RED (Mose .DAY. -The Red Cross Garden Patty, held in Bluevale on Friday afternoon and evening 25th, ult,, wasa gratifying 111100808. Wea- ther was ideal and after the steady work of harvesting for many weeks the Peewees were just in right mood to enjoy an outing. Lawns and flowers at the new school were look, ing their best and the spacious grounds proved to be splendidly adapted for a large gathering. Al, night, when the scone was illuminated by the soft glow of the Ohinese lanterns it made a fine picture. Total proceeds amounted to 810700 and this makes a record for a Gardeu Party In Bluevale. As expenses were coinpaea- tively small the Women's Institute will have a large sum with which to carry on their patriotic work during the coming season. The feature of the day was the Ladies' Base Ball match between the Gorrie and Blue - vale girls. Gatne W/1.9 called at 5 p. by umpire R. A. Currie, Winghant, and was witnessed by a large throng of enthusiastic spectators: Npt hav- ing been oeganized thie season the Bluevale team had no hope of winning but after a disastrous opening, which piled up the sepia agninst them, they succeeded in holding their own and the game provided the best of enter- tainment for the Onlookers. Score of 28 to 18 represents a victory of two to one in favor of Garde but the Gorrie girls were "gentlemanly" opponents and the best of feeling prevailed throughout. The line-up was e.s fol- lows :- Bluevale Gorrie F. Ai tchison pi M. Speir taller A. Earl M. Messer catcher E. Hupfer M. King let base M. McGuire L. King 2nd base 0. ()ethers A. Spence rind base 11.
