On Thursday Messrs. Berry Bros., Ltd., of Detroit, tendered a tally-ho ride to the ladies to Belle Isle. It was noticed, however, there were a good many men in the party! Some forty vehicles were used to take the company and it was a great treat, aided by the fine weather. On Thursday evening the entire lower part of the Detroit Opera House was reserved for the use of the delegates and supplymen, with their ladies, and some six hundred persons enjoyed the play, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." On Friday a trolley ride was given to the ladies to Mt. Clemens, via the Rapid Railway and Gratiot Avenue, returning via the Shore Line to the Country Club, Grosse Pointe, where an elaborate luncheon was served, returning to the city at four o'clock. This was the chief entertainment of the Convention, and it was a very enjoyable affair; the perfect weather continuing and all arrangements for the trip being of a most satisfactory character. The Officers and Executive Committee received many courtesies from the local street railway men, who improved every opportunity to make them happy. The railway companies of the city of Detroit spared no pains to render their guests comfortable and to ensure them a pleasant sojourn in the city, and in this they succeeded to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. It may be mentioned that the attendance at the Detroit Convention was the largest in the history of the Association-more than three-quarters of the members sending delegates and the convention will pass into the history of the Association as a most pronounced success.
