The Plans for the Day
OF course each youngster must not
| forget to bring along his or her car
fare, and at the park Superintendent
Felix Davis of the Harrisburg Rail-
ways Company has arranged to have
a special ticket on sale for five cents
which will allow the bearer a ride on
the merry -go-round and figure eight
This arrangement was made at the
request of the Telegraph.
YOU young man, and YOU young
lady-tip off your mamma pretty
specifically to provide enough in your
need 'em.
The days program is to be a mighty
full one. FIR instance:
And Oh, Loving Cups!
Athletic contests for both boys and
girls for which silver cups and other
prizes will be awarded that will make
older brothers winnings at high school
and college meets seem a trifie ordi-
nary; a special and free vaudeville per-
formance at the park theater; a spell
ing bee-prizes for that. too-an all
day band concert; souvenirs, plenty of
EN-; baseball game between the
Lincoln and Forney building teams:
and then the speeches by little Miss
Sterrett and Governor Brumbaugh.
Miss Sterrett has been invited by the
Telegraph to meet Harrisburg's little
folks on this occasion. She's a regu-
lar mixer too, and in accepting the
invitation to attend, the young niece
iof Uncle Sam-who started the nation
wide move to build America a battle
ship WHAT is battleship from chill
dren's contributions-mad it pretty
plain that she wants to get into the
games like Il regular picnicker. So
look out fellows-and girls!
When the Governor Comes
Governor Brumbaugh has aanounc-
ed that he viii be at the park at 3.45
o'clock and then he'll give his talk.
A Carson Stamm, president of the
school board will present him to the
thousands of the Telegraphs younger
guests.
Nor will the program be entirely
finished with the picnic program. In
the evening Miss Sterrett will speak
at the two performances in the Males
tic. And THAT talk will be worth
hearing too.
Well, this is about all, so far as the
preliminaries are concerned. Some
5000 youngsters have already accept
ed the Telegraph's invitation through
their teachers; Grand Marshal Mercer
b. Tate says everthing's in readiness
so far as he's concerned; and it's only
up to the weather man now to be
good fellow and behave with to-
morrow's product of his shop.
Tomorrow will be the longest dav
in the year-for mere grownups, only
