One little boy was run into by one of the ball players and got quite a bump.
One lady fainted on account of the heat, but soon recovered and suffered no ill effects.
The first child born in this county was not decided and the affair is in the hands of a committee. It is thought that Miss Helen Barnes, daughter of Ellery Barnes, is the winner.
Some one, said to be from one of the neighboring towns, opened up a blind pig near the grounds.
The next picnic management will do well to take steps to see that the law is rigidly enforced. This is the one place where it ought to be said that a man can take his family and go home sober in the evening. Make it so hot for the sellers that it will not be wise for them to try it again. If a man is so hard up he has to get money this way, take up a collection and make him a present of a purse. Women and little children attend these picnics; let all future ones be sober ones. Don't think from this that it was a drunken crowd‑ far from it, only a few were intoxicated, and part of the few took their own supply with them, something the management can't prevent, but they can, the minute a man shows the least sign of drunkenness, have him fired off the grounds.
