Our thanks are due to those of surrounding neighborhood, who patronized us so liberally. Let us know when you have your picnics and Boothville lads and Iassies will return the compli- ment with interest if.possible. So mote it be. Egremont alone, but County Grey, is proud of Jean Renwick. The progam was brought to a close by the hearty singing of God Save the Queen. Dancing was again resumed and held sway till dark. Swinton Park, Dre- more and Yeovil Foot Ball teams played friendly games. The crowd enjoyed the sport, and those who took part were entirely pleased with the just dicisions of Mr. Arch. McMil- lan. of Swinton Park, who acted as umpire. Games and plays of kind suitable to the tastes of old and young took place in the vicinity of the foot ball matches. The tent, under the able management of Messrs. Geo. Witter, John McQueen and John Weir, did a thriving busi- ness, both wholesale and retail, and sold out their entire stock of chew- ables and drinkables. They made more than Patron per cent. on their purchases. Business is going with the years. Messrs. Jas. McDonald and David McIntyre. who acted as gate-keepers, say the finest looking people in the whole country side. passed through the gates that day. The gate receipts are within a few cents of doubling the amount made last year. This tells its own story about the increasing popularity of Boothville picnic. As the shades of evening began to fall in the twos and threes, the crowd began to disperse' and make for their own homes, or the home of somebody else in many cases. All who wanted to do so enjoyed themselves well. and any who came in a disagreeable mood found it dull. One more Boothville school picnic has passed into history, Thursday the'let of June. was .a model picnic- day. Thus the longest day of the years was appropriately employed by the pleasure seekers in our burg and for miles around as radius. The woods were all that could be desired, and the tents and platforms were built with an eye to convenience as well as to business. The dance was duly patronized, and the music of the popular musicians Haw Bros, left nothing to be desired. It was observ- ed that that day " many danced who never danced before, and those who always danced just danced the more.” While the music and dancing were at their height, there occurred an inva- sion of the platformâ€"not by the Boers, but by a people fully as pic- turesque, the “Calithumpians.” Their qrotesque figures and fanciful crea- tions caused much merriment. They rendered a very good program oi songs and addresses, and then depart. ed as suddenly as they arrived. Of eatables, there were enough and to Spare. The ladies of this part are noted both for the quantity and quality of their baking. The tea was, as usual, good and strong enough to repel an invasion of the Boxers. An informal program was arranged and handed Mr. Ramage, of the Review, who, in his genial, off-hand manner, performed the duties of chairman. Addresses suitable forthe occasion were given by Messrs. Neil McCannel and Donald Currie. Excellent songs were rendered by Messrs. Colonel Wilson and Sandy McDonald and also by Miss Jean Renwick -â€"the Queen of Scottish song. who sang so sweetly that to hear her was worth going many miles and many times the a!~ mission fee to our picnic.

And they came from far and near, lovers and maidens bright and fair and boys and girls galore were there and older heads too.- Mrs. Ross never made better tea and the bas- kets have rarely held choicer cook-‘ ery. ExDeputy Tom Davis proâ€" nounced both first-class. A short prOgram was given in the woods and the Rev. \Vray R. Smith won the good-will of Zionites by his con- genial manner and bright remarks. After tea, Lauristox: and Traverston boys had an exciting game of foot- ball. The visitors scored one goal, thus winning the victory. The con- cert at night was a huge sucCess. IEvcry number on the program was Ia rousing one. Miss Carrie Green- wood anel Mrs. Falkingham excelled in a duet and the speech by Mr. Chas. Robson on “Having an Aim in Life,” would be hard to equal.

Have you been spending your vacation, making the acquaintance of the good people of that quaint little village-Price- ville. It would be a quiet spot to Spend one’s honeymoon. In your case it’s a little premature to speak of honey and the liked but, no doubt, there’s a good time coming, So in your budget last week you thought to outflank us, but don’t you know friend, that in these days of wars and rumors of wars, the watchword is “No Surrender” to Boer, Boxer or Tagalog. Yes, we’ll keep our oxen iat home, for they do seem unman- sageable in your hands. It’s aggra- vating to have them turn the yoke and face you “boo.” We’ll take back the dough also, but from the picnic sparkle in your eye you may secure someone to knead it for you. Come again when your plans are matured. You might tackle another laagar or legation. Never mind indulging in personalities. You have heard of reprisals.
