VISITORS WERE IN ARKAN- SAS CITY SATuR-
 DAY.
400 FROM PINE BLUFF.
They ThrOnged the Gunboat All Day ---NO Mishaps-A, 0. U. ".
 Picnic.

Saturday morning about 9:30 o'clock a train load of Little Rock. ians arrived in the city over the Iron Mountain road. The train consisted of eight cars, aud the ca pacity of eacn was greatly taxed. Four cars filled to their utmost with a jolly Pine Bluff delegation, were attached to the unusually long train. The moving structure with it's cheering mass of pleasure seek CTS departed for Arkansas City, where they were present at the grand reception given the gunboat Nashville aad her brave crew by the nospitable Arkansas Citians. Ex- cursions were also run from Monroe and Warren, together with several boat excursions from towns along the Mississippi.
 As a result Arkansas City was simply packed with a swelterlng mass of human beings throughout Saturday. The Nashville anchored near tke shore and the visitors boarded her, in fact they took pos session of her. They continually shook the hands of Capt. Maynard and Gunner Nallia, who fired the first shot, and as an eye witness ex- pressed if, "the crew was rejoieed when the excursionists departed for their respective homes.
 Fortunately no mishaps occurred to mar the pleasure on this #oeeea- sion. Everything was conducted in a peaceful manner.
 The Pine Bluff delegation return ed about 1 o'clock this morning. They all report most delightful time and speak in high praise of the spitality of the Arkansas Citians.

The Picnle.

The A. O. U. w. Lodges of this city and Little Rock are to be con- graduated upon the large crowd their basket picnic, which was given at Big Lake Saturday, br ought out, for the reason that the gunboat Nashville was a competitor for the crowds.
 Music, singing, cake walking, fishing, rowing and last but not least, dancing made up the days enjoyment. Over two thousand people came from Little Rock alone, while Pine Bluff sent one hundred and fifty.
 Everybody present enjoyed them selves to their hearts content and only one mishap occurred. That was the unfortunate occurrence of several young boys getting left at Big Lake. That was caused by the train leaving 8 few minutes previ- ous to the named time Their moth CTS were very uneasy about them until they telephored that they were witk a gentleman at Big Lake and would return Sunday morning.
