most enjoyable trip. They found the ride
one of the most delightful taken this sea-
son. They arrived there at 1890 O'Clock
and Mrs Hammill had wild turkey and
roasted chickens waiting for them, besides
many more toothsome things. The milk
furnished was the best the boys had ever
found on their trips After dinner the
riders went up to the falls distance of
one mile. and the club photographer, Mr..
Louis r. Smith. caught the boys in three or
four different positions, each trying to look
his best. The trip was started homeward
soon after. A spill over a switch happened
on this trip. and 1t was suggested that a
snap at the group would please some Of the
Toys who were not along, and accordingly
Mr. Smith got to work again. Mr. John
Walker Sot a trif1e strong on the way out
and merely showed one of his crank hang
ers OF. AS consequence, he was COM
PEELED to start home without completing
the trip. Messrs. Rawlings, Terry Smith
Wright and Lieut.. Potts finished the trip
Mr.. Wright also showed his crank off just
