Olympic Day.

Members of the Fortnightly Club thoroughly enjoyed an unusual program last Wednesday at Fountain Park. Some dozen or more events were called off, the competing side entering as Reds, under Mrs. Crain, and Pinks under Mrs. Geo. Chappell, with Miss Maud Kline, of Leßoy, 111, umpire, and the Reds winning by one point. An aeroplane race, 30-inch dash, 30yard dash, elopement, hammer throw', etc., brought rounds of applause. Each one had to use how and arrow and hit a number on the target before she received her box of luncheon, the boxes each holding a complete lunch for one, having been prepared, one by each member. Imagine the joyous surprises of such a picnic. Mrs. Rosa Crain

was hostess of the day, serving hot coffee and looking well to the comfoTt orirgr ptcnic guests. Thecbairman of the committee, Mrs. E. H. Bull, presented the Reds with a gilded star, to hold indefinitely. Mesdames Bull, Lotta Peck, May Peck, Hargreaves, were in charge of the program. The next session is with Mrs. Frank Howard and Mrs. W. E. Peck at the home of the former.
