The above constituted the business
of the Convention, except q string of
of thanks to different part
les. After that comes what most Of
those present came together fora
sociable time.
Having given the work of the Con-
vention, which, aside from the per-
manent organization of an Editors
Association, could hardly have
amounted to anything less, We proceed
to speak Of the enjoyable part
of the business. The evening of the
first day, at the invitation of the
the newspaper men attended
the lecture of Olive Logan, in Blacks
Opera House. Olive put herself
through her best PAGES and was well
Her lecture on "Girls"
is well put together and undera tumble
of humor, pathOs and earnestness, she
brings out strong arguments for
Woman Suffrage. At the close of this
entertainment the fraternity adjourn
ed TO the Murray House where a
bountiful supper was partaken of.
Until the small hours did the frater-
nifty remain here, for after eating al
most to repletion, tOasts, and respon-
ses, singing, and speeches were the
order of the night. All retired with
the feeling that it twas good to
be there"
After a short session the next day,
at 10 o'clock, the Convention moved
in a body to special train for the
purpose of visiting the State Fair
Grounds and Yellow Springs. The
grounds are as well adapted to the
wants of a State Fair as the Spring
field folks are to hold it, and that is
simply saying that nothing could be
better. After ashort ride of nine miles
the innOcents reached Yellow Springs.
The first raid was made upon the
Yellow Springs House, kept in excel
lent style by Mr.. Johnson. A bOunG-
full collation. was soon disposed of,
when at the invitation of the Neff
Brothers a movement was made
to their grounds. These cover
over four hundred acres and Glen
Valley and cascade were thoroughly
examined, and the water of the spring
drank. More beautiful scenery was
never witnessed anywhere. On these
grounds there is in progress of con-
struction a hotel which will be ca
pable of accommodating 900 guests.
1t will have large sleeping rooms,
well furnished, parlor 74X52, din
ing room of immense proportions
and everything to match. After a
good look about, the crowd was turn
ed Oh to luuch and "bottled water''
of which short work was made. The
was so rejOiced that most of
them lifted up their voices and sang
Once more aboard of the train the
made its way to the Lagoon
da Agricultural Works. At these |
works are manufactured the Cham
pion Reaper and Moving Machines, |
for the Northern States and the Brit
sh American Provinces. About three /
hundred hands are employed in all 1
5he different departments, and the |
visitor is almost stunned at the sights /
