Yesterday morning, according 10
previous arrangement, the delegations
OF excurslonlsts from Texas ana Lou
isiana assembled at the Louisville ho-
tel, where the committee Of citizens
and carriages were In waiting 10 es-

After leaving the hotel the first
point OF interest visited was Avery's
pillow factory, corner OF Fifteenth and
Main streets. The party was shown
through this establishment, the largest

only were the delegates. themselves
surprised and delighted TO be shown
the workings Of this branch Of our
manufacturing industries, but the citi-
zens themselves took an equal interest
In observing, many of them for the
first time, the magnitude into which
this enterprise has of late years been
developed.
Having resumed their seats in the
carriages the party drove to the cor
ner Of Eighth and Chestnut streets,
where they halted. Without any con-
sultation the Mayor ordered the fire
alarm to be turned in from box SO. In
exactly three minutes and half after
so doing four engines, the Gillis the
Levi, the Leach and the Sargent, were
on the grounds in the order mention
ed. The Leach engine, however, was
the first To throw water, After an eX-
hibition of the power and capacity of
the engines and discipline of the de-
partment, ii was the unanimous opin-
ion of the delegates that Louisville was
justified In the high estimation Ia
which she held her fire department.
The next places Of note visited were
the Masonic widows and orphans
home ard the house of refuge. At the
home, the children were assembled and
several songs nicely sung, to the evil
dent pleasure of all. The buildings
and grounds OF both institutions evOk-
ed many expressions of admiration,
while the principles upon which the
discipline OF the house of refuge has
been established were generally COM
mended. A drive through Cave Hill
cemetery was next proposed, and to
this beautiful city of the dead the car
riages proceeded. Here half hour
was pleasantly spent In traversing the
winding walks, noting the graves OF
illustrious personages, and observing
the natural beauties of the landscape
and the many splendid achievements
of the sculptor. On their return the
party stopped for a few moments at
the Eclipse wooden mills, and Were
shown through the establishment.
This produced a favorable impression
rs to the advantages Louisville posses
es in the way of manufacturing ia
cilities.
Having reached the Calf house, the
objective point of the trip, the party
was met by Colonel Johnson and
were at once invited to a banquet that
had been prepared for them. The long
ride, together with the attractiveness
of the table were excellent appetizers,
and ample justice was done the bill of
| fare. The banquet came to an end
amid general good feeling and good
humor. Later in the afternoon the
delegates met at the Louisville hotel,
and, after choosing presiding officer
and secretary, took the following ac-
