HINSDALE, ILL. 



The annual picnic given by the em- 

 ployees and members of the firm of 

 Bassett & Washburn was held Thurs- 

 day, August 17, in the woods- east of 

 the greenhouses. A platform for danc- 

 ing was erected and Bohlander's or- 

 chestra of four pieces played from 2 

 o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock 

 in the evening. The various events 

 were contested in good shape. The first 

 event was the tug-of-war. This was 

 participated in by four teams of five 

 men each. A team of which Fred Her- 

 man was the captain was one winner, 

 abd a team of which .Tohn Linn was the 

 captain was the other winner. Boxes 



of cigars were the prizes. The shoo 

 race was hotly contested; at least a 

 dozen men entered. It resulted in a 

 tie, the winners being George Schu- 

 mann and John Johnson. The sausage- 

 eating contest was participated in by 

 over thirty. This was won by Larsloo 

 Johns. A 100-yard race was won by 

 Alex. Linn and a 75-yard race for men 

 of 35 years and over had to be run in 

 heats, there were so many contestants. 

 It resulted in a tie race, the winners be- 

 ing Emil O'Berg and David Craigmile. 

 \''he balancing contest was won by 

 Nick Den. A one-legged race was 

 won by Paul Kohout, and a race for 

 boys 10 and 12 years old was won by 

 Walter Anderson. The contests for 

 ladies and little girls were just as 

 warmly contested, the girls' race be- 

 ing won by Lillian Kohout. The needlo- 

 threading contest was won by Miss 

 Johnson. The bean race was one by 



Mrs. O'Berg. The cracker-eating con- 

 test was won by Mrs. Carlson and the 

 ball-throwing contest by Miss Carlson, 

 a second prize being won by Margaret 

 Lenhough. There were handsome prizes 

 in each event. After the contests were 

 over the crowd enjoyed themselves 

 (lancing and jflaying ball. 



The attendance was large. There 

 were 120 grown-ups and fifty-five chil- 

 dren. A delicious supper was served 

 at 6 o'clock, while liquid refreshments 

 were served all the time. Ice cream, 

 lemonade and large quantities of gin- 

 ger ale and pop were enjoyed by the 

 <'hildren as well as by the grown-ups. 

 The management of the picnic was in 

 the hands of a committee appointed by 

 the men themselves and was very ably 

 handled.
