FARMERS GATHERING.
thousands Of People Attend the
Annual Picnic Of the Pennsyl.
vania State Grange.

Never In the history of Willisms
Grove has there been such a vas
number OF people upon the grount
as have been there within the presen
week. An accurate estimate of the
exact number is impossible, but tC
state that fully $4,000 people had
visited the ground since the opening
DAY on Monday, would be within the
bounds OF truth. Col. Thomas, the
efficient manager of the picnic, makes
Its estimate, ana he has several ways
OF arriving at such a conclusion. The
Cumberland Valley railroad, which
has transported by rail all those who
attended In that manner, run daily
from hfteen to twenty trains, consist
ing OF from eight to twelve cars a
train, and by the excellent manage
ment OF Superintendent Boyd, who
mas oeen stationed on background the
whole week, not an accident has oc
CURED, or person taken the wrong
train. Such management as this with
such vast crowds of country people to
handle, people who seldom travel in
the cars, must be almost perfect. Be
sides the thousands of people borne
there by rail, every imaginable kind
OF vehicle was put into use, and for
distance Of many miles the farmers
came with their families. The coun-
