large gatherings We're there on each day.
Saturday held the biggest crowd, when

could be desired until night came on.
when a cold wave down Warm Springs
canyon caused considerable suffering
among the children and ladies who came
without wraps.
The last train for Butte did not come
to take the picnickers home until mid
night, and by that time the cries of the
children We're pitiful. Some of the men
grew impatient at the delay of the train
and sufferings of their children, and tore
down enc and boards from other struc-
lures and made bonfires as a last resort
to keep the children from being chilled to
death. The cries of the little ones could
be heard above the orchestra, and the
protests of the men were not compliment
airy to whoever was to blame for keeping
them at the park in the cold two hours
beyond the schedule time for departing.
