gala days for the rising generation of
Bangor. Once a year the enterprising
y. Waterman Co.-clothiers-iss an
invitation to all the youngsters Of the
city and surrounding country between
the ages of six and 16 to take a car
ride to Riverside park and spend the
cay there as the guests of the COM
rany. The invitation is always re-
sponded to by every yOunGster who can
set the permission of his parents to do
SO aud. sad but true. by many others
who do not ask this permission. Every
youngster who asks for a ticket gets it
and if he doesn't have a good time it
must be his own fault. 1t required nine
Zig cars of the Bangor Railway &
Electric Co, to convey the crowd this
year, and it was estimated that there
were fully HOO boys in the party.
