FXcURsIoN AND CLAM BAKE-The ar
rangements for the railroad. pic mic are pro-
crossing finely. The arrangements for the
boats, including the landings, are 81 secured,
and the spot selected commands Fl ne view of
the city, bay and the surrounding islands The
steamer Charles Houghton will run during
the day in the service of the committee, so that
parties not able to join the excursion on board
the j Dhn Brooks in the morning. can go down
later in the Houghton, which will bring back
TO the city such as may wish to return during
the day.
Invitations have been widely distributed out
side OF the city, and letters of acceptance re-
ceived from large number of public men,
merchants, and this railroad picnic unlike or
binary clam bakes, is a business meeting, and
none have been invited except representative
men, eminent in public life or in connection
with public enterprises. Delegations are ex-
pected from every town on the route, from
Portland to Oswego, and prominent individ-
uas between Oswego ard Chicago. If the
weather is pleasant there is no question that it
will be very joy full affair.
Probably in no other method could Senator
Hanlin secure such audience as will on |
that day greet him while unfolding his great |
railroad scheme to the public.
1t is well understood that the opposition that |
now comes from Boston, seeks to divert the |
Oswego interest 10 the Hoosac Tunnel and is |
adverse to the interest of New Hampshire and |
Vermont. Both these States are deeply inter- |
ested to secure the Oswego line to the seaboard |
across both those States, while the Hoosac |
Tunnel route avoids both. 1t is also well nm |
derstood that the object Of the present meet |
ing is 10 unite all interests favoripg the Port
land route against the proposed diversion. re-
Gently attempted by Boston parties.
In 1869 convention at Oswego agreed to
carry out the line to Portland by way of Boon |
Vile, Glen's Falls and Rutland. Representa- |
tive men are expected to carry out by contract |
the engagements originally made. Ever since
the Oswego convention of 1869, Boston inter.
ests have been busy in their efforts to detach
Oswego from the Portland alliance and induce /
their peple to favor line by the way of. Rome |
and Saratoga Springs, and the Hoosac Tunnel.
Our business men therefore promptly respond
% the call for funds now made upon them, to
make the proposed meeting a triumphant sue
cess, 10y their support of Mr.. Hamlin's bill and
generous reception of its author on this
