BAD WEATHER WAS NO BAR
A Big Crowd Goes on the Annual Board of
Trade Excursion.
DistinEuished Guests and Representa-
tive CitiHens Brave the Rain and
Visit Marshall Hall.

= at
Chief of the Weather Bureau Willis /.
Moore Is not very eligible sort OF man
to7invite to an outing. Hg was asked to
be the guest today Of Nr. Charles J. Befl
on the annual excursion of the board of
trade to Marshall Hail. and accepted with
many protestations of his Appreciation.
MIR. Bell naturally thought, after this. that
Mr.. Moore would enter into the spirit Of
the oc casion- and arrange the weather con-
ditions in strict congeniality with the ar
rangements for the event. The surprise Of
Mr.. Bell can be better imagined than de-
scribed, therefore, when Mr.. Moore sent
linn an official document this morning an
nouncing that 1t was going to rain and
rain hard before noon until night.
Mr.. Moore may have regarded this as a
huge joke, but ne was alone in such enjoy
ment If he really cherished it, because the
results were just what he had announced.
and about II o'clock the water drops began
to fall slowly at first, but soon in earnest,
and there was general regret among the
hundreds who had anticipated a day of
much pleasure and profit. Many were con-
sequently compelled to give up the outing,
but when the Manchester pulled out from
her wharf shortly before o'clock her
cabins were crowded. and her protected
decks massed with prominent men, repre-
sentative of the best in national and local
affairs.
