necessary equipment for sports for
everybody from six to sixty.

ments, baked beans cake and all the

destined to be famous in the annals
of the Winslow Sunday school.
This picnic was entirely arranged
by the members of the Epsilon Phi

taught by the pastor, Rev. Walter
Eaton.
The general committee in charge
was composed of Howard Norton,

The prizes Of the afternoon were
awarded as follows: Potato race,
winner first heat. Albert Huff: sec
ond heat. Faylene Hodges; third

Milton Smiley: fifth heat, Harriet
Howard.
The finals were won by Smiley
with Garland a good second. Car
land, however. did come through a
few minutes later with pretty fin-
| ish of the sack race. The human
wheelbarrow race had been widely
advertised and it is rumored that
considerable money changed hands
on the result. Kendall Howard and
Edna Cushman dashed down their
line to thrilling finish amid trc-
mcndous applause. No less lmpor-
tant an event was the three legged
race in which Parker Patterson and
| Madeline JakinS had the lest of a
close decision. Patterson immedi-
atclv after this event showed his YER
satility by leading his team to
! speedy victory in the tug OF wal
! Considcra bic excitement was caused
in this event 10y the fact that Walter
/ Eaton in an attempt to ensure VIC
tory for his side lashed his end OF I e
rome to a tree After the deception
was discovered nothing was done
beyond many excited words. In an
attempt to punish Mr.. Eaton Tor ms
perfidy he was installed as umpire
of the baseball game. THIS was
worse. however. as the man proved
himself to have even worse CHAR
acter as a baseball umpire than as
anchor man in the tug of-War. ne
game was holly contested, but the
general belief was that the willy UNI
pjre had the best OF the battle.
