Kinal arrangements have been made for the Annual Quarrymen's Picnic. It is to lie held this year on Tuesday instead of Saturday as has been the custom In former years. This year trains could not be secured for the excursion to be held on Saturday and another day had to be planned for. Tuesday. July 27. Is the date on which it will be held this year and a special train will leave Amherst in the morning and return in the evening. The train will leave Amherst at 8 o'clock In the morning and will leave Cedar Point at 7 SKI In the evening. l*ow rates have been secured for the excursion this year. The rato tor adults round trip including the boat trip from Sandusky to Cedar Point and return will be SSc and for children will lie 45c. This is a wonderful reduction as the regular fare one way to Sandusky is !i2c and the bout trip to the Point is 25c which makes at least twice as much as the people going on this excursion will have to pay. In addition to this all persons buying excursion tickets will be given ■ badge or mark of some sort free of charge, which will entitle them to dunce for half price. This is valuable to those who like to dance and many people will take advantage of It. The persons going in machines will be asked to pay for this badge which will entitle them to halt price dancing as no returns come In from those who go in machines. A train will meet the excursion at the Amherst depot which will take the people of South Amherst to No. ti quarry. This too Is another feature that will help to attract a crowd from South Amherst. The picnic Is Insured success beause of the way the quarrymen are taking hold of It and the affair has never been a failure yet so the committee Is satisfied that there will be a crowd present.
