With Harry Culbertson Gus Wiehe I
Charles Langston EJ Howell Hill A I
Smart Will Pate and the rest of the j
official boys and layman all on the job
there wasnt anjtv iLg to be desired fori
comfort entertainment or pleasure
The railroad boys provided ice cream j

employes during the day
All supplies and baggage were re
ceived at the depot at McCook check
ed to Cambridge nnd delivered on the
grounds by the ralroad boys and every
effort made to make it easy and conven
ient fcr all
A more orderly well behaved gentle
manly and lady like gathering of a
thousand people the writer has never
seen on a similar or other occasion
The day was absolutely without an
unpleasant incident or ought to offend
the most delicate or sensitive
The first annual was a most enjoyable
success but the boys hope to excel it
next year And they will
And they dont make better people
