Packed comfortably and satisfactorily in the designated cars they began their journey. Lincoln «as just b.ginning th. hustle and bustle of a busy day by the time they arrived. 3rcakfa3t was soon taken cure of, undst this time the original phr-se don't think you know the score, was concocted. Calbei t Halsey uttered these immortal words. After a delicious bx eakfast, small groups wandered around window shopping, later nukia their way to the capitol building. At the designated time of ten o'clock they wore ..rovldod ..itii a guide who lea them to places of Inc lest in the ca.it 1. ‘.fter lx.ch they had until two o'clock to get lost on tile streets and many a boy and girl had quite a thrill by riding on the osculator in Miller b Paine's.

After bumping along at a fast clip, over hill end dale to the river, a fine repast was enjovod. The weiners Vi rr tat first part of the meal to be devo red, but along with the horsing of Calbort Halsey, they were stomached. Returning to Fairmont via the hard way, this tine over xield nd gulch, the group cisp..rs::d at the Bettger .arm, anc. out an end to a very enjoyable evening.
