GROCERS’ OUTING WEDNESDAY
Many Features on Programme for Day at River View.
Baseball Game Arranged Between Woodland and Seneca Teams, Prizes for Bowling Contests.
Varied and many are the features contained in the programme of the Retail Grocers’ Protective Association upon the occasion of its fifth annual excursion to River View, Wednesday, June 26. The baseball game between the Woodland and Seneca teams will present to the fans an opportunity of voicing that exuberance of spirits so characteristic of devotees of the game. Interest is centered also in the bowling contest, for which three prizes of $15, $10, and $5 will be given by the association for the best scores. There will also be other contests for which prizes will be given. At the conclusion of the athletic games, Miss Cora B. SHREVE and her pupils will give an exhibition of fancy dancing, which will include many of the features presented at her May festival at the National Theater.
The tickets entitle the holder to a voice in the disposition of a handsome gold watchor diamond ring. Boats will leave at 10:30 a. m., 2:30 p. m., and 6:30 p. m. The officers of the Retail Grocers’ Protective Association are:
