J. Thomas, chairman of the sports com- mittee, presented a preliminary re- port of the arrangements which are being made for this ambitious under- taking. It is hoped that the picnic wifl attract thousands of visitors, not the Province, as keen interest is he- ing shown throughout the branches of the Legion elsewhere in Ontario.

Horn, Corr:spondent) Hampton, May 7.- The Young radies' Bible Class, "The Glean- ers' under whose ausplcees, the play "Mummy and 'the Mumps," given by the Ebenezer young peo- ple in the assembly room of the church, on Wednesdey evening, May 6th, wish to thank those who atronized their evening's program. | Owing to other things cenflict- ing the attendance was not as | 'arge as usual at a program of this ind. !" It is said that laughter is good medicine and the play presented was certainly one of the laugh- provoking type, being one Deni- son's Royalty plays, by Larry E. Johnston. The cast of characters is as {dl- lows: Sir Hector Fish, Gordon Brown; Francis Briscoe, James Hancock; Willlam Laidlaw, Robert Hopkins; James Slammon (Racker), Gordon Osborne; Perkins, sheriff, Harold Muir; Anna Hampton, Alice Arn- old: Maude Mullen, Sadie Muir; Duleie Dumble, Velma Gay; Aga- tha Laidlaw, Susie Laird; Phoebe Beebe, Hazel Rundle. Each player was well chosen for his or her part, and displayed splendid literary talens. Gordon Osborne, as James £lam- mon (Racker), was kept busy hav- ing the work of three men to do, was one of the most interesting characters. Alice Arnold, as Anna Hampton, a western girl was de- serving of comment, having a ra- ther difficult part in trying to con- ceal Sir Hector Fish, who imper- sonated the Mummy. The work of the sheriff was also one which was made much more difficult, when two 'of the male characters were each impersonating the same per- son, Sir Hector Fish, and latlerly appearing in feminine attire in an attempt to make a brave getaway. We were favored with a few showers on Thursday which were greatly welcomed. Misses Hazel Rundle and Sadie Muir favored with piano duets be- tween the acts. In the absence of Rev. J. R. Bick, the place of chairman was splendidly - filled by F. J. Groat, opening the evening's program with "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," with L. Horn at the piano, after which the Lord's Prayer was repeated. The singing of the Na- tional Anthem brought to a close a successful evening's = entertain- ment.
