Cycle Club Picnic at Wat son’s Natatorium Falls Short of Hopes
The Wat son’s Natatorium cycling reunion drew a small crowd and failed to stage the promised bicycle parade. Despite a pleasant day with dining by D B Williams, a blue rock contest and music by Cohn’s six-piece orchestra entertained few wheelmen. Over 70 rode the Stone Limited and a special train carried 100 plus passengers. The lakeside dancing platform hosted a children’s ball and evening dance, while a tennis contest drew spectators before a passing shower. The bill also included tub races and various games, but the main event did not meet expectations.
