    2. Barb Ontario Canada
    3. PIC-NIC AT MELMERBY. This annual pic-nic was held on Saturday last. The weather being fine, a large number turned out for a half day’s enjoyment. About three o’clock a procession was formed, and headed by the Garrigill band, paraded the village, after which the company adjourned to a field, kindly lent for the occasion by MR. ELLWOOD. Dancing commenced and was carried on with great spirit until five o’clock, when ample justice was done to an excellent tea, presided over by young ladies of the village. Games were indulged in for some time, after which dancing was resumed and carried on until eleven o’clock, when the procession was reformed and the company marched back to the village, where “God save the Queen” and three cheers for “Success to the Melmerby Pic-nic” brought the entertainment to a close.
