A merry party of young people, popu-
1arly known as the "Oxford crowd"
started out to Vinewood last evening
with light hearts and high hopes of an
evenings pleasure. Arrived at the park
they enjoyed an unusually pleasant
evening dancing and at the usual hour,
about 10 o'clock, started home with the
expectation, no doubt, of getting at least
half their usual share of the comfort
impaired by natures sweet restorer.
But alas for the high hopes of youth.
The crowd was one which filled one
car and overfowed into another, and as
the small engine tried TO climb the hill,
it was found after few Intellectual puffs
that the attempt was hopeless.
The young men got out and pushed
valiautly, but it was no use, and the en-
CINE came to town for sand, while the
young folks plodded through the mud
to Highland Park school house where
party of amateur entertainers were
also waiting for the car to go cityward.
Here they entertained themselves and
each other by giving an impromptu
minstrel show.
About 4:3O a. m. the engine returned,
and very tired and Disguised lot of
! young people climbed aboard and ar
rived in the city without further mishap,
! to the great relief of numerous anxious
| mammas.
The young gentlemen nearly all got
very wet from the rain but managed to
! gallantly mass the young ladies near the
centre of the car and protect them.
About six couples who drove out es-
capped the annoyance and the jolIity as
we'll of the harmless disaster.
