coming down gently Tuesday after

an automobile service to convey the
passengers from one point to another

passengers would get somthing Of an
automobile ride during the evening.
But the automobiles did not bank
on the weather being so bad, and

had been promised 20 make up the
train service only two machines
appeared at the station at the city
ban at 5 O'Clock, these being the
machines of d. Il. Miller and S. e.
Morris. Two machines were. ex-
pected from Alexandria. but they
failed to arrive. Later in the even
inc, about $50 O'Clock the promoters
learning of the shortage of con-
vevances arranged to get several
buses and carriages which helped in
the conveyance of passengers. At
the start many walked from one
place to another In order to make up
for lost time. Many people on the
