RAILWAY PICNIC.

EXCURSION TO CAMBRIDGE. A SUCCESSFUL OUTING. SPLENDID SPORTS PROGRAMME. The Frankton Junction railway employees’ picnic, held on the Cambridge racecourse yesterday, proved a huge success. Favoured with ideal weather a crowded train left the Frankton station with its happy freight of picnickers. The engine was elaborately decorated, and was a tribute to those who went to such pains to make this a feature of the outing. A musical programme, provided by the Cambridge Band on the picnic ground, was much appreciated, and added considerably. to the enjoyment of the outing. That the 1930 fixture was an outstanding success was due solely to the efforts of an energetic committee. Following were the results of the •sports programme:— Novelty Items, find spondulics: Mr 11.
