Immediately after the parade those
who had purchased railway tickets
filled the train of six cars that was
standing on the sidetrack al the Rock
Island DEPOT and at exactly 11:30 a m.
started for the grove. which is situated
about two miles north and mile west
of the reform school. On arriving at
its destina ton the train was unloaded
and then returned to Topeka for an
other cargo. Those who went out on
the first train Immediately began look
ing around for the grove. They finally
found it. Markham's grove is similar
in many respects to other groves in the
vicinity of Topeka. It contains lib
eral sDrinkling of shade trees, a rip
ping brook winds in and out among
the meadows nearby. and altogether it
is place where one could have very
good time under more favorable condi-
lions than those which existed Monday
afternoon. There is plenty of water for
red lemonade. and the trees make it a
very desirable place.
The thousand people or more who
went out to the grove Monday after
noon were intent upon having a good
time. but the elements did not wish it
to be so. IN fact the elements did not
act right at any time during the day

preparation that had been made was

AN INCIDENT OF THE BALLGAME

Governor Bailey was succeeded on the
platform by S. ]. Kent, general organ
izer of the Carpenters and Joiners' of
America. Mr. Kent and his remarks
were well received by the crowd. He
had prepared lengthy speech. but like
the rest it was cut short on account OF
the threatening weather and he was
compelled to give only certain parts of
his original speech, After MIR. Kent
John Dawson, assistant attorney gener-
al of Kansas. spoke to the crowd for
about fifteen minutes and then John
Madden, of Emporia, held their atten-
ton for a few moments. The entire pro-
gram occupied about one hour.
All through the program it had been
threatening rain but it was not until
Mr.. Kent was well along with his adj
dress that the first drops fell. Several
times after that showers came up. but
they died down again and during the
intermissions the speakers finished their
addresses. In this way the program was
completed, but it was fifteen minutes
afterwards when the big rain came and
the theory that Kansas is a drouthy
state was again laid on the shelf. The
water came down in torrents and
drenched every one on the grounds.
The worst part of it was, though, that
the first train returning to the city
would not arrive until about seven
o'clock in the evening. There was no
telephone within mile and no way in
which the Rock Island authorities could
be reached and notified to send a train
out to the grove The only thing for
the picnickers to do was to brave the
weather and wait patiently and that is
what most of them did with the ex-
ception of a few walking delegates
who managed to screw up courage
enough to walk in to town. Finally,
however, the train came, and after a
wait of several hours in a soaking rain,
the picnickers were brought back to
their homes in Topeka. on the way
back many of them were heard to make
vows that thew would profit b. "
perience and never again II

Band Concert and Ball Game the
Attractions.


The Vinewood end of the celebration
of Labor day was not such a great sue
cess. Only a very small per cent of the
union people went there to spend the
afternoon. The BARRIERS union played
ball. the Bosses against the Journey
men," and beat their .hirelings by the
shocking score of 16 to 4. The Bosses
included a number of old time players,
among them E w. Hutchings and E. A.
Reddick and they "farmed" the jour-
neyrnen in great style. West, of the
Journeymen, played a good game, and
they claim that the absence of their
pitcher, Decker, is responsible for their
losing the game. Late in the afternoon
the rain drove the picnickers under
cover and the exodus from the park
began. Although it was clear and
pleasant night only a few people re-
manned, and the Passion Play" kin

ing the afternoon, and the dancing
On one of the late afternoon cars
coming into town a plain drunk mount

himself by bombarding people along the

of fun before he was finally chased Off
the car.
1t was reported that private beer
party was in progress in the south end
of the park during the afternoon, but
there was little evidence of it, the crowd
being very orderly.
