STRATFORD.
[All communications, letters, etc., left with Mr. J. Hopkins, bookseller, will receive prompt attention.] (From Our Own Correspondent.) Stratford, Yesterday, To-day there were many anxious juvenile eyes turned towards tlie sky in an endeavor to ascertain whether the weather would be propitious for Stratford's big picnic, which takes place tomorrow. In the morning th? heavy rain caused considerable gloom, which lightened up in the afternoon as the weather brightened. By five o'clock Mr. Martin had disposed of every ticket, and applicants were still clamoring for more, so that, rain or fine, there is certain to be a large attendance at the picnic. The Railway Department has in readiness a siring of carriages—many of them the up-to-date canvas-topped Pullmans—to convey the happy throng for their day at the seaside. Stratford is practically ceasing business for its great annual holiday. It is to be hoped that the weather will prove kind.
