by Edward Bognanski and Roland Harris made the surroundings dangerous for a few innings which resulted in the score of II to in favor of the latter team The lineup comprised:
 Bogdanski'S team: Joseph King c. William Buckley p. Edward Bogdanski 1b, c. L Smith 2b, Levi Talbot 3b, Charles King If. Theodore Montgom- cry Of, Donald Rathbone If
 HarriSs team: H. B. Cary c, Edwin Hill p, Osten Ferguson 1b. Raymond Heebner 2b. Roland Harris 3b, Herman Whitehead If, George Mount Of, John Doe If
 A record was tabulated of the star plays until they were so numerous that the description was somewhat tangled by their overlapping and it appears necessary to tell of but two. These were the meteoric catch in mid-air of a fly by William Buckley when he jumped iron, the board walk to the beach below, making the third out in the second inning and the throw 1 by Raymond Heebner from deep cen l ter to Catcher Cary at the plate thereby cutting off Pitcher Buckley | from home run in the third Umpire i Jere Angell very wisely umpired in l his bathing suit, being ready to duck | on any occasion that might arise. 1 Chairman William Buckley for the | boys and Miss Ruth Breckenridge foH | the girls carried out the later athletic ! competitions which were won as fol- 1 lows:

 The stentorian tones of Superinten
 dent Emeritus H. B. Cary, who acte,
 as announced for the afternoon, wa very gratifying and remarked upo1 quite generally by the older guest in attendance. Supt. H. W. GalIur
 kept the good nature from ebbine
 starting with the primary department up to the seniors, and seemed loath t make the announcement when the tim
 arrived at 4.15 to depart. Timely pa triotic songs added interest until tn 7 arrival again to our metropolis at p. m.
