BOSTON CLUB'S PICNIC. 



Ideal weather prevailed, July 24, for 

 the annual picnic of the Boston Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, which was this 

 year held at Cunningham park, East 

 Milton, the finest meeting place yet se- 

 lected. The grounds are over 100 acres 

 in extent and beautifully wooded, and 

 the remark heard on all sides was that 

 the picnic should again be held there 

 in 1913. The attendance was over 500 

 and everyone seemed to thoroughly en- 

 joy himself. The committee in charge 

 had attended to its duties well and 

 those who did not take lunches along 

 had plenty provided to satisfy the inner 

 man, sandwiches, etc., being furnished 

 free, also ice cream. Boxes of choco- 

 lates were handed to all ladies and chil- 

 dren. 



The sporting events, twenty-six in 

 number, were all keenly contested. The 

 baseball games in the morning created 

 lots of excitement, particularly the one 

 between the married and single ladies, 

 which was nip and tuck to the end, the 

 maidens finally winning 13 to 12. For 

 the single ladies, Misses Palmer, West- 

 wood, Coles, Cameron and Patterson 

 distinguished themselves, while on the 

 married side we were much impressed 

 by the play of Mrs. H. F. Woods, cap- 

 tain; Mrs. M. Brown, Mrs. Daniel 

 Whyte, Mrs. F. E. Palmer and Mrs. F. 

 Coles. The Private Gardeners under 

 Captain R. W. Curtis made short work 

 of the Commercials. They also won 

 the quoits match and tug of war with 

 comparative ease. The obstacle race, 

 with eighteen entries in three heats, 

 caused no end of amusement; also the 



so-called time race, in which nearly 200 

 entered. The fat men's race, as usual, 

 brought out a strong field, and the way 

 Frank Edgar, James Wheeler and Dan 

 Iliffe put on steam was a marvel.XMrs. 

 E. M. Gill, 82 years young, was ke^dy 

 interested in all the sporting eveius 

 and was given a warm welcome when 

 she distributed the prizes in the e'^e- 

 ning. President Pegler, Vice-president 

 Kennedy, Geo. W. Hamer, Herman H. 

 Bartsch, Robert Cameron, T. H. West- 

 wood, Eber Holmes, A. Christensen, P. 

 M. Miller and all others on the com- 

 mittees worked like Trojans and much 

 of the success of the day's outing was 

 due to their labors.
