 Several hundred real estate men and their friends. including scores of candidates for city office and offi- cials of city, county and state, turned out for the romp and had the time of their lives, notwithstanding a slow rain which dampened the swimmers. of the warm hospitality extended by him, echoed on every side. both while at the Oliver place and during the Journey back to town. Depar lures began about 3:3o o'clock because ot the rain. Watermelon, barbecued meats, ice cream cones, corn on the cob, lemonade and salads were pres ent in great quantity. Whole regi- ments of corn stood piping hot wait ing for some one to come along.
 Fisherman's Luck
 Cars began arriving on the scene early yesterday morning. Those of the party who were fishing enthusi- asts came early and journeyed to the lake. Several had fair luck, although the rain drove the disciples of Izaak Walton to cover early
 Various games diverted the atten- fiop of many of tba ronppprS Sayer9 of them more or less severely taxing the participants. Horseshoe pitching and several boxing bouts also occu- pied the attention of the crowd.
 Much credit is due the committees in charge of the affair. Dancing was a pleasure on an lnprovised floor, with a good negro orchestra supply ing music for the afternoon. Mrs. John T. Yeatman as chairman of the women's social committee and M. P. Messer as chairman of the mems so- cial committee, saw to it that every one enjoyed the party.
 Roland Lide was in charge of the dancing. assisted by Mark Myatt and H. M. Davis. Their ingenuity was probably taxed to the limit in pre- pairing for the dance. but they got by in splendid style.

 c. w. Bonta won the attendance prize offered by President Jerome Tucker. It was beautiful Bible and was resented to MT. Bonta by Dr.. Franl Willis Barnett of The Age Herald after bright presentation speech.
 Lieut. Governor Nathan l.. Miller talked to the crowd few minutes, declaring that he felt he was express ing the sentiments of every one when he called Pat" Oliver most hospita- ble in granting the privileges of his property to the party for the romp.
 President Jerome Tucker and Sec retary o. H. Horton were busy all day seeing that everyone was comforta- ble and having good time.
 Women of the party had an enjoy able time swimming, due to the fact there were two boats on the lake which were ready to go to the assist ance of swimmers in distress. The swimmers attracted considerable gathering despite the rain, which fell in a slow drizzle. w. w. Abell of the Young Mems Christian association gave an exhibition of fancy diving and swimming.
 Several persons had hard luck along the roadside, falling out with punctures and engine trouble. Most of this was en route to the barbecue, however, and good Samaritans picked up the unfortunates. carrying them on to the lake so that no one who started out for a good time was de- prived of the pleasure.
 Needless to say, every one who was on this Realtors Romp" will jump at the chance to visit Pat Oliver and enjoy his hospitality along with that of the Birmingham Real Estate board.
