Meet After Many Years.
Some of them had known each other
when they were just starting In" and
had not seen each other for years. These
got together and detailed "reminiscences
to their hearts content.
There were not many speakers, for
everybody wanted to get back to the
show. but A. b. Wallace, assistant n
eral freight agent of the Lackawanna,
was pressed to say something, so he
made an address very complimentary To
he city of Newark. He was followed
by w. T. Pratt, general Eastern freight
agent of the Wisconsin Central, and j.
H. Cross, special agent of the Pennsyl-
vania.
After these addresses were over
everybody took a 10Y ride; back to the
armory, where they stayed until the
closing hour.
Some of the men present hold execu-
tive positions and founo 1t extremely
difficult to attend the Newark show,
were just able to snatch a few hours or
days from their desks. but had to hustle
back into harness. 1t is a tribute to
Newark to have these men come so far
as some of them did to see the show.
