Every citizen must realize the obligation-that this community will be under to show the finest hospitality to these guests, most of whom will doubtless arrive in motor cars; and there are few things that will contribute more to that end than supplying to them safe and convenient parking space for their cars. Unfortunately, the amount of ground suital'vi for parking within and immediately without Krug Park is limited, and if this space is pre-empted by bur own people, our friends may be driven to great distances for such accommodation, and the pleasure of their visit and the good impression which St. Joseph had hoped to make destroyed at the verjr outset. The General Committee and the Park Board, therefore, feel prompted to make an earnest appeal to citizens generally to come by street cars or other public conveyances, which will land them at the pedestrian entrance particularly on the opening night Special effort is being exerted to make this service equal to every demand upon It; and the general comfort of all attending as well as the ultimate success of this great undertaking will be much enhanced, if all who are so situated that they can do so, will unselfishly comply with this request.
