has passed by and with the exception
of a few picnic gatherings, ire crack
ers and some display OF old Glory, the
day was practically unobserVed IN
Potosi. The St. Andrews congrega-
ton celebration as it was termed IN
Tennyson, was very well attended,
and far above expectation. 1t may be
truthfully expressed that where there
are no attractions there will be no
crowd of people. There was a game
of baseball by local pickup boys and
it must be said was well played, con-
sidering with but little previous prac-
tice. Some games and doll rack
were inevidence and the stand where
lemonade, soda water, ice cream and
fruits were sold did good business
and the proceeds of the day barring
expenses incurred will be used to pur-
chase baseball club outfit.
