strongest. Twenty-four trains, regular
and special, will be used to transport
the excursionists to the park. The de
mand for the reunion this year is
greater than ever before, and present

ance. When one considers the natural
beauty of Conneaut Lake, the many
facilities afforded at the park foi
amusement and entertainment, tht
excellent order which is maintained,
and the very low rates which are secur
ed, it is no wonder that so many
thousands of the United Presbyterian?
