Fr Goldrick's Big Picnic

FR, GOLDRICK'S

                       BIG PICNIC

  Rev. Fr. Goldrick's annual picnic held at Mead 's grove in Ann Arbor township Monday well attended, and proved to be a very enjoyable affair. The grove is a good place to hold picnics and a good class of people gath-ered at this one and a happy lot they were too. Attorney Griffin, of Toledo, presiding over the speaking exercises, and excellent speeches replete wlth witty or humerous stories were made by M. J. Cavanaugh, W. W. Weede-meyer, Rev. Fr. Kennedy and Rev. L. P. Goldrick. Rev. Mr. Goldrick dwelt especially upon good fellowship. The colored men's jubilee quartet sang a number of songs which pleased the people. There was dancing and gettar shooting and more than all there was the dinner, the big hearty wholesome dinner, where 50 cents worth of food was sold tor 25 cents. The main part of picnic is the visiting, and they were a congenial set of people visiting yes-terday. Everybody had a good time and that is what picnics are for.

  Miss Francis Caspary sang so sweetly that she was vociferonsly recalled. The receipts of the picnic were $300. The only thing that was at all disappointing about the picnic was the rather small number of Ann Arbor people present, the Northfield church having given up its Whitmore Lake picnic for the benefit of the new St. Thomas church. However those Ann Arborites who were present had such royal good time that they will attend next year.
