will it be than any other in the history
of the state. Every incoming train
from morning till night brought crowds
of old soldiers and as they marched in
squads hither and thither through the
streets with their blankets under their
arms and over their shoulders they were
certainly interesting to look at. They all
came in happy and got happier as they
progressed farther into the heart of the
city for the cordial welcome and evidences
OF welcome they met with everywhere
stirred their hearts and made them feel at
home. Every visitor WAS loud in his praise
of the Peerless Princess, of its buildings,
streets, avenues, shade trees, industries
and above all the hospitality Of the people.

Wonderful was the magnitude of the

1t is estimated that fully 1000 persons
visited the park during the day while in
some cases the estimate was placed ut TO-
600. 1t is most probable that the latter
estimate is correct. The park contains
eighty acres or more and people were
scattered all over it. About ten acres
were absolutely covered by a mass of
humanity making it almost impossible for
one to edge his way from one place to
another. There are now do doubts as to

listening to the hoarse warbling of a stray

entirely impromptu and hence could not

glowing terms to the fine welcome given

more fitting words could be uttered TO

Behold the saints, beloved Of God,
Washed are their robes in Jesus blood
Brighter than angels 10! they shine,
Their glories splendid and sublime.
Through tribulation great they came;
They bore the cross and scorned the shame;
Now, in the Heavenly temple blest,
With God they dwell; on Him they rest
While everlasting ages roll,
Eternal love shall feast their soul,
And scenes of bliss, forever new,
Rise IN succession 10 their view.
