The excursion to Michigan City on Wednes-
day last was the largest ever gotten up In
western Michigan or northern Indiana. Ten
first-class passenger coaches and one baggage
car left Paw Paw and Lawton, and by the time
they reached Niles were 30 crowded as to re-
quire an additional one; and when they ar
rived at Michigan City there were fully one
thousand and eighty people on board. The
train was backed up to the picnic grounds
about one mile out OF the city on the track Of
the Peru, Michigan City Il Chicago railroad,
where the large concourse OF people spread
their tables. The grove is a very fine one for
that purpose, and easy OF access. After re-
naming there couple OF hours, the people
re-enteredthe cars and were taken to the prison,
that institution being visited by about one
thousand. They we're conducted through the
building for close confinement, and the manu-
featuring shops,-the paper and chair depart
ments being the principal ones.
After passing through the prison, the excur-
sionsts returned to the city and spent the re-
mainder OF the afternoon in lake excursions
on board a steamer, in viewing the town and
visiting the rail road shops. At half past sew
en- o'clock the excursionists started homewards,
and arrived at Paw Paw a little after one o'clock
in the morning. No accident or mishap OF
any kind happened to any one; it was mar
velo us success. Our limited time and space
