got all the articles for the various games 

 together and sent on his own team over 

 the road free of cost to the club. 



In the three-legged race Palmer and 

 Duncan were getting steam up when the 

 tape was reached and if the distance had 

 been a little greater would have scored. 

 The first named surprised every one by 

 the way he ran in the 240-yard handicap, 

 being in the lead until forty yards from 

 home. 



It was a grand sight when the 100- 

 yard race for members came oflf. The 

 whole twenty ran abreast, owing to the 

 ample space at command, and it was a 

 splendid finish. 



Messrs. J. W. Duncan, T. H. West- 

 wood, Peter Miller, Kenneth Finlayson 

 and O. Lumsden all rendered very valu- 

 able aid in connection with the sports. 



In the married and single ball game 

 Palmer at first base, Wheeler second 

 base, Edgar third base and Shedd pitch- 

 er, were shining lights on the married 

 men's side. 



It waa necessary to play the cricket 

 game on a time limit. F. Cole, of 

 Wellesley, bowled with deadly effect for 

 the private gardeners. T. Coles batted 

 well. Palmer played steadily for the 

 commercial side, as did .T. R. (.lark. 

 Capers and H. A. Stevens were bowlers, 

 but it was clear that the privates were 

 too much for their opponents, having 

 three more wickets to fall and seven min- 

 utes to play when stumps were drawn. 



The way the married ladies ran was 

 an eye-opener to every one, A trifle over 

 six seconds for fifty yards shows the 

 fleetness of the contest. 



' ' Never felt so stiff for years, ' ' is the 

 way many of the contestants expressed 

 themselves for some days after the pic- 

 nic. Wheeler has recovered his voice, 

 which he lost on the way home.

July just closed has been the wettest 

 and most uncomfortable month we ever 

 remember. While there have been few 

 temperatures of 90 degrees or over, the 

 humidity has been excessive a great part 

 of the month. W. N. C. 



than 2,000 lights were broken. Fruit 

 trees on the farm were also damaged. 

 Mr. Vandervate stated that the storm 

 was one of the worst ever experienced 

 in this part of the country. The greater 

 part of the damage was done by the hail, 

 which fell thick and fast, and it was but 

 a few minutes before every glass in the 

 greenhouse was gone. Corn was also 

 damaged. Mr. Vandervate estimates his 

 loss at $1,800. 



GALENA, ILL. 



The greenhouses belonging to B. F. 

 Vandervate were almost totally wrecked 

 in a hail storm a few days ago. More
