Raleigh Pythian Band had been
engaged to furnish music, and as
the train steamed into the station
the excursionists were greeted with
lively strains of welcome music.
Headed by the band the school
marched up Dawson to Hillsboro
street, where Manager Huff had
congregated all of his cars. Ample
accommodation was given for all,
= and with the band playing and
! handkerchiefs waving the ride was
taken to Brookside Park.
The Park had been beautifully
decorated and seats prepared, ice
water provided by the Tabernacle
:. Sunday School and lemonade by
Edenton Street School of this city
j. awaited the visitors.

. Joy and beauty. Boat riding

:, gagged the young people while tn
:. older ones gave themselves to look

With Trinity Sunday School we
4 the pastor of the church, Rev. Nj,
y Beaman, Rev. Mr.. Johnston, {
ss Carr's Chapel; Rev. Mr.. Jenkins, {
Durham circuit; Capt. V. Ballard
"a Superintendent of Main Stree
n Methodist School; Rev. Mr.. Weldon
"a of the Christian Church, and othe,
of invited guests.
n Many of our people visited Brool
el side Park during the day, and col
tributed all in their power to max
~ the stay of our guests pleasant
o1 all.
e. In this connection we belie1
Raleigh affords as many places
% interest as excursionists will fin
ne anywhere, and that it wou]
p be hard to find a more delight,
lg place for picnic than Brooksid
% Park, with it's abundant shade, lars
H. pavilion, lake, etc.
The good order and perfect d
corum of our guests on yesterds
r was OF course expected, but we fe
- that the management of so large
h party deserves special praise.
