The trip was planned by Mr. Kennedy as a fitting close to the county Institute which had been in successful operation for the two weeks past. Upon arriving at the farm the party found Mr. Betts, the gentleman in charge had anticipated the raid and had a dozen large watermellons in soak, whereupon the wielders of the birch laid aside their coats and exhibited their southern instincts by neer leaving a rind. Mr. Kennedy had brought a long a supply of lemons and sugar and after adding acqua pura quenched their thirst to “the Queens taste, from which the only noticable effect was a remark by one of the boy s coming home that the moon looked to him to be at least fifty feet in diameter. The hospitality of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Betts and his mother was voted supreme by all and the evenings enj yment and entertain ment was greatly appreciated.
