THE PRINTERS ASSOCA TION,
SECOND ANNUAL pIc.HIo-A PERMANENT
ORGANIZATION EFFEcrEn.

uc plC.uiC VI luc Juuisilu ulitl !
Printers Association at Cresson, on
was in point Of numbers a
success, and while the arrangements
were in somc instances not rs complete
and satisfactory MS they might have
been, taken altogether, considering the
crush and jam at particular points, it
is to be doubted if anybody else IN the
several departments with which u
good many persons are inclined to find
fault could have done better. There
were ut the least calculation seven
hundred ladies, gentlemen and children
Of the legitimate excursionists, and this
number was swelled by the addition OF
many others who thought to get into
good company, and embraced the OPP
portunity to do so. Three hundred
people or more sat down to dinner at
the Mountain House, and II large num-
ber took supper. McPke's excursion
to Ebensburg was feature Of the day, |
and was very much enjoyed by all who
visited the town in the mountain tops. |
The magnificent scenery along the line
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, between
Altoona and Cresson, was source of
surprise and wonder TO many Of the
younger members OF the fraternity
who had never before gone over that
portion OF the road, and was OF itself
worth to them us much as any part of
the trip. The grounds about the hotel
at Cresson are 30 extensive that even
the huge party appeared small in them,
and were scattered over 80 much space
that it was difficult to get any consid-
erablo party together when wanted
for any particular purpose. As before
stated, while there was some iault-
finding, as would naturally be expected,
the great body OF the excursionists en-.
joyed themselves well and will long
remember the day as one of the most
pleasant in the history Of pic-nics and
excursions. The Altoona City Band
furnished excellent music during the
day, and accompanied the Ebensburg
excursionists.
1t had been agreed that a meeting
for business of the members Of the
Association should be held at | p. NJ,
but at that hour there was not suffi.
cient at hand to proceed with the reg
, ular order, and after the appointment
