p. m. IS s
Immediately after the Convention ad
| journed Tuesday afternoon, the delegates
/ divided themselves up into brigades AND
disposed themselves among the several
car lines leading to the Fair Grounds
| The Pine street. and Franklin avenue
Illness under the = direction of Messrs
| ScuIlfn and Walsh, respectively had long
| lines of decorated cars in waiting, and
after they had been filled up the process
| sions moved out, making quite a -sensa'
ton in the districts through which they
| passed. Each car had a subcommittee
on reception, who looked after the wants
| of the guests. Transportation, admis'
| sion to the grounds and refreshments
while there were free to all Of the visitors,
| and when to these conditions was added
| the grateful, cooling breeZes that penetrat-
| ed every nook of the shady grounds, the
guests were made to realize that there
| is no place like St. Louis for holding
State Conventions. s'xAS trotting race,
| games of various kinds, and one OF the
/ most beautiful pyrotechnic displays ever
| given in St. Louis, proved that the Com
| mfttee on Entertainment had done Its
work well. A lawn party organized BY
Mrs. Chas. Green in aid of the Sisters1
Hospital was in progress upon tho
grounds and no lawn party of such
modest proportions ever prospered aa
that did, which is another proof that Mr.
Chas. Green has not the only great head
in his family. 1t was midnight before
| many of the delegates reached their lodg-
ings, weary but well pleased.
After final adjournment Wednesday the
delegates were taken in charge by
| the Citizens Committee and driven
about the city to various places OF
interest, including Shaw's Garden and
the Anheuser-Busch and Lemp's brew
cries, where they were, hospitality enter
tanned. Those who did NOT participate
I'm the drive were treated to an exhibition
of-the workings of the Fire and Police
