The annual picnic of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago was held at Ravinia Park on Saturday, August 27. The usual ball game between the odd and even classes was won this year by the odd numbers by a score of 16 to 14, after a wonderful rally in the sixth inning. "Peacham" Blanchard's fielding and base running were nothing short of miraculous. The lineup was as follows:

Umpires, Gardiner '76 and Hayt '78.
After the excitement of the game, a photograph of the entire party was taken by Mr. Gardiner, and all adjourned to an open air dinner under the trees on the lake shore. Many enjoyed the New York Symphony Orchestra under Walter Damrosch's direction, while others spent the evening in the cafe singing the old harmonies and telling stories of the good old days.
