The Guests and their Entertainers.
The welcome we trusted would await the
visiters from abroad, has been extended, and |
its crowning act was the complete and cordial |
hospitality extended by single individual. |
Mr.. r. B. Bowler, a princely merchant, gem
erously invited party of three hundred ladies
and gentlemen to visit his house and grounds
at Clifton. A procession of ten large omni-
buses, escorted by the Chicago Light Guard
Band, passed out yesterday evening to the
environs, and all were charmed with the rural
beauty around, and the elevated view afforded
to gaze upon the city from a hill top, quite an
unusual opportunity for residents of Chicago
or Milwaukee.
At head of Sycamore street Hill, the
party alighted, and walked to the summit of
the hill to survey the landscape o'er, which in
cluded Kentucky, and all was pronounced
good. On repairing again to the conveyanc
the party were driven to the mansion of Mr..
Bowler, where the most magnificent hospital
ity was manifested In the marble paved
courts and halls of his costly house, but mostly
on the green sward of his lovely grass plat,
each pursued his or her bent, in qualification
and enjoyment. The scene of beauty would
have been deemed enchantment, if not made
real, by spread upon tables of ala tresco Of
costly banquet of Straw wberries and Ice Cream,
Cherries, &C., with Wines of sparkling exhile-
ration, and other drinkables pleasanl to taste.
Mr.. B. took especial pains TO make his
guests agreeable. All agreed first, that no
such a beautiful place could oxist-out of Par
adise-and second, that no such rare and gen
uine manifestation of costly and tasteful hos
pitality had been ever made except by an EN-
peror.
Deacon Bross, of the Chicago Press, spoke
right out in meeting, as his feelings permitted
utterance, and shouts Of appreciation followed
each other, as he said good things about the
good feast they had partaken.
Milwaukee had spokesmen who also said that
Cincinnati was a tip top place, and that Bow
Ter was tip top Cincinnatian.
That reunion of discriminating men and
women from abroad, will be at heart and in
memory, as the feature of the Convention.
The city of Cincinnati should appreciate the
services of Mr.. L'IIommedieu, President of
the c. II. Il D. r. r., for tho enterprise of
bringing to our city these men and women from
western cities, to see and know men and
women of Cincinnati. The Road deserves our
thanks and patronage on a line, which, al
though no shorter in distance, yet is of more
direct communication, by being of better grade
Supt. Laren, and Tuller, Davis & Co. of the
Omnibus Line, each in their sphere have
have been good hosts, and we believe our citi
zens generally have been earnest to make th
visitors to enjoy their visit.
The different mechanical enterprises of thu
city have been visited by turns, and gave sat
isfaction.
The practical working of that true mechani
cal mind of the day, the well known ErieesoI
in the CaIoric Engine, was witnessed by hun
dreds of the visiting ladies and gentlemen
who at all hours thronged our rooms, to which
they were cordially welcome.
On the 18th inst, an excursion party from
this city will leave for Chicago, when Cincin
natians will have an opportunity to renew al
acquaintance with a noble set of men, will
whom, and their Milwaukee brethren, we will
all he glad to continue friendly and CONNER
cial relations.
To-day party leave for Lexington, Ky.
and for the Mammoth Cave.
Time has been allowed until the 10th inst.
for excursionists to return. Many will return
by other routes, but supt. McLaren is bounC
to give ample accommodation and speed by tn
route over which the excursion came.
