Hi All,
Note the surname GRESELLE or GRESILLE in the "Young men's fortunes race", it's spelt both ways in the paper.
I hope you find something for your family history, I did.
Cheers,
Daryl

SUCCESSFUL PICNIC
MOREA and OZENKADNOOK
The above picnic, which is held year about at Ozenkadnook and Morea, was held at the later place on New Year's Day, and was a success from every point of view. The gathering was large and representative. The committee appreciated the generous monetary and other support given by the public, and the generosity of Mr. J. STEHN for the use of his paddock, which is splendidly suited for the purposes of this picnic. There was a large and choice supply of viands, "fit for the Governor," as our correspondent puts it. The happy spirit which pervaded the whole gathering was most gratifying to those who had undertaken the responsibilities of management. Messrs.. A. SCHINCKEL and L.M. BULL are to be congratulated and thanked for the success of the secretarial arrangements. There are few picnics in Victoria into which such unanimity and whole-heartedness are observable as the one under notice. No less than 31 events were got off, which indicates the amount of work which the officers!
accomplished.
