For THE BUSINESS MEN’s PrcNic.—If
enthusiasm counts for anything and even a
part of what was manifest at last Thursday
evening’s meeting of the executive commit-
tee of the Centre-Clinton counties Business
Men’s Picnic association can be infused into
the business men of the two counties, then
the picnic which will be held on the 22nd
should be at least as big as any Similar
gathering held at Hecia park.
't'he Clinton county delegation came up
over the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
at 5:10 o'clock Thursday evening, and re-
paired at once to the Bush house where
they were met by the Centre county mem-
bers of the committee. Little time was
lost in getting down to business and when
the hour for the meeting arrived the com-
mittee was called to order by the president,
P. P. Rittman, of Lock Haven. Secretary
J. C. Meyer called the roll.
The first of the committees to report was
that on finance, the chairman of which said
that they had decided toset apart the fol-
lowing sums for amusements and entertain-
ments : Printing, $50; music, two bands
and orchestra, $90; clay pigeon shooting
match, inter-county, $35; fireworks, $75;
amusements, $150; ball game $200, and
minor entertainments, $150, making a total
of $750 as against a sum of $490 appropri-
ated last year.
Sidney Krumrine,chairman of the amuse-
ment committee, stated that they had en-
deavored to secure two teams of the Tri-
State league to play a game of ball but
were unable to do so; but that they had
arranged for a game between the Sunbury
and M¢. Carmel teams of the Susquehanna
league. They were instructed to close the
contract. Owing to the fact that a number
of State players are with Sunbury this
game should be a good drawing card.
In addition to the ball game the com-
mittee bave arranged for a ‘‘tug of war,”
‘‘clay pigeon shoot,”’ and ‘‘diving contest.’
The tug of war is to be between a team of
six men of Clinton county selected by G.
W.A. MacDonald, Democratic county chair-
man, and a team from Centre county to be
chosen by Phil D. Foster, Republican counn-
ty chairman. This ought to prove a very
amusing feature. The clay pigeon shoot
ton county, and Hard P. Harris, of Centre
county. The diving contest will be a new
and novel diversion. Two boats will be
rowed out into the middle of the lake.
There will be several boys in each boat.
Five dollars in halves and quarters will be
thrown to the bottom of the lake and the |’
boys will dive for the money. In the even-
ing there will be a big display of fireworks
under the direction of John D. Sourbeck.
The music committee reported that they
bad engaged the Lockport and Coleville
bands, ard the Germania orchestra, for the
day. All the committees are quite active
and working hard for She success of the
pienie.
When the business of the evening had
been completed Mr. Frank Warfield, of the
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, invited
the members of the committee present to
the dining room, where proprietor W. L.
Daggett had prepared for his guests, a
dinner the like of which the Business Men's
Picnic association members have never
bad exceeded. The effect on the parsy as
it entered the room was most charming.
Everything was in darkness except for the
low lights of the rose-shaded candelabra
that served to heighten the contrast of
the green of the floral decorations lying
on the immaculate linen. In the centre
of the great table at which covers for
forty had been laid there was a gorgeous
| hydrangea, a mass of bloom, and from its
base: trailed out to smaller mounds of
flowers at either end most delicate stream-
‘ers of maiden bair fern. Altogether the
soene was one perfectly entrancing and the
splendid menu_that was served in such
perfect unison by the corps of Bush house
‘waitresses put a fitting climax to an enter-
tainment as artistically conceived and car-
{ ried out as it was unexpeoted. At the con-
‘eclosion of the repast and as the diners
| arose to leave the hall Mr. MacDonald, of
] Lock Haven, moved a vote ofjthanks to Mr.
| ‘Warfield for his lavish hospitality. It

——Jobn Rankin, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. B. Rankin, was in Altoona last Sunday
to visit his brother Walter returning, Mon-

him to the Bellefonte hospital for a slight
operation, which was performed the same
day by Dr. Vischer. He is getting along
very nicely now.
——Vhhile playing with matohes, on
Sunday, Fred Love, the four-year-old son
of overseer of the poor John Love, accident-
ally set fire to his clothing. The lad was
in the kitchen at the time and when he
discovered his clothing burning he ran out
in the yard, endeavoring to smother the
flames with his hands. His cries brought
the venerable William Rees to his aid who
quickly extinguished the flames though
not before the boy’s hands and breast were
badly burned. Fortunately he didn’t inhale
the flame so that his injuries, though seri-
ous, ‘are not regarded fatal.
—— A ——
——A little before nine o’clock Tuesday
morning upwards of one hundred men and
boys witnessed a very exciting eel chase in
Spring creek, opposite the WATCHMAN
office, in which J. Cal. Burrows, the tele-
phone lineman was the chaser. The eel
was discovered in the creek below the falls
and equipping himeelf with gum boots and
a pitchfork: Burrows jumped out of the
Palace livery stable into the creek and
started for the eel. Then began a race
down the creek with the eel getting the
best of it until right opposite the window
of this office he was tempted to hide under
some moss and a bigstone and that was his
undolng. Burrows threw aside the moss
and overturned the stone disclosing a few
inches of the eel which he pinned to earth
with his pitchfork until he got a good sure
hold with both hands. When brought to
shore the eel measured a little over two feet
in length.

