success. IL equalled-yes, exceeded
the expectations Of all who went. The
day was superb, seemingly e gotten up
for the occasion. The cars were not
overcrowded. and . close and watchful
supervision was kept over them to pre-
vent the possibility Of mishap. There
was not a sign Of hoodlumism; nor on
the other hand was needless restraint
exercised. By the time tho train left the
Mound House there were ten carloads
Of happy folks, large and small. Al

throughout the entire day. We hope
this, the largest gathering OF children
eyer seer in the State. may be only the
first OF many yet to follow in the coming
years.

power was called into r~equisition in
hauling Liberty engine up the steep
