The tram from Worcester arrived at pre-
cisely 11.3O, and Chander's Band rendered
them serenade. As the train stopped the
Portland delegation gave three hearty cheers
for Portland and Nashua. Then came the
meeting of the three City Governments and
Boards of Trade. The train stopped few
minutes for these congratu ations, and then
moved toward Portland in charge of conductor
O'Brion. The first thing in order after leaving
the depot was the introduction Of the several
persons. The meeting at the depot was merely
hit and miss Every Portland man who saw
a man with Worcester and Nashua pinned to
bis coat, grasped his hand, but this was some-
thing more definite Hon. George P. Wescott
and several others who knew the visitors, sta.
toned themselves in the car containing the
party and gave them an introduction to the
Portland delegation as they passed through
from one end of the train to the other. This
was an excellent idea and made every one feel
at home.
