May-day was spent in an enjovah'ej manner by the First Ward Sunday i School at Graves' Gardens. The j children gathered at the First, Ward meetin ghouse at 1 1 o'clock and forming I into a procession headed by the Opera ; House Band, they marched out to the j gardens. Arriving there the first i thing indulged in was a hearty dinner which was enjoyed by ail. The pavi-1 lion was next the scene of recreation, j the children enjoying themselves ; hugely in dancing. Packages of can iy j and nuts were next distributed among ' the chil 'ren. The races were verv .- i citing and the priz s were all useful. The day was spen" in dancing, gainvs, ; swinging, etc. Much credit is due to ! tin' teachers and also to the Bishopric j :, for their energy in giving the Sunday s i schuid such a treat as they hail y ester- f day. |
