Owing to the heating of the axle., the train
was obliged to make longer stops than was con-
templated, and was over two hours behind
time at Bangor. Large crowds of people wit.
messed the arrival of the train at the principal
stations, and the marvellous beauty of the pal
ace cars extorted the most enthusiastic express
Ion all along the route. After leaving Port
land Hon. John B. Brown and III. N. Jose
were assiduous in their attention to the excur-
sionists and contributed greatly to the comfort
and happiness of all on board. The train tick
ct agent, Capp, also laid the company under
obligation for the systematic manner in which
he provided quarters for the night An i'm.
mense crowd was in waiting at the Bangor de-
pot, and it was not without difficulty that the
passengers made their way to the street. The
trip has been delightful in every respect, and
the company are now comfortably quartered
at the various hotels in the city. Tomorrow
we start for Mattawamkeag, leaving here at
nine o'clock.
