In the party were Mr. andi Mms. johin L. ~Wilds, 244 Oxford road, andi their miniature railroad on the camp grounds and work is progressing with such rapidity that the first mun of the train is expected to be made within a week or so. The railroad, to .,be known as the Hastings Lake and Northern Illinois will. be an exact copy of a real road, in miniature , form. There will bc four. or five bundred yards of track- to. start,, with bridges, tunnels, .switches, stations and everything else to thrill and delightthe young- sters hearts. R.creataonal, Feature. ---,The road is designed specifically to. add to the enjoyment and rec- reational .possibilities of the camp, and knowing the natural attracion of railroads for big and little boys and girls,' the Y. M. C. A. fully expects the railroad to be one of -its most popular features. Not only are littie. boys excited over the prospect, but big boys ,as well. As a matter of fact, "the:big- ger they are,,-the harder they fali," and the bIusiness andi prof essional leaders of the Irving Park district who belong to the Y. M. C. A. andi local men's clubs, have taken over the road as a hobby,, many of them contributing' a wvelcome subsidy to- wards its constructiont.for the priv- ilege of being on its board of di- rectors. The board, and list of 'officers reatis like a social register of the commun- ty, containing naines of most of the, prominent , men in the district, andi every one of them is having the time of bis life planning his duties .as a prospective railroader this summer. Though. the railroad has been de- signed exclusively for the pleasure of the littie folks, as 1a- protectivie measure a strict ule wilil be in effect barring the use 'of the train except when an aduit is.in charge.. Very slightly behind the railiroad .as a..means for fun, is the fine stable of horses and ponies at Camp Hast- ings.
