MEN DEPART
See City Burial Grounds Be-
fore Being Delightfully."- En-
tertained While Here
SIXTY AUTOS CARRY
VISITORS THROUGH CITY

II ever guests were well entertained
the 200 visiting members Of the Ma
tional Cemetery Comlany and their
wives were in this city yesterday.
They were met at the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad station with automobiles
and were taken over the city and
through the cemeteries of Wilmington.
II required about sixty automobiles,
including the large funeral car Of the
LaWncroft Cemetery Company to
carry the visitors and their enter
tainers. The latter car was an inter-
estjng sight as it will carry about %
passengers besides a corpse.
Owing TO the train being late and
several accidents happening to the
automobiles in the procession. it was
about 2 o'clock when the visitors ar
rived at the Wilmington end Bfandy-
wine cemetery. This necessarily cut
the visit 10 this cemetery shorter than
IL otherwise would have been, but the
visitors had time to notice tnat Super
intendent Penrose was up-to-date in
modern management of the cemetery.
II was planned to have rhe visitors
received here by Albert W. Smith,
president of the Wilmington and
~ Hhha WAHt cemetery Company WHO
is "a years old, but he did not leave
the automobile I'm which he was riding
because of the procession being be-
hind its schedule He made up for
this admission by seating himself at
the entrance to Riverview cemetery
and greeting the visitors i'm a cordial
manner. At the latter cemetery Su-
perintendent Quigley was prepared to
entertain the throng. Four long ia
bles were spread under the trees and
there never was a luncheon in a
graveyard that was enjoyed like this.
Boiled meats of several kinds, pOta-
to salad, corn and lima 5eans,
pickles, olives, homemade biscuits
coffee and ice cream were served in
abundance by a corps Of young wo-
men. After the luncheon the cemetery
was inspected and much comment was
made upon the demonstration Oi
