which were inscribed the sentiments Of the

particularly prolific of notices. The face of

with pamphlets advocating his election.

all points. on the watch for picispockets and
other criminals who are active on such
occasions.

mense throng of men, women and children.
Every workingman had his family out for
a picnic, and a yeritable picnic they had.
Over the face of Mother Earth tablecloths
were spread. and there, undstur by the
.fS'gct the troubles OF the age, and in the
communion of their families. ate, drank
and, were merry.
The air was filed with music Thirty
bands were in the parade and all were IN
the park
Professor Owen 1IiiIer's band had the
place of honor in the grand pavilion. After
everybody had finished lunching pro-
gramme OF athletic sports was given in
which the Interest was intense and conlpe-
tition lively.
In the evening the east end Of the payil
Ion was converted into a dance hall which
