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 :-

After supper through the kindness of
local and visiting motoeists, the two
ball teams were taken for an enjoy-
able automobile ride. Simper was
served by a busy staff of waiters until
a generous supply of eatables had
been exhausted and during tbe even-
ing an excellent program was render-
ed with Robert Black in the chair..
Addresses were given by local pastors
and by Rev. Mr. Kane, Londeaboro',
who proved to be a vigorous and ready
speaker. Pte. John Wilburn, who
recently returned from training camp
in England, gave itn excellent tent on
'unitary experiences. Miss Jean
VanNorman and Weir Elliott, Wing -
ham, delighted the audience by their
solos and duet, "Excelsior," and an-
other charming number was a duet in
costume, "Take sue to Old Toronto
Fair" by two little girls, Jean Black
and Margaret Gantlets, A very pleas-
ing feature of this Garden Party was
the hearty cooperation received hems
all classes is the community, showing
that the endeavors of the Women's
Institute have the warm approval of
the public. Such generous support
makes theirwork a pleasure,
