•
Anglican and United Churches Enjoy
?Picnic Together.
Despite the threatening skies of
'Thursday, a record crowd turned out
• to enjoy the union picnic of the An-
glican and United Churches held ;n
Victoria Park, Gorrie. Each and ev-
ery one, whose good fortune it was
to be present, enjoyed the various
.amuseenents provided for their pleas-
ure. A real old time pillow--fig'ht prov-
ed a real, source of fun and many of
the younger folic made excellent use
.of the swings until it was necessary
to proceed to the Arena, where the
races wore held, owing to the inuch-
needed shower of rain. During the af-
ternoon the adults enjoyed a snappy
• game of ball played by Orangehill and
Gorrie, resulting in a 12-3 score.

Softball games beteyeen Gorrie and
the mixed team from Gorrie South
played a very interesting game, fol-
lowing a bounteous lunch. The score
was 17-4 for the Gorrie South team,
but it was a better game than the
• score .would indicate. Another game
was played between the married men
and the single men, this resulting in
• a score of 15-5 for the married men.
;The games were 'umpired by Rev. Mr.
Butt and T. Montgomery for the first,
and Rev. Butt and A. E. Toner for
the second. It was the opinion -of all
