| The State school excursion and picnic at Maldon yesterday was a most enjoyable one, and was attended by almost 1000 persons. The first train having started sooner than expected, even before the carriage doors were all closed, a few persons who were trying to get all the children in were left behind. Some indignation is felt at this disappointment, because the acting stationmaster caused the train to be started without having the bell rung and giving the usual intimation, otherwise all the railway arrangements for both trains were complete. The day was beautifully fine, the scene of the picnic exceptionally good, and Maldon friends so attentive and kind that everything passed off pleasantly...................Besides there were the merry-go-round, swings games and the en- livening strains of the Foundry Band. The excursionists all returned about 7:15 in the evening, fully satisfied with the day’s outing. Mount Alexander Mail, 22/10/ 1891 P.2 C3 |
