The knights and their familfés to the number of sixty left early on Satur- day afternoon for the scene of the festivities in twelve automobiles which had been kindly loaned for the 'occasion. Byeryone who attended the picnic voted it a great success and as it is the first which has been held, the or- ganizers feel well satisfied with their efforts. In the afternoon a baseball match was played between the trunk men, captained by George Smith, and the grip men, captained by Thomas Stew- art. The captaih of the former team twirled and the balls he shot over the plate were so mystifying that his team won out by 7 to 6. J. J. Crawford played the part of Dr. Umps and gave out his decisions so well that after the game he was pre- sented with half a pound of tea.

Baiden won, with W. H. Dalby second. Chris. Baiden and Alfred Abernethy won out in the three-legged race, and A. W. McMa- hon and W. H. Dalby followed in very closely. In the old travellers' race, T. H. Stewart beat them all out, with John Wright in second place. There were also races for the med- jum-sized men and races for women. The boys could not let the afternoon pass without a swim and many took advantage of the cool waters of the bay to dissipate the heat of the day. After a sumptuous supper, which was served daintily by the ladies present, the programme for the even- ing was started. -Salisbury's or- chestra furnished music and young and old joined in the merry dance, Interspersed ,were delightful chorus- es, songs and recitations. Sir Knight Gedrge Smith and Sir Khight J. E. Singleton recited most acceptably. At 11.30 p. m. the jolly party re- turned to city. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. Local Notes and Items of General Interest.
