The Marion Club presented very fine
appearance yesterday morning when it left
here. There were fifty members who
turned out for the trip and this was con-
sidered a large number to leave their
business on Saturday to spend the entire
day. The men lined up in front of their
clubhouse and marched to the music of
the When Band to the depot. Not the
least in Importance, if in size, the
clubs new mascot. The mascot is little
Charlie Craig, of Is Indiana avenue. He is
nine years of age and wears the regula-
ton uniform. He attracted more attention
than the club both here and in Seymour
He marched like old trooper, and is
a general favorite with the club members.
The yellow color bearers were an attractive
feature of the trip. These are two colored
boys dressed in bright yellow suits. Their
blouses and knickerbockers are of canary
yellow, and their leggins are of lemon yell
low trimmed in canary. Each carried a
large American flag and then followed the
regular color bearer of the club.
