There were three cars which had been set apart for

for those devoted to Mr.. b. The third car was for
friends of Barnum, not connected with the press.

NUNS secretary, Mr.. E. Pensight. "Hallo Pick

Of Bridgeporters, who, for the first time in their
lives, saw one hundred editors grouped together.

an address, giving graphic account OF his progress
through life from the time he left Danbury With
out pair Of extra breaches, until that happy mo-
meDt. We were allowed an hourto go and visit the
| curiosities about the mansion. Mr.. Barnum came
| TO us with his secretary, asked how we were
| pleased, and regretted that Lola Monies did not
come up, as there were many sensible women in the
| party, and be had hoped to reconcile her to his
friends Greeley and Raymond. Barnum spoke SO
kindly Of Lola, that we melted, and told him
frankly, that if hc would 20 to her pic mic, at
Yonkers, on the 10th, and make speech, all should
be forgotten.
