The Independent Order of Foresters had a well attended picnic in Mr. Thos. McGirr’s grove on Thursday last. The number in attendance has been var- iously estimated at from fire to eight hundred. An extensive program of spcrts, amusement and dancing fur- mshed the bill of fare, but a slight rain in the afternoon put a stop to the base ball and lacrosse matches. Mr. H. H. Miller, M. P., of Hanover, was the only speaker. but he gave a. good address on the subject of Forestry which was listened to with rapt atten- tion by those who were more interest- ed in speech-i‘mtking than ”they were in dancing. Dr. J anxieson was not present. The dancing platform was well pat- ronized in the evening, lasting on into the night. No doubt the little hours of themorning would have heard the tripping toes had it not been for the chilly nature of the night following a. sharp shower of rain in the evening. The swings were kept going con-1 stantly, and the booth did a land office business during the afternoon. Pic- nics. as a rule, have too much of an advertised program, which, if not car- ried out to the full, causes no great amount of disappointment to the gen- eral visitor, who goes there more for an afternoon’s visit than he does for any ordinary amusement.
