AT UN Despite the fact that the Ogden Retail Re-tail Merchants association was alono ths year in the staging of the merchants' mer-chants' annual outing yesterday afternoon after-noon at Lagoon, while in past years the outing has been a state association associa-tion affair, the attendance was nearly-as large as that of past events. Three thousand eight hundred and thirty-one tickets were sold at tho Ogden ticket office of the Bamberger railroad during the day and tho number num-ber of people that went to the resort from Salt Lake City and the near county towns on tho lntemrban trains and in automobiles easily reached a total of at least 1200 more. These figures, together with the fact that the program was carried out In every ev-ery detail as planned, according to Gomer Nicholas and Fred Williams of the committee, mado the outing ono of tho moat successful ever held. The first event on the program was the awarding of the prize, 6no hundred hun-dred pounds of high patent flour, put up for tho largest family on the grounds. This was won by tho family fam-ily of Henry DeHaan, which totaled eleven members. A number of racing rac-ing contests for tho girls and boy rormea tne secouu jmiu ui mo iu gram. Tho running races were wor by Eva Dalton and Joseph Tite and the swimming races by Anna Mur phy and Bruce Hamilton. At 2 p. m., the bowling contest "be tween the butchers and grocers was staged, under the direction of A. P. A. Morrissey. This event was won by the butchers, the score being 2572 tc 2413. The ''crack" bowlers who coni' posed the teams, and the scores thej made are as follows: Butchers A, Coop, 594; Sawyer, 411; Schwartz, 382; Johnston, 501; B. Coop, 684. Gro cers Nicholas, 405; Carver, 433; Wilcox, Wil-cox, 618; James, 406; Hudson, 551. This contest preceded a 45-minute concert by tho Sylvan Park band, which proved one of the finest and most enjoyed treats of the day. At the conclusion of the band concert, con-cert, "Joe" Bingham, the grocers' association as-sociation baseball magnate, with a "This way, Ladies and Gentleman" hiked for the baseball grounds, preceded pre-ceded by the Wholesale and Retail grocers' baseball team and fololwed by a goodly portion of the crowd. The ball game was started at 3:30. o'clock with Osborne and Coop as umpires and the following "big leaguers" in the lineups: Wholesalers Retailers B. Shupe c Ebling A. Mortensen p Murphy Stephens lb Fuller Van. Dyke 2b Seager Thomas 3b Lloyd Hill ss Mumford Stone If Bramwell Reardon cf Tite Furniss rf Payne The finish of this affair found victory vic-tory perched on the banner of the retailers, the score being 11 to 10. The contest, however, was not a peaceful one and the two "umps" formed the center of several warm arguments, with the players, mainly the wholesalers, as well as being "panned" by the fans. Both pitchers, as the score indicates, indi-cates, pitched "wonderful" ball and the fielders covered the ground well and touched the ball occasionally The heavy work, but not all of the "knocking" was done with the stick. Be that as it may, the ball game gave everyone a good appetite and a strong desire to get in on the "corn roast" and the appetizing odor from the thousands of roasting ears dretf the people from the ball park about 515 o'clock, to the inclosure from which the corn was to be served. The "corn roast," as was anticipated, antici-pated, proved the feature "do luxe" of the program and for nearly two hours the' hundreds of hungry pleasure pleas-ure seekers filed past the service tables ta-bles and were furnished with corn by the committeemen. This event was in charge of Frpd Williams, who secured A. W. Wishart of Salt Lake City to superintend the roasting of the corn and the following local grocers gro-cers to serve it: D. G. Pickett, D. M. Shaw, Earl D. Sharar, J. T. Sandiford, C. T. Sharar, Roy L. Corey, C. Boyle, H. A. West, T. A. Newman, C. E. Fisher, George Sawyer, R. T. Petty, J. Tlllotson and William Shaw. The serving of the corn marked the opening of the dinner period, which lasted until the hnnger of all was satisfied. At 7:30 o'clock, tho dancing in the pavilion began and this entertainment was indulged in until 11 o'clock, with the Sylvan Park band and the Mollerup band furnishing furnish-ing a continuous program of music.
