The Chairman of the Committee on
BIG BOTTOM PARK
submitted the following report:
The local grange held its annual picnic
in the park on
August 28th. They put the grounds in
good condition and re-
paired the pump. A part of their program
consisted of a pageant
of the "Massacre" at that
place in 1791. They built a block-
house at the upper end of the park next
to the river and roped
in a space for the pageant stand, the
crowds of people and the
cars. The picnic proved to be a success
in every way with the
exception of some annoyance due to a
local party without any
authority. The people who witnessed the
pageant state it was
the best of the kind they ever saw, and
have asked that it be
put on again. The crowd was the largest
since the dedication.
Work will soon begin on the state
highway that passes the
park. Provision should be made for the
care of the place when
the road is completed, as the traffic
will be greatly increased.

PUBLICATIONS
read the following report:
The OHIO
ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL QUARTERLY
has been issued this year for January
and April. The January
number is of unusual interest, because
of the very complete and
attractive report of Mr. H. C. Shetrone,
the Curator of Archae-
ology, on the exploration of the
"Hopewell Group of Prehistoric
Earthworks." The April number
includes a valuable contri-
bution on "Education in Territorial
Ohio," by W. Ross Dunn,
M. A., Cincinnati. Ohio. This monograph
in large measure fills
a gap in the educational history of
Ohio.
The July number of the QUARTERLY is in
press. It con-
tains a very full account of the
dedication of the Memorial Wing
