Club Picnic. 



The weather conditions were well 

 nigh perfect for the club picnic at 

 Wausgaicum grove on July 25. The 

 days preceding were damp and cheerless 

 and rain fell heavily the day following, 

 so the members may well congratulate 

 themselves on their good fortune. Much 

 hard work had been put in by the presi- 

 dent and the various members of the 

 sports committee, and great credit is due 

 them for the entire success of the whole 

 affair. 



Three heavily laden Boston and Wor- 

 cester electrics* left Boston promptly at 

 8:30 a. m., reaching South Framingham 

 an liour later. Here many joined the 

 party and boarded a number of special 

 electrics, which carried them to the 

 grove. So well was everything arranged 

 that by 10:30 a. m. three baseball games, 

 as well as quoits games, were in progress 

 simultaneously. There was keen compe- 

 tition in all of the twenty-five classes and 

 the 350 or more members and wives, 

 families and friends seemed to thor- 

 oughly enjoy them. At the close of the 

 day's proceedings President Wheeler pre- 

 sented the prizes to the winners and 

 eulogized F. E. Palmer, chairman of the 

 sports committee, for the amount of work 

 he had given to the athletic end of the 

 picnic. Rousing cheers were given 

 Messrs. Wheeler and Palmer, both at the 

 grove and when they left the cars on the 

 homeward journey, at Chestnut Hill and 

 Brookline. 



All who attended voted the picnic a 



grand success in every way and those who 

 could not attend from divers causes wish 

 they could have been present. The grove 

 selected proved an ideal one for picnic 

 purposes. Nothing happened during the 

 day to mar the proceedings and many 

 wishes were expressed that the 1907 

 meeting would be at the same grove. 



The winners of the various sports were 

 as follows: 



Baseball, married and single; single won, 14 

 to 0. The winning team was composed of John-

Picnic Notes. 



The commercial growers were useless 

 against Wheeler's private gardeners' 

 team in the tug-of-war. They were 

 pulled four feet over and held there for 

 three minutes. It took some of the re- 

 maining stamina out of the contestants. 



A lady was heard to remark that it 

 reminded her of a Sunday-school picnic, 

 every one behaving so decorously. Surely 

 this is a good recommendation for the 

 Boston Club. 



The veterans ' race was a hair-raising 

 one. Messrs. Miller and Ready ran a 

 dead heat twice. The winner is 67 years 

 old, and, like so many more winners, 

 came from north of the Tweed. 



The fat man's race was a good one. 

 James Wheeler won in 1905, but this year 

 the youth of the stalwart W. R. Nichol- 

 son told and the latter came in three 

 yards in the lead. 



F. E. Palmer did yeoman service for 

 the picnic. He bought and marked all 

 the prizes, made up 500 bags of peanuts.
