It was nine o'clock when the merry ebildren took the ors for the park. There were over two haudred of them, besides many pareuts who wished to be yoang, for the day at least. It was an ideal day, with swinging, singing, speeches from the little onus, running and all the games so dear to the children were played to their heart's content. The dinner was served in the pavilion; an immense erots was formed of snowy white cloth, spread on the floor and covered with one of the choicest lunch eons ever spread. The children were all seated around the pavilion and as the pastor asked the blessing. It was a pretty sight. Manager Keeler sent up two balloons which delighted the children An abundance of water melons, lemonade, ice cream and oth er good things all claimed the atten tion of the children. Air. and Mrs. Jo. H. Weathers of the primary department and nlr. and I r.-i. J. A. Kgrton, Jr., of the inter mediate deport ment were in charge of the c hildren. Tbey were assisted by titmv kind friend.
