CLUB PICNIC DATE SET BACK TO JULY 18

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Van Rensselaer club Monday evening it was decided to change the date of the annual club picnic from June 20, the date originally agreed upon, to Sunday, July 18. The picnic will be held at Lake Maxinkiickee. The above action was taken for several reasons, the chief among them being the general opinion among the that the picnic should not be held until the summer is further advanced, that the bathers may take to the lake with greater comfort. It has also been learned that Culver Military Academy will not open up for the summer term until June 29, and it was the desire of the members to visit the Academy in the evening and witness the drill. Another reason for waiting until a later'date is to give the spring fries a better chance to get themselves in condition for the skillet. By postponing the picnic one month it will give the various committees much more time to prepare, thus insuring the success of the event.
