No Walk, No Rain, No. Flat-ears for
the Picnieers.
There has been an idea prevalent
that the people who go on the trip
to Mohawk Valley will be compelled
to ride in open fiat cars. This is not
q fact; the people will travel in coach
es, and enough are to be provided 50
that all will travel in comfort There
will be no walking to do AS the train
will stop on the grounds and the peg
pie who wish to walk into the woods
surrounding will have q chance, pro-
viding they SO wish. Another thing.
There is very little likelihood Of q
storm, as the weather service antici-
pates no such condition.
The trip is to be made for pleasure.
Everyone who joins the merry makers
should go with the idea and intent #
having day of pleasure and not
work. e2..z
Lunches will have to be taken. as
there are no eating houses at the point
where the visitors are expected %

have all the coaches that are neces
sary for the comfort of the travellers

the trip after leaving Reno is a LONG
