On account of the Lake County Woodmen picnic held at Diamond Lake the same day, the attendance was not as large as was expected. The program was well carried out, and the address by J.K. Orvis of Waukegan is deserving of special mention. The ball games between the Wauconda’s and Barrington attracted quite a large crows. Of course Wauconda won, the score being 22 to 5. The music furnished by the Barrington M.W.A. band was exceptionally good. The band gave a concert in the evening which was highly appreciated by all. The display of fire weks in the evening was fine and the grand dance, which concluded the program for the day, at Oakland hall, was well attended.
