Notes OF the Picnic.
The crowds will be here tomorrow.
Street illumination tonight.
The game between Rock Island and
Evansville will be one of the attrac-
tions tomorrow.
1t has been reported that Kewanee
, refused to come to the picnic on ac-
count of the fact that excursion rates
held only for one day.
The first K. n. A. team to arrive
was that of Camp No. so, of Sterling.
The levee, where the seats are be-
ing built for the accommodation of
those who witness the river carnival
and boat races, has very much the
appearance of a lumber yard. Ca
T., pacity for seating thousands is being
provided.
Citizens should be areful to avoid
sllo wing anything of value to lie
about in accessible places during the
picnic or they must not complain if
they suffer loss. the number of
doubtful characters about town who
have come to pick up what they are
able during the excitement OF the oc-
casion is large as the police are aware.
and although extra officers have been
sworn in and many business houses
have had private watchmen engaged
for the three days, more or less thiev-
ing is b)uud To occur.
1t is a bad time TO let the brownies
cut, Chief Darnell. For goodness
sake give them something to do in
doors The city's welfare demands
that they be kept cut of sight.
Owing to the fact that many mem
bers of the local camps could not
leave their employ ment for two days
in succession and that most of the
visitors will not be here till tomOr-
row. the parade was not as large as
it had been in former years. On this
account there is talk of an impromptu
procession tomor o..
The effect of Prof. Toenniges
trsiuing is being shown in a CRAFTY
ing degree in the playing of Bleuer's
band. Prof Toenniges not only puts
snap into the band that IS refreshing,
but he is liberal with his music. too
Rock Island has ust reason to be
proud of the band as at present di-
rected.
Tomorrow the tug of war will take
place at the No. hose house on
Seventeenth street. The chip race
will take plco on Nineteenth str eet be-
, tween Secor d and Third avenue.
The shoot Thursday afternoon will
taee place on the levee.
