Last Half Of the st. Paul
Street Railway En-
PloyeS
HAVE THEIR BIG OUTING.
Wildwood Made to Ring With
Merry-Makers Of the
City.
THOSE WHO WON PRIZES.
Creased Pig Played the Star
Role in the Fun
Making.

The second division Of the trainmen
In the employ of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, together with their
families and friends, spent quite as de-
lightful day at Wildwood yesterday
as the first contingent did on Tuesday.
1t was the Rice street mems day and
they won nearly everything in prizes
that was TO be had. Committeeman E.
f. Edwards and E. j. Luethgc were
kept busy all day long, and it
is to their efforts that the sue
cess of the two picnics is due
in large measme. The balloon ascen-
sion did not take place yesterday. as the
balloon met with an accident. While
preparing for the ascension, it took fire,
and about $50 worth of damage was
done. The creased pig contest fur
nished the crowd with more amusement
than anything else that was on yester-
days programme. The porker was
handled rather roughly by very eager
crowd, and it is doubtful whether any
of j. j. O'Leary's porker, which he was
kind enough to loan, would have been
left, had not Mr.. Edwards come TO the
rescue.
Supt. Smith, of the st. Paul division,
was on the grounds again Yesterday, and
made Il few remarks to his men. As
siStant Superintendent Bradley also
came out during the afternoon and lent
his aid to giving the merrvmakers q
good time. After Mr.. Smith had talked
TO his employees, the orchestra struck up
"Hail 10 the Chief" which it played
with guSto.

On the whole the two first picnics of
the trainmen of the st. Paul division
were complete success IN every par
ticular, and the picnickers expressed
their appreciation of the way In which
they were taken care of by the manage
ment at Wildwood, and by the st. Paul
& White Bear Railway company. Every
thing that could be done TO add to the
pleasure of the crowd in any way was at
tended to by both the manager and his
assistants, and 1t is not likely that those
who went out OH either day will very
soon forget the pleasures enjoyed al
