The Collett-McKay picnic, which is now a regular thing and one to be enjoyed by all, was held at the regular place on Saturday, the 15th. The morning seemed to forenhadow a rainy day. Notwithstanding this the usual number convened at an early hour, and dinner
being arranged, all present enjoyed a repast, which to be appreciated must be partaken of. At least we speak for ourselves when we nay we never partook of a more beautifully supplied table. There were persons present from adjoining counties and several from places more remote. Every one enjoyed a good time.
