which is fringed with Hettingel
county, arrived at 12:41 this after
noon and the moment the bright
faced, well attired passengers poured
out of the cars the jam of humanity
on the station grounds took on an

it did play.
The delegation was met by the
mounted squad and headed by the

were made welcome and given a seat
right next to the speaker and close to
the Mott band.
