Mr. Robert Spofford of Port Arthur THE 25th AT KIMBERLEY C. 0. F. Hold a Monster Picnicâ€" List of Events. Monday, May the 25th was • great day at Kimherley. The C. 0. F. ot that phce' held a monster picnic oh the farm rf Mr. G. H. Walter, by the side of the Beaver . river. A large crowd gathered from alt pomis of the compass to enjoy the sports, (financially the picnic was a sui?cess, providing a nice little nest egg for a fund to build a home for the Court, some time in the fui.uru. One drawback to the enjoyment of the affair was the intense heat, the sun beating down, unobscursd by clouds, all afternoon ; and shade was not to be found in the vicinity of the sports. Supper was provided by the good women of Kimherley, and was served oo the lawu in front of the hoase Music Was supplied by the Flesberton Citizens' Band, during the evening ; and later ud they gave an impromptu Scotch concert in the village. The first of the sporU was • foot ball match between the Kimherley and Heathcote school teams. The little chaps worked hard and played very well, but Kimt)erley seemed lu know how, sod the score stood 2-0 in favor of the hooia team. Then came the event of the day in a closely contested and lengthy basebnll match bf iween Redwmg and Flesberton tnsros. The Redwing team was champion of their district and the Flesb- erton team was mopped all around last year. On Monday the teamsplayed well, and at th« end of the seven innii.gs had the game tied at 9 runs. During the next inning, which was being played to' break the tie, the Redwing boys Dunked, and would not finish it, so Fle.sherton had the game at 9-12 runs. A feature of this match was the catching of two "Sits" by little Fred Sullivan who was playing' «s centre fielddr. Ue had to run furl them, but won cheers from all by beiuit J .Johiinyon-the-spot every time There was a great deil of " chewing " done by thespectatois and tho Kedwiog tram, whicli retarded the game unnecessarily. Tho general opinion about tho umpire seemed to be that he knew almost as little about the j'>b as it was possible to know. During the erening junior teams from â-  Fleshortou and Kimherley played a football match, reaultiug in a tie. Score -1-1. Among the interesting features of the day were the races In the b-^ys racr, under 12, Robt. Wiloy won first, and Stanley Wallace, second. A very inter- esting r.tce indued was the old men's race. This excitins; event was won by Mr. John Martin, who whs closely pursued by Mr Wm. Carr of Dun:»in. In the girls' race, under 12, the winners were Addie Oaudiii and Hboiia Davis ; and in the free to all Adiiie Gaudin and Maud Plowis were the winners.
