 In ten automobiles the party went down Thursday. most of them at 0.5o and the others about noon. Alderman the rear at this latter hour with a. big box of cigars under his arm for -She better entertainment of the other 3s. Alderman Henry Gebrath also made an effort to personally conduct the tour. as far as he was able. which un- fortunately was not far, for he filled the places in the automobiles so ad- nirably and expeditiousiy that he had to wait over himself until the noon trip.
