1t was in vain we tried to induce the Countess
Lola to go on the excursion. Her horror of Barnum
was too great In reply to all that we urged to in
duce her to 60, saying that she would see all the
editors of New York under one roof she would not
go. "No," said she; 81 he tricked me once, and
that was his fault. If he does it again, it will be
mine" But Mr.. Pick resolved to 60 alone, and
leave the indignant lady to so to the Catskill
Mountain House.

Mr.. Pick was at the depot at an early hour.
There were three which had been set apart for

press independents meaning those not under the con-
troll of Mr. b. or not in his pay. and the other was
for those devoted to Mr.. B. The third car was for
friends of Barnum, not connected with the press.
While We modestly waited. we were espied by Bar
NUNS secretary, Mr. E. Pensight. "Hallo, Pick"
said he, 'tbs is the car for you. B. told me to at
people that we did not know. sThey all belong
to the press, said the Secretary, who, like Bar
mum, is joker in a small way. "Spot them to u.s."
