16 RAIN FAILS IN ENDEAVOR TO SPOIL PICNIC Grocers' Annual Affair Is; Voted "Best Yet" by Hun dreds of Guests "The Best Ever" is the way mem bers of the committee in charge of the tenth annual retail grocers' pic nic of Harrisburg, yesterday at Her- ! shey Park, expressed themselves. A crowd estimated at about 12,000 persons attended the big gather ing. Old Jupiter Pluvius tried his best to spoil the fun but didn't succeed until the early evening, after the athletic events had been held and the people were gathering for sup per. However, the rain also failed to put a crimp in the dancing, scores of the younger folks enjoyed this \ part of the day's program. Long before the first trains pull-1 ed out of the station yesterday! morning the people began to gather' from all points of the city and vicin ity. Shortly after 8 o'clock the first, of the three special trains left the terminal crowded to the platforms with jolly picnickers. The other two \ followed in quick succession. An other special left this city at 11 o'clock. In addition to the thousands taken to the park by train, hundreds went in automobiles and trolley cars. \ There was a big rush for the spe cial train when it pulled into the! station, at 7 o'clock. Another spe-! cial followed at 10 o'clock bringing the remainder home. Uplowncrs Win Ice Cream Soon after the arrival at the re- j sort the schedule of athletic events 1 was started. The baseball game be- j tween the Hill and uptown grocers | was first. The game was of only five innings duration, but neverthe- j less was full of thrills and sensa- j tions.
