Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Sept. 2S.-It is now a foregone
conclusion that Ames will be hostess TO
the largest crowd Of visitors next Fri
day and Saturday that 1t has ever been
her lot to entertain. The annual har-
vest home excursion this year to the
college extends over more than twice
as much territory as 1t has any pre-
vious time. In anticipation that the
attendance would be more than doub-
led the management of the institution
decided that the crowd could be hand
led great deal more satisfactorily by
extending the jubilee over two DAYS.
Thus by dividing up the crowds inc
terrible jams which occurred at the
college last year can be aVolded.
Friday, September 80, those in touch
with the Northwestern line Will be ac-
commodated no other road to run eX-
curslons until Saturday. That day all
other lines In the state will bring hum
dreds of visitors to spend a day at
Ames, inspecting and investigating
each and every department of the col
lege which will bid them thrice well
come. Very reasonable rates have
been made on every road, and 1t af-
fords the people Of the state an oppor-
tunity that should be taken advantage
Of.
A very entertaining program is be-
ing prepared for the occasion. which
will include speech by Governor
Cummins The laying Of the corner
stone OF the new central hall will oc-
cur at this time also. Special music
will be furnished by several brass
bands. On Friday afternoon football
game with Des Moines college will be
fought on the Ames gridiron, and on
Saturday afternoon, Ames and Coe
College, OF Cedar Rapids, will play.
These are the first two games of the
season.
There will be a complete exhibition
of livestock each day on the college
farm, and also a special exhibit of road
making machinery.
Special provisions are being made to
feed the crowds, and transportation
from the depot to the campus by hacks,
carriages, and the motor line can be
secured at a nominal cost.
The creamery building In process of
erection, will command much atten-
ton. Other departments of the college
