WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1859. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1802. DAILY ESTABLISHED 1877. THE FIRST PICNIC Season Opened by the Odd Fellow Lodges, The Beautiful Nelion Grove Receives Its Horning Parade. The picnic season opened auspiciously today.

In moat respects the weather le Ideal. To be sure, there la a crispness about the air that IB unusual at a real spring awakening, but our climate Is BO uniform that it pays but little heed to dates, and a spring day in the winter months la a common occurrence, while a bracing atmosphere is not infrequent on a summer day. However, as the day progresses, the air Is growing- balmier under the influence of the bright sunshine, and before It closes It may be warm enough to develop that etherlal laziness so es- to the perfect enjoyment of picnic. The picnic today is under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, In honor of eighty-third anniversary of the founding of the order in America. It is not only the first picnic of tie sea- is the flrst picnic to be held iu grove since it was leased and fitted up by the Hermann Sous.

The hour fixed for the formation of the parade was 10 o'clock, but there was a delay of nearly half an hour during which a great number of people congregated on the streets In the vicinity of Odd Fellows' hall. In the meantime the Woodland Military Band discoursed some excellent music. When the procession formed the line of march waa west on Main street to E)ra street countermarch to Third, countermarch to Elm, where the parade disbanded. The procession waa headed by the band. James Keith, of Knlglits Landing, officiated as grand marshal.

Next came the lodges In re- as follows: Sylvan Rebekah Lodge, No. IDS, and Woodland Rebekah Lodge, No. 249, each with a membership of about 30; Woodland Lodge, No. Ill, and Woodland Eu. cutnpment, No.

71, I O. O. the two Imviug about 76 members in line; Or- of the d'ay, N. A Hawkins, and wSam Montgomery In a carriage. Many citizens followed in carriages.

After i the procession disbanded all the avail. able vehicles were pressed Into service and. the big crowd of people headed for ground, which most of them reached about 11 o'clock. Nelson's grove Is an Ideal plcnli ground. It is shady, cool, clean and inviting, and easy of access.

Children may romp and play on the green grass without fear' of soiling their clothes and older people may spread their lunches on the velvet carpet beneath the umbrageous trees, with the assur ance that it can be kept as clean as It it were laid upon tables In their ow: dining-rooms. The dancing platform and other accommodations have al ready been fully described In these col muns. They are not' surpassed by those of any other picnic ground In the Sacramento valley. The scenes in the grove are anl mated and Interesting. Pair women vie with nature In beautifying and en livening the spectacle.

The Apr! showers of last week matured the May flowers of today and both the shower and the flowers are harbingers spring. But the gay hues of nature ar not brighter than the holiday attire fair women who are spring buds to day and will develop Into summer girl ater. If one may Judge from their right and cheerful appearance today Is to be a white summer, and the meet surprising thing developed by the scores of beautiful picnic costumes een today ia the many kinds of white. At the hour wt going to press the ilenic is In full swing. The big roWd at the grove Is constantly In- reasing.

Music, mirth, dancing and easting are the features of the enjoyment, and the festivities will no doubt ontlnue until the sun has sunk to rest the west. The Odd Fellows have reason to be proud of their celebration, and the flrst picnic of the season. The literary program did not begin until 1:80 o'clock, only few minutes before our publication hour, therefore late for us to obtain any particu- ars. Montgomery is the president of the dayi and N.

Tew EqutU a Hnptial Knot- Tier and Baptiier. The double courts of the Woodland tennis club are covered with players and visitors this afternoon, and present a lively and animated appearance. Much of its attractiveness is due to the presence of many ladles In bright and handsome spring costumes, who are out to witness the contests Hint are to take place. None of these contests will be decided before the "Democrat" goes to press. Indeed, at the hour when this Is written, the number and character of the contests have not been decided.

The great Interest manifested today Is due to the fact that three teams, representing the Napa tennis club, accompanied by several ladles, arrived on the noon train today, and are guests ot the Woodland club. The party con slsts of Mr. and Mrs. George Francis, Mr. and Mrs.

Wallace Rutherford, Misses Winifred and Virginia Dollarhide, Miss Boggs, Miss Hoyt, Frank Noyes, Voorhles, H. B. Whltton and L. E. Johnston.

The gentlemen of the party came over to try conclusions with our local tennis players, and the ladles cnme to witness the sport and encourage their friends. It is in the nature of a social meeting, arranged to bring about more cordial relations between the two clubs, and with a view of having Inter-county tournaments In the future. The program has not yet been definitely arranged, but It is probable that after the practice has been concluded this afternoon, the visitors will join a theater, party. Most of them expect to return to Napa Sunday morning. We are they cannot remain longer and beg to assure them that during their stay In Woodland there Is nothing too good for them.
