The Democrat is asked to give publicity to a request that everyone attending this reunion enter the park by means of the main entrance in order that they may be given souvenirs emblematic of the reunion, and in this manner the promoters of the reunion will know to a certainty how many persons are present. Last year, it is stated, a number of young men, believing that an admission price to the park was being charged, jumped over the fence and therefore could not be counted. It is not the intention to charge admission to any of the reunions.
