Tng-of-war, commercial growers vs. private 

 growers, won by the commercials. Winning 

 i^nm consisted of W. A. Manda, Paul F. Burke, 

 iienry W. Vose, E. A. Peirce, Mr. Decker, C. 

 "olbrow. H. H. Bartsch, J. P. A. Guerlnean, 

 •{,■ L. Miller. Losing team consisted of Mr. 

 f^orns. W. Robb, A. O. Sawyer, J. L. Smith, J. 

 i.aiiy, F. Humphreys, A. K. Rogers, Bolton 

 ."^swjer. 



The tug of war was a close shave. At 

 the outset the commercials made a good 

 gain, which the privates nearly overcame 

 before the minute elapsed. W. A. 

 -Manda's weight and strength told heav- 

 ily in favor of the commercials. 



J. P. A. Querineau played hard on the 

 commercial baseball team, but the pri- 

 vates, under Curtis, could not be downed. 



J. E. Fotheringham, of Tarrytown, P. 

 C. Green, Providence, R. I., and W. A. 

 Manda were among visitors. The laat 

 named played baseball well, in addition 

 to assisting in the tjig of war. 



P. M. Miller was an eflBcient starter, 

 and W. J. Kennedy made an excellent 

 megaphone man. William Downs pre- 

 sented the prizes at the close of the con- 

 tests. 



The fat men 's race was the best of the 

 kind the club has yet seen, better time 

 being made than ever before. 



Too bad there was no veterans' race. 

 M. H. Norton was ready to compete, and 

 looking as young and fit as when he won 



the same race at Randolph four years 

 previously. 



Peter Fisher did not compete, but his 

 son umpired the boys' baseball game 

 most acceptably. 



The attendance of ladies and children 

 was the largest the club has ever had. 

 The committee remembered them with 

 boxes of chocolates and ice-cream. 



There was no sports committee this 

 year; the executive committee managed 

 everything, much credit being due to the 

 members, P. M. Miller, P. Fisher, R. 

 Cameron and J. K. M. L. Farquhar. 



The Hiflfe family showed that they had 

 done some athletic training, judging 

 from the number of prizes they captured. 



The -committee had plenty of tea, cof- 

 fee and sandwiches for everyone, so that 

 no one need be hungry. 



Delightful weather, beautiful picnic 

 grounds, well contested sports, no one in- 

 jured, all home iu good season and all 

 bills paid — surely that is a record the 

 committee might well be proud of.
