When the call OF AL aboard rang
through the Dearborn Station Fri
day evening, May 3, at 9 2. NJ. the
stage was set for the greatest pleasure
trip ever undertaken by our race.
Before going into details, il is fit
ting that | should acquaint the read

OF. First, | found a 60-foot baggage
car fitted up for a refreshment room
and dance hall; next. one OF the finest
dining cars on the Monon; next, three
solid steel Pullman sleepers, one COM
partment car and an observation sleep
or that was III charge OF Carter Hayes
and his especially invited guests
truly the most complete special train
eyer leaving Chicago.
Before we had reached 03d street
the party was one OF hilarity and mer-
riment. Some adjourned to the bag
gage car. where the Watson Alec Iazz
Band held sway: others played cards,
while others chose the observation
end for sightseeing. In the wee small
hours everyone retired to their respec-
tive rooms.
Upon arriving at Louisville at $50
\. NJ, Saturday. we were met at the
depot by 5000 OF our Kentucky broth
ren to greet lis with open arms. In
TACT the Mayor had detailed a Gordon
.oi police to keep the crowds back. The
only disappointment we met here was
that the Community Center Band
tailed to meet us due to a misunder-
standing rs to the time OF our arrival.
according to DR. NJ. \. Blackburn.
However, We were escorted 10 Len
Haley's, where we spent the entire
forenoon before proceeding to the
track. shall not describe the Derby,
