     ABOUT five hundred persons attended the Collett-McKay reunion last Saturday, and while the number present was much smaller than on former occasions, still the ones who were there had an enjoyable time. The weather was perfect for such an affair, the dinner, as usual, was of the highest order, and altogether it was a splendid event. No speech-making is allowed at these reunions, but speeches were not needed to entertain the crowd and all thoroughly enjoyed the picnic.
