been so royalty entertained by diff

bound limited train from st. Peters

It was source of great disappoint-

in the time of their arrival. The citi-
zens of Ocala were expecting them to
arrive on the noon train, and by the
unfortunate mistake the program
had to be changed, and these hon
ored guests had to be rushed around
so that they did not get to do one
half that had been planned In their
honor.
A very delightful luncheon had been
arranged at the Wonman's Club for
Q o'clock and this was indeed to have
been a very beautiful affair, and the
