Mr. C. W. Horrell’s employees had an outing on Saturday last, when about 100 proceeded in brakes to Bedford, via Bletsoe and Milton Ernest. On the outward journey a brief stop was made at the latter place for refreshments, the journey then being resumed, and Bedford being reached at 2.30p.m. The party divided, some enjoying the pleasures of boating and others visiting the parks and various places of amusement and interest. The return journey was commenced about 10.30p.m., Rushden being reached about 2a.m. after a very pleasant day.

Brakes were supplied by Mr. A. Abbott, and the party numbering 70, had a very pleasant drive via Souldrop and Sharnbrook to Felmersham, where tea was partaken of. A visit was paid to the interesting old church, the Vicar of Felmersham kindly explaining the noteworthy points and giving facilities for an ascent to the top of the tower, from which a charming view is obtainable. On the way home a visit was, by kind permission of Mr. A. E. Bowen, J.P., paid to the delightful park and gardens at Colworth, Mr. Hoad, the head-gardener, conducting the visitors through the greenhouses and grounds. Rushden was reached at about 9.30, after a most pleasurable outing.