THAT PRUNER ORPHANAGE FUND.—AS#
Monday night’s meeting of Tyrone borough
council Frank M. Waring reported that he
is now chargeable, as agent for the proper-
ties devised by E. J. Pruner for the home
for friendless childrem, with the following
‘sums: Cash in name of R. G. H. Hayes,
agent, $1,897.71; in the name of F. M.
Waring, agent, $755,69; rents due to Aug-
ust 1, $373.77; total $2,319.17. He repor-
.ed farther that repairs had: been made to
the properties as needed and that they are
now-in good condition. But be did not re-
port that there was now due out of this
fund about $1,500 collateral inheritance
tax and ahount $400 wounld have to be paid
soon for the property’s share of paving the
street in front of the Hoover block, which
would leave a very small balance for Hig
een month’s accumulation.
WORK ON THEY. M. C. A. RESUMED.
—At a well attended meeting of the trustees
and board of directors of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, last Thursday even-
ing, plans were consummated by which it
was possible for Mr. Gault, the contractor,
to resume work Monday morning, with
everything in shape that thenew building
will be completed and ready for occupancy
within ninety days. Mr. J. B. Carrothers,
of Harrishurg, one of the State field secre-
taries, has been in Bellefonte since last
Friday conferring with the local officers of
the association and lending his aid in fur-
thering the plans for the completion of the
building. In this connection it might be
stated that all those who have subscribed
to the Y. M. C. A. building fund and bave
not paid their sahscriptions in full ‘should |
prepare to do so, as they will be’ ‘called’
upon in the next few days.

MoRE NEW FEATURES FOR THE FAIR.—
The fact that the directors of the Centre
County Fair association have thus early be-
gun preparations for their annual exposition
on October 3-4-5-6th next is evidence that
when the fall days come and the harvests
are o’er something bigger and better than
ever will be presented to the public. Two
weeks ago we announced the establishment
of a new feature in the township competi-
tive exhibits, which, of itself, it carried out
along the plans proposed will make one of
the moss exhaustive and interesting exhib-
its ever made in the county, but it will be
only one of three new and novel features
for the great fair. The other two will be
equally entertaining if not as instructive.
One of them will be
A COUNTY RACE.
It has long been the desire of the direc-
tors to bring together the good driving or
road horses of which the county boasts so
many,and looking to that end it has been
finally arranged to have a County race,
open for all horses in the county outside of
Bellefonte and Philipsburg, that have never
been raced on a track. No entrance fee
will be charged for this event and the
prizes offered will be a fine set of driving
harness, a handsome blanket and a whip.
No conditions other than that the horses
must be owned by their drivers and that
they have never been entered in a race for
money will be imposed.
- Already a number of gentlemen in the
county have signified their intention of en-
tering this contest and it is expected that it
will prove intensely interesting. It has not
been definitely decided on which day of the
fair it will be held, but those desiring to
enter should . write to Mr. D. G. Stewars,
the track secretary, Bellefonte, as early ae
possible.
The third event proposed will be a
COUNTY BAND CONTEST.
This will be one of the feature attractions
of the fair this year and will be open to
every band in the county, without entrance
fees. ;
In order that all bands will have a fair
chance at the large cash prizes to be offered,
they will be classified, according to their
standing; making two or three classes and
the same selection, suitable to the classes,
will be sent to each baud. For each class
the same cash prizes will be offered and it
is desired that the bands desiring to enter
will address George R. Meek, the secretary
in charge at once, for details of the plans
for the contest.
These three new events, in addition to
the usual attractions offered by the fair as-
sociation will undoubtedly make the forth-
coming exposition the greatest ever held in
the county.
Already the grounds are beginning to
show the result of the work that is being
put on them and by fair time you will be
surprised at their beanty. When the peo-
ple of Centre county come to realize what a
great institution for education and amuse-
ment the Centre county fair is destined to
be they will join in with the spirit of the
enterprise and help to make it the great
gala event of the year.
CLEAN UP SPRING CREEK.—While the
Street committee is so assiduously working
on High street the Water committee might
put in a couple days moss profitably in hav-
ing a force of men clean ous Spring creek
from the Bush house down to the Central
Railroad of Penna.depos. Never in thejmem
ory of the writer was it in a morefilthy and
worse-looking condition than now. Of course
the low water has something to do with
its unsightly state but a few men in a day
| or two could clean it out so that if would
‘look at least passably respectable. For sev-
eral hundred feet the bed of the stream is
now a litter of everything in the wood line
from a shingle toa saw log; from a broken
beer bottle to an old tin boiler; from rotten
‘oranges’ to decayed waSermelons, 2 while
several dead rodents were to be seen
launched against a piece of timber. The
condition of the stream is uot only an
: eyesore. of ‘the worst kind but is such
as to be a menace to the sanitary condition
of the town and for this reason, if no-
held at the home of Mrs. Sarah Williams,
the most delightful ever held. Some sixty
people were presentand the uestaof k bon";
of for the occasion were ‘the oi ‘grand-
children of that man of revolutionary fame,
Gen. Philip Benner, namely: Mrs. Hannah
Hamilton, aged 89 years; Thomas Waddle,
aged 86 years, and < Mrs. Sarab Williams,

trees and just groaning uoder the weight
of good things to eat. Naturally not a per-
