ed an unusually pleasant day. They
assembled at the Schreiner park about
1000 a. m. About 60 children and 80
adults gathered around the tables at

ment. The goddess Of liberty was
twice thrown violently from her char
lot to the ground, but fortunately was
not hurt. There was one disappOint-
ment, however. The elephants failed
to appear because they had left their
trunks at home. Following this Glor-

his trained horse, and all enjoyed the
afternoon at games. ball playing, GRO
quet and watching the animals.
All were conveyed to their homes
by autos through the kindness of YES
perman brothers, Geo. Barrows, and
