Idlewilds Largest Picnic
Sixty-six coaches will be required to transport the 5,000 people who will go to Idlewild today over the Pennsylvania and Ligonier Valley railroads. It will be the reunion and excursion of the United Brethren denomination. It will probably be the largest excursion of the season to Idlewild, and 1,500 or 2,000 persons will go from this city along. A special train will carry a large number of excursionists to Altoona, and there will be guests present from as far east at Huntingdon and adjacent points.
