LUDLAM Outside of Losing Iarge Piece of Skin From Chin, Victim of Attack Paes Ordeal Alive Over 3000 Spectators at Outing. There was only one accident at the Portland retail grocers' tenth annual pic nic at the Clackamas County fairgrounds at Canby yesterday, and it was &o humor ous that it made the hit of the afternoon. Joseph P. Ludlam, secretary of the W. B. Glafke Company, was trying to induce a goat to run a race with him by pull ing: it along: by its horns. After par tially dragging the animal several hund red yards down the racetrack until he was opposite the center of the grand stand, the goat snddenly decided to enter into the spirit of the picnic, butted Lud lam twice in quick succession, tangled his legs and threw him face foremost into the dust, and then continued the playful game with his adversary down. Friends Rush to Rescue. Friends on the track rushed to the res cue, pulled the goat off and helped Lud lam to his feet, while the spectators roared and loudly cheered for an encore. Ludlam refused to respond to the wish of the 3000 spectators. He suffered the loss of a piece of skin the size of a dollar from his chin when he fell, and while he dusted his clothes and wiped the blood away, he willingly allowed friends to lead the frolicsome goat off the track, and also enjoyed the laugh. Two special trains of 15 coaches each carried a crowd of more than 2000 to the picnic grounds. The streets and business houses of Canby were dec orated and a large reception commit tee, with the Canby band, was at the station to meet the grocers and their friends. Merchants of Canby also took a holiday, closing their houses when the special trains arrived and joining In the merry-making at the fair grounds. A number of farmers near Canby also took a day off and brought their families to the picnic Salesmen Win Game. The grandstand was packed to ree the ball game between the retail gro cers and the city salesmen. The sales men won the game of seven innings by a score of 4 to 3. The crowd was in a jubilant mood and when the teams set tled down to fast baseball it was clear ly disappointed, for the spectators wanted to see the ball hit oiten, home runs made and the score piled high. After lunch the progranfme of events began and there were things doing every minute until train time. Contest ants were assembled in rapid-fire order so that there were no long delays and the afternoon was one of solid amuse ment. All the events, especially those in which the women took part, were loudly applauded.
