At the Pennsylvanis Station.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp, Tramp! All day Sun
day the waiting rooms and corridors Of the
Pennsylvania station resounded with the foot
falls Of thousands Of incoming and outgoing
passengers. The great station was completely
filed with people awaiting the arrival Of COM
rades or the departure Of trains. From
time to time the scene was enlivened
with the music of brass bands
waiting to escort some large delegation to its
quarters. Busy officials in the natty uniform
OF the railroad company eibowed their way
through the vast throng, doing all that was
possible to keep passageway open for the
Travellers but the moment an opening was made
| the crowd surged back and il was only by dint
of hard pushing and vigorous swinging of bags
and parcels that the tourists we're able to force
through the crowd.
THE PARCEL ROOM.

off, to be used as package room. The posi-
ton OF the man who presides here is a most
unenviable one. All day long hundreds
| OF tourists are rushing in and out
| in steady stream, checking and re-
claiming bags and parcels. A grea,
| many people are leaving their baggage here
| during the encampment, as on the payment OF
ten cents day their baggage will be perfectly

sometimes and about every five minutes some
one calls to get something.
| The bureau Of information was kept busy

stantly propoundcd to the man in charge.
| number OF special officers were sta

keep the crowd from blocking the sidewalks
and entrances.
In the course Of the day seventy-two special
trains rushed into the great station, unloaded
their human freigh. and left rapidly to make
room for more cars. Post after post arrived
| from all quarters of the continent,
bringing crowds Of friends, each train
having at least three sections, and, considering
the number Of extras, coming in on very fair
time. The trains were of from thirteen to
twenty cars and each one packed to its full
capacity.
The fact that seventy-two special trims be.
sides the regular number came in without an
accident OF any kind speaks well for the man.
