Maryland, under command Of Major N. H.
Hotchkiss, travelling agent of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad and the Richmond,
York River and Chesapeake railroad. They
were soon aboard the cars and after a
short and pleasant ride all were safely
landed at the Richmond depot. Here the
party were tenderly placed in omnibusses
and driven to the Excha nge hotel.
On alighting they were ushered into the
dining-room and an address of welcome was
delivered by his honor A. M. Kelley,
mayor of this city. This was responded to
by George Wilson, esq.,, president of the
ASSOCIATION. He was followed by Judge
Tuck, late of the supreme court of
appeals of Maryland, but now senator OF
that state. The party was then addressed
by Mr.. John Gr@me, of the Wing, who in
conclusion, invited them to partake Of the
good cheer with which the tables were filled.
This part Of the programme being compli-
ed with, the city of Richmond was toasted,
and Judge Wright, of The JOURNAL,
being called upon, responded thereto.
The next was that of the state of Mary
land, responded to by Acknowledgement
Jones, of Baltimore. Hon. j. j. Stewart,
formally member of Congress of Balti-
more, was then called upon for speech,
and responded in eloquent ard forcible
strain of about half an hour. Mr.. Greene
here announced that dinner was ready,
and the gathering dispersed. This evening
at 80 o'clock, the excursionists will
assemble in the Capital Square, where
they will be photographed, having
been especially invited to do so by
Messrs. q. r. Rees & Co., photographers.
This being over they will then be escorted
in body to the executive mansion, where
they will be presented to his excellency
Governor Walker, by whom we may safely
say they will be addressed. They will
then be allowed to stroll around little.
At 81 o'clock sharp this evening they will
reassemble at the Exchange Hotel and pro-
coed in body to the residence of General
Bradley Il. johnson, there to be entertained
by him, he having invited them so to do
through Mr.. Creme, of The Wing.
The annual reunion of the association
will take place on board the steamer on the
trip down the Chesapeake. From Rich
mond they will tomorrow morning proceed
over the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to
the White Sulphur Springs, where they
expect to spend Sunday; thence to Charles
town, the capital of West Virginia, where
the association will be handsomely enter
tanned; next day to Huntington, from
which point they will proceed to Cincin-
natl by river steamer, on board Of which
the annual grafton will be delivered by
Mr.. g. w. M. Cooper, of the salisbury
Bachelor" From Cincinnati, where they
will be received by the board of trade, they
expect to proceed to Louisville, and thence
to the Mammoth Cave. Returning to Louis.
VILE. they will 60 to indianapolis, and
thence TO st. Louis, where the second Sum-
day will be be passed. On the homeward
