PICNIC AT LAKE MOREY.

The statement that postponed
things are failures was proven false
for once by the Ladies Society Pic
mic, postponed from Thursday until
Friday on account of the rain.
Between twenty-five and thirty men,
bers accepted the invitation of Mr.
and Mrs D D Davis for fish-chowder
dinner and Friday proved to be an
ideal day. The air was warm and
balmy; Lake Morey was on its best
behavior, not a ripple marring its
surface. The day was spent quietly
chatting and enjoying the restful
beauties of the "Gift Shop" and its
surroundings and eating the delicious
dinner, beginning with chowder and
ending with Strawberries and cream
Mr. and Mrs Davis are ideal hosts and
the Ladies' Society is most grateful
to them for their hospitality which
has been extended to US for several
years. Long life to them.

THE THREE BEARS.

The popularity of children's enter
tainments was shown last, Tuesday
evening, when crowded house greet
ed the operetta, FThe Three Bears"
From start to finish there was no
flaw in the performance, which was
under the management of Mrs Gene
We've Poole.
The preliminary drills by the Girls
Club, led by Miss Blackington, and
the Boys Club, captained by Law
renee Hale, were perfectly executed
and great credit must be given these
organizations for the work they are
doing i'm developing the physical
powers of our young people, not only
for this exhibition, but in their regu-
lar weekly work. These clubs, while
sponsored by the Congregational So
ciety, are absolutely non-sectarian and
only seek to be beneficial to the
young people of the community.
Following the drills came the
operetta, the familiar story of 'The
Three Bears" in which Little Peggy,
as represented by Virginia Cole, was
transported to fairy-land The differ
ent bands of fairies, beautifully gown
ed and with garlands of flowers,
baskets Of roses, gaily colored bal
looms, wands and gay scarfs, danced
their dances and executed graceful
evolutions, sang their songs with
spirit and went through all manoeu-
vres with grace and perfect rythmn.
The Three Bears brought down the
house with their antics, and their
singing was especially we'll done.
The interludes were delightfully."-
filled by Lucy Pratt, who juggled with
a ball accompanied by recitative;
and Helen Neal, who danced "The
Last Rose" danced in manner that
80 pleased all that she was called
back to repeat the performance. Few,
except those who have tried it, know
he amount of work involved in pro-
lucing a play of such excellence, and
he Ladies' Society feels most CRATE
'ul to all who contributed to its
uccess.
Mrs Poole was most ably assisted
" Mrs Christine johnson, who
rained all the dancers; by Mrs
lara Hooker, who accompanied on
he piano; by Mrs Madeleine Haskins,
n charge of the costumes; and Mrs
,velyn blackwell, who saw to the
cenery. A most substantial sum will
e added to the treasury of the
aides Society.

the management of her pair and she was
the recipient of much applause from the
hundreds of OnlCOkers. She was awarded

ond.
In the $500 class, Earl Purinton en-
tered two teams against DavenpOrt's one
pair. After the first trial. Davenport's
oxen refused to be driven and they were
withdrawn. PurintOn's team then drew,
both teams being driven by Miss Gallup,
who again demonstrated her ability in
manipulating the steers. Purinton was
awarded both first and second prizes
