Program of Chicago Iiumhermen's Picnic 



Ihc Lumbermen's .\s.«i>ilntlon and Luinbprmen's Club of Chicago have 

 .i...ut completiHl nrniUKPnipuls fur ilw iinuunl picnic at Kavlnia I'ark, 

 which will take place on Wednesday, .luly -22. Unusually extensive prep- 

 arations for events have been made, as well as provision for other 

 enlertalnmpnt. and. as a result, this ouling will be most effective as a 

 dlspellor of the sloom which more or Ipss surrounds the lumber business 



RavtDia Paik was chosen tbrou|<h the mcins of a post card ri'fenmlum. 

 Sipveral plncej. were suiigested. but Kavlniu was an almost unanimous 

 'l-<-lslon. 



ihe games will begin promptly at 10:30 a. m., In order that they may 

 hnlsbed before dinner, which will be served In the Casino at II' :4." 

 : . m. The charge will lie $1.00 a plate, the association paying the exces.-; 

 over this amount. 



Kor the benefit of those whose recollection of the last dinner at 

 Ravlnia Is not very pleasant. Uardwood Record suggests that on that 

 occasion an entirely different mannscment, and one which was proven 

 to t>e Inefficient, was In charge of the restaurant on that occasion. This 

 year, however, experienced people have that department In charge and a 

 satisfactory dinner Is absolutely assured. 



.\dmlsslon to the dinner will be by tickets only and reser'atlons must 



made based un the number of tickets actually sold up to Monday, 



' ily 30. Those who have failed to order tickets by that time will have 



• . take their chances on such service as can be given them after holders 

 .if tickets have been provided for. 



It can be readily appreciated, therefore, that it would be good policy to 

 purchase tickets before that date. It Is only necessary to advise Secretary 

 Hooper as to tbe number of tickets desired and these will be prompt 1,\ 

 mailed and charged against the Inquirer. 



In addition to the program of field events, the Chicago Sym|.l 

 Orchestra wll! give concerts at 'J :Oii p. m. and 8 ;00 p. m., with s|. 



• Innclng features, which may be attended without extra charge. 1
