ID Undertuking ceCE ELIFORD FAMILY PICN1C.- The great annual social gathering c the'decendants and relatives of the lat, William Elford and associated famille was heId ]ast Saturday at Mr. Samue Souch's, near Bradley's Schcol House and we may safely assert that neyeý has the meeting been held under.mori favorable conditions. It was truly a. idyllic picnic day-clear ileasant 'an( June like, leaving nothin.- to be desire in1 this respect. Early in the forenoo: the clans began to arrive and Mr. anc Mrs. Souch had a smile and a glad hanc for al. Man and brute were soon madE comfortabie and no effort was spared tc make ail feel at home. Thev are in thE truest sense mnodel entertainers. ThE dinuier hour found the niceiy arranged tables "groaning-" with weight of thE chicken pies. beef pies, roast fowi, roast beef, roast lamb, cold tongue,sandwich. es, pumpkin Vies, lemon pies, goose- berry pies, plum pies, tarts,iayer cakes, etc., etc., indeed, seidom have ve behel( a more tempting spread and the quality was par excelIence. Nimble waiters anc waitresses serveci the multitude witha skill and promptness worthy of a Paris- ian café. During the afternoon the men- folk and boys plaved foot hall and hase bail 'behin d the barii." The base bal. score---21 to 3-is flot a fair indication of the plaving,but there was very weak flelding oý (n one side. Mr. J. C. Vanstorn was umpire. With sharpened appetites the compauy sat down again at 5 o'clock to a most tempting dispiay of the culin- arv art, and full justice was donc to the ahutidant and varied provision, Like ai] good things, titis happy social assemhly came to an end as the shades off night began to fali, and with bearty hand- shakes and expressions of havinghad a mosýt eljovable time, one after another bade mr!. and Mrs. Souch good-bye and spedi on their homeward journey.
