He will furnish the special trolley cars. and will have them on hand 10:80 o'clock Monday morning on Washingtonwstrcct to takeythe skids to the park.‘ ”f ' ”A" One of the best features of the ole party will be the “eats." Ac- cording to the general opinion of the boys and girls at previous years' outings, the food could not ballist- proved upon. and so, the bestpl'om- lee that can be made is misfit will be just as good as ever.

And the sad part of the whole story comes with the announcemeiit that the accommodations will be limited. Just think. only 2.000 kid- dies can go on the party. So there’s no warning. It is all a matter of first come, first serve. and the youngsters will be forced to be up , ind doing if they want to assure Mon- aiemselves of a reservation. the day‘s the day. and this week's ' time to get the tickets.
